Pros

Some leaders are cool, and they get on your side if you have a personal issue.

Cons

Micromanagement, they focus more on seeing hours worked even if the work has no value. As an automation engineer, they asked us to automate 100% of the test cases, even though we only reused 15% or 20% for regression. When they were going to migrate the website to another tool, they still made us work on the site that was going to become obsolete because we couldn't be without work. They could have put us to learn some tool or technology in our free time instead.

All the work we do has value. We are constantly assessing new technologies and prototyping solutions, sometime in parallel with existing technologies. This may be misconstrued as busy work, but serves a very specific purpose in terms of evaluating the efficacy of new platforms, as well as contingency options to support the ongoing needs of the business in the event the experimental technology does not come to fruition.

The company’s focus on AI and automation was genuinely valuable. It provided opportunities to learn new skills and stay current with emerging technologies.

Cons

• Workloads were consistently extreme, leaving employees with no real relief or balance • Employees were expected to work excessively long and exhausting hours on a constant basis • Daily expectations were unrealistically high, creating a cycle of stress and disappointment • The environment showed little regard for employee wellbeing or sustainable working conditions • Burnout became a constant risk due to sustained pressure and lack of support • Leadership showed no visible concern for struggling employees and failed to check in or offer help • Communication and support from top leadership were largely absent during periods of high stress • Colleagues were also overwhelmed and overworked, leaving little ability to provide meaningful support • The overall atmosphere created isolation and frustration due to lack of assistance and empathy
