Pros

There really isn't much to say other than they have company accommodation with a pool.

Cons

Bad leadership, no structure, no empathy for employees, employees are being overworked with no overtime pay. Very low salaries for the Africa team. Some earn just above the minimum salary wage but work more than 40 hours a week. Gaslighting and constant arguments with employees over promises that leadership never follows through with eg increases, bonuses. This company was my worse experience in a startup environment.

Pros

You’re getting a good machine, but you're paying for it. They deduct it from your salary —so I’m not sure that counts as a pro.

Cons

The work environment is extremely toxic. Employees are treated like they're disposable, and management speaks to you as if they're doing you a favor by giving you a job. There’s no clear company structure, and the workload is overwhelming. You're expected to work after hours and on weekends simply because you live on-site. The CEO or owner may even demand to see you over the weekend, sending messages on Teams out of the blue on a Saturday or Sunday, insisting on meeting immediately. There’s no work-life balance—you’re essentially treated like a servant, not a professional.
