Pros
On the positive side, you will come across some good colleagues who genuinely help each other. However, the downside is that these connections may not last long, as people often disappear suddenly (frequently due to being fired by management). At the same time, you will also notice employees who have been working there for more than 25 years. You may occasionally get good food two or three times a year, usually organised by employees themselves through small get-togethers within the company. Although, you are expected to bring your own food (lol).
Cons
The company often feels less like a professional workplace and more like a school environment, where employees are treated more like students than experienced professionals. Leadership is heavily centred around one individual who positions himself as the sole driver of the organisation. While there is frequent talk about guiding employees in the “right direction”, the approach often feels unconvincing and lacking clarity. The management style can come across as rigid and discouraging, and at times, the overall culture feels unnecessarily negative. A considerable amount of time is spent in meetings that feel unproductive, with many of them dominated by one voice rather than encouraging open discussion. There is also a noticeable expectation to accept decisions around salary and workload without much room for conversation, which can feel limiting. If you are considering joining, it is worth looking into the experiences of former employees, as feedback is often not very positive. High employee turnover is another concern, making it difficult to build stability or long term professional relationships. You can consider the time spent in this company as a life lesson where you learn patience and gain exposure to corporate life. When attending interviews, make sure to ask as many questions as possible about work culture and anything else you want to clarify. The experience you gain here will stay with you for a long time and may even haunt you.
