Pros

Honestly, very few. Perhaps the only positive is the brand name and some decent colleagues (if you’re lucky).

Cons

1. No Learning or Development Opportunities: There is absolutely no structured learning or upskilling initiative in place. You’re expected to learn everything on your own, often by trial and error, which ends up wasting time and affecting performance. 2. Growth is Based on Favouritism, Not Merit: Promotions and recognition are reserved for those who excel at pleasing their managers rather than delivering results. If you are good at licking your manager’s boot, then you are wanted there. 3. Training is a Joke: The onboarding process and continuous training are subpar. New joiners are left in the lurch with minimal support, and there’s no formal training even for evolving responsibilities. 4. Micromanagement: Management is obsessed with tracking every minute of your workday. You’re regularly asked to justify why you didn’t work the full 8 hours—even when your tasks are completed. Time-tracking is more important than outcomes. You have to put task completion time in your cases. The frequent oversights and forgotten directives from absent-minded seniors created confusion and inefficiency within the team. 5. Biased Senior Leadership: When senior leaders are biased and favor some people over others, it makes it hard for people to get ahead based on their abilities and creates a negative atmosphere. Their outdated way of managing is strict, unfair, and shows they lack a plan and people skills. 6. Toxic Team Culture: The team environment lacks collaboration and empathy.
