The Blame Game

Anonymous employee

Pros

-Benefits -shares, if you last a year

Cons

Employees are nothing. Senior management will make your life hell by micromanaging you 24/7. Literally. You work 7 days 16 hour days. There is no empathy and all they care about is the NPS score. That way the can sell to investors a facade.
