Pros
Some team members were supportive and made the environment more bearable day-to-day. Offers entry-level exposure to industry-specific systems and workflows. If you've been checking in, you may have noticed changes in reviews and comments. Let's examine.
Cons
The culture is dominated by micromanagement and surveillance. Employees are monitored remotely by a big brother figure, including activity such as mouse clicks, which are prioritized over actual job performance or KPIs. Working from home is discouraged, even with the same monitoring systems in place, creating unnecessary rigidity and stress. Promotions tend to favor those who can tolerate the dysfunction rather than those who demonstrate leadership or skill. Many managers appear to be selected based on tenure rather than merit. If one department requires three managers, perhaps it is time to reevaluate. Leadership behavior has raised serious concerns. There have been instances where under employee reviews, company leaders left comments —some of which inappropriately referenced health-related matters or speculated about who authored the reviews. While these comments were later deleted, the fact that they were made at all shows a lack of professionalism and respect for employees. Employees have reportedly been encouraged to submit overly positive reviews to drown out more critical or honest ones, which further undermines transparency. International employees, particularly those on work visas, may find themselves in precarious positions. Employment can end abruptly, with little to no communication or support. Diversity, while present in surface-level metrics, does not appear to be meaningfully embraced in terms of actual inclusion of all backgrounds
