Pros
Supportive colleagues (if you’re lucky).
Cons
The management here is incompetent and insecure, often resorting to bullying tactics that make employees feel worthless. I will share a few examples to explain:
I was once told not to put my hands in my pockets while standing.
During a family emergency where my brother had an accident, I was by his side with an ambulance present. I informed my manager about the situation, including sending pictures. Within five minutes, I was pressured to leave my injured brother and reach the office as soon as possible.
Management dictates everything — from how to stand to how to write emails — creating a culture where employees constantly doubt themselves. Many colleagues left after public confrontations due to the frequent use of foul language and shouting in the office. Shouting at employees in front of everyone was a regular occurrence.
The IT and HR departments are particularly toxic. Complaints made to HR about abusive behavior never result in meaningful action, and instead, the managers responsible are often promoted. HR's primary goal is to protect the company, not the employees.
Additionally, there is constant monitoring of employee systems. Files, emails, and activities are routinely checked, so employees should avoid storing anything personal on office systems.
Despite all the negativity, one positive aspect is supportive colleagues. I was fortunate to work with a team that was helpful and cooperative, which made the experience slightly better
Bullying and insecure management.
