Pros

Toxic positivity means you’ll master the art of pretending everything’s fine

Cons

This company burns you out and discards you. Leadership is selfish, demanding unpaid overtime while offering no work-life balance—expect constant pressure with zero regard for your well-being. Managers micromanage every move, ignoring your past experience like it’s irrelevant. They block growth, handing promotions to only the inner circle sycophants through blatant favoritism and nepotism. Toxic positivity papers over real issues, and their tone-deaf “keep smiling” attitude ignores your struggles. They fake a “great culture” with paid reviews and lies. Speak up about issues? Expect penalties and punishment, not solutions. New hires, run—this is a soul-crushing dead-end.

Pros

Local Global Opportunities if you're interested Hybrid (3 days office, 2 day home)

Cons

a. C-Suite is not trusted b. Poor leadership showing no compassion what so ever. c. HR is unapproachable and unavailable, even hidden behind hierarchy that makes it impossible to know who to call. That's the way they want it. d. NO work life balance... vacations, holidays, week-ends, nights, it's all on the table for some departments (not HR though). e. Long term employees who have contributed to the growth of the company are discarded or pushed to the side. You have to show your loyalty but don't expect it back.
