Pros

Initially, they lure you in with a good compensation package. But soon enough, you’ll realize how the underlying system truly operates—draining you physically and mentally while keeping you trapped in their toxic cycle.

Cons

The company is in complete chaos.

Employees are scrambling to meet unrealistic deadlines, burning themselves out just to avoid being caught in the so-called "restructuring"—which is nothing more than a layoff in disguise.

If they feel you haven't made an "impact" on their vague and ever-changing goals, they'll push you to resign. It's a relentless rat race, and the work culture is downright toxic.

What was once a great company 2.5 years ago has now turned into a numbers game, where employees are nothing but expendable resources to be squeezed dry to meet quotas.
