Pros
There are genuinely good people within the company, but your experience largely depends on the team dynamics and the effectiveness of your manager. The quality of your experience is significantly influenced by these factors.
Cons
The office culture could be best described as catty and hostile. There was constant gossip and exclusion that made it really hard to feel like part of the team. I felt very excluded and dreaded going into work. My manager yelled in meetings to publicly humiliate me. Their relentless criticism gradually stripped away my self-worth. There were times I found myself crying in the bathroom or at lunch due to the overwhelming stress and bullying I experienced. It was a tough environment to navigate emotionally. The stress from working at the company was so intense that I had to seek therapy to cope with it and I am still not sure if I have recovered from the trauma I experienced working here. Overtime was the name of the game, and it wasn’t just a once in a while thing. We’re talking intense, long hours week after week. What’s worse, management never really hinted at slowing down. It was all about meeting deadlines, even if it meant sacrificing our sanity and well-being.
