Pros

Flexibility regarding office attendance Good colleagues Good place to start a career and get to learn right after university.

Cons

Too many people in one open space office due to lack of space They didn't even offer us water in the office. Micromanagement No HR - a colleague from admin team cannot be an HR They will let you go as soon as they cannot get 200% from you Lots of overtime and work on weekends, There is no rule whether one is an employee or a self employed person; the management will treat you as it fits them Facilities are not suitable: frequent power shortages and water shortages Career advancement depends whether the senior has use for you OR if you get to be a "yes man"

Doing a lot of things. You cant specify at something particular and when asking to be involved in a project you like doesnt mean you will get into that

Pros

One of the main positives of my current role is the variety of projects I’ve worked on, especially across research and applied AI. It gave me the opportunity to explore different technologies and experiment with solutions, which helped me grow quickly and build a broad skill set. I also appreciate the level of flexibility and ownership I’ve had when choosing tools and approaches.

Cons

On the other hand, I’ve realized that I work best in environments with more structured planning and clearer task allocation. Sometimes priorities or meetings come up last minute, which can make it harder to plan and stay fully focused.
