Pros

While the remuneration, benefits, and remote work options may seem appealing, they do not compensate for the extent to which the role damages work-life balance and mental health. Ultimately, the drawbacks outweigh the benefits, making it not worth working there.

Cons

The organisation has fostered a toxic culture in which employees are pressured to constantly outperform one another. This is compounded by direct micromanagement from the CEO, including a requirement to provide weekly updates on individual tasks.
