Pros
- People you work with become lifelong friends. - You can learn a lot in a very short time. - You can work globally.
Cons
- Top management sees you as dispensable workers, especially if you work in the HQ. Co-Founders also can swear at you. But they are different to global employees because they know they can't grow in the regions like UK and EU with a bad employee reputation. - It's not only that there is a lot of work to do and you work long hours, but they want you to spend even your late nights and the weekends in the office. Even if you don't have work to do, don't have a life and spend every moment in the company. - They pay lower than the industry standart because ''they give bonus'' but then it's very hard to achieve that bonus. It's not only your pay but everything is done with the ''do more with less'' mindset so your computer can break down in the middle of an important call working in an AI company because they refuse to purchase a new one. They won't put AC in the booth so you will sweat if you try to take a call in one of them. - Even if you do good at your job, they always focus on the negatives. You could've done more, take side responsibilities, finish all the projects in your KPIs, etc. - They lure you in with career growth opportunities but in realities there is no roadmap and even if there is a position open and you ask for it, they won't give it to you because of internal balances. Instead of educating the current employees, they try to hire externally and have that position open for months. - Most managers in the HR and especially their Head, have zero industry knowledge because they've only been in one company for 10 years. So they can't give you any good advice and usually make things harder for you. They don't know how to lead people and teams, so everyone is very unhappy. When you give them feedback, they only object and don't change anything.
