Pros

You learn a lot due to the fast-paced nature.

Cons

You learn a lot at the cost of everything else.

  • Lowballed salary.
  • My role was advertised as a SWE role with development opportunities in the job description, but it turned out to be totally different. They basically toy with your future and career growth.
  • Forget about work-life balance if you are joining.
  • No pay progression nor career progression within the company; it's only good as a stepping stone.
Advice to Management

Wake up your idea and think about what I just said regarding the cons, if you value employee retention at all.
