Pros

You are selected from university and get overjoyed. You create a post on LinkedIn while your unemployed classmates like and comment on your post.

Cons

A company that glorifies burnout and punishes humanity. You can pour every ounce of your time, health, and personal life into the job by working 16 hours a day and on weekends as well, only to be placed on a PIP by a manager who struggles to even create a PPT. This company treats software engineers as tissue paper. For international students on a work visa, the consequences are life-shattering.

Advice to Management

Replace the management with AI Robots instead of hardworking SDEs.
