• Remote work and it ends there

🧛‍♂️ Micromanagement Hell: Every minor task is tracked, reviewed, and questioned like you’re applying for parole. Managers act like vampires – draining every ounce of motivation and creativity.

😤 Toxic Pressure Cooker: The stress is unreal. Work starts creeping into your personal life until you can’t tell the difference between your job and your existence. Burnout isn’t a possibility — it’s guaranteed.

🧠 "Senior" Engineers, Junior Thinking: Most senior engineers are glorified Jira ticket shufflers with inflated egos and no technical depth. Expect arrogance, not guidance.

🤝 Collaboration Theatre: They talk about open culture and teamwork, but it’s all for show. If you were ever proud of your collaboration skills, this place will kill that joy fast.

🎯 Cutthroat Competitiveness: It’s not about building good products — it’s about stepping over each other for visibility and promotion. The culture rewards loud voices, not thoughtful ones.

🪤 No Room to Breathe: Constant meetings, performance reviews, and pressure to “influence” even when it’s meaningless. Good ideas die here. Fast.

🫥 Culture of Fear, Not Feedback: Feedback goes one way — down. And it's mostly criticism. Raising issues or pushing back only puts a target on your back.
