There is an extremely poor work-life balance with a consistently high workload and pressure. Management often creates unrealistic expectations without adequate support. Career-related communication, including hike discussions and conversions, lacks transparency, leaving employees uncertain about their future. Employees frequently feel insecure about job stability due to sudden workforce changes and limited communication. The work environment can become stressful, with employee well-being often taking a back seat to delivery timelines.

Long-term success comes from retaining and valuing talented people, not treating them as easily replaceable.
