Pros

The colleagues used to be amazing — sharp, supportive, and genuinely inspiring. You get tea and a delightful bun jam in the office. But, spoiler alert, you might have to work overtime just to enjoy that luxurious perk.

Cons

Leadership once consisted of brilliant minds who were great mentors. Unfortunately, almost all of them left. The culture is in a free fall. Every day, it somehow finds new depths of dysfunction. Respect is a foreign concept here. Employees are essentially held hostage with laughable retention tactics. Planning for deadlines? Wishful thinking. Leadership’s lack of foresight is dumped onto employees who then carry the burden like overworked pack mules. Ever wondered how to scam startup founders under the guise of assistance? Welcome to the masterclass. Hard work is recognised, but only if you define recognition as nitpicking, undermining, and a complimentary kick to your morale. Almost every original team member has jumped ship. If that doesn't speak volumes, I don’t know what will. Don't believe the good ratings. We all know exactly which fake profiles are responsible for those.
