Pros
Hard to find something good
Cons
A company full of hypocrisy and gossip. Many employees will do absolutely anything to curry favor with management, stepping over their colleagues while pretending to be loyal. In reality, their motivation is fear of being fired themselves, so they constantly try to please leadership and appear devoted. The workplace is saturated with dishonesty and fake behavior. From your very first days, you'll likely become the subject of unpleasant gossip or be dragged into it by others. Instead of focusing on their work, many people focus on surviving, talking about others, and office politics. Reporting on colleagues is actively encouraged. If you bring management negative information about someone—or even make something up—it is often accepted without verification, and you instantly become one of management's favorites. Work processes change almost daily, priorities are constantly shifting, and nobody wants to spend time onboarding or mentoring new employees. There is ongoing conflict between departments, and people constantly discuss one another behind their backs, both professionally and personally. Overtime is not paid, even though you may be expected to work it. It is considered perfectly normal to receive urgent requests late in the evening or during weekends. If you agree once, it quickly becomes the expectation, and you will continue to be taken advantage of. Employees are treated as disposable resources rather than valued professionals. The smallest thing that displeases the CEO can be enough to get you dismissed immediately. The company has a habit of terminating employees without notice and without providing reasonable justification. Most people simply leave instead of defending their rights because dealing with the company's lawyers is seen as more trouble than it's worth. Corporate events have an inner circle of employees close to management who regularly get drunk, and this is treated as completely acceptable. More broadly, these events often feel like opportunities to encourage people to let their guard down so management can observe who behaves "appropriately" and who does not. The number of genuinely decent and professional people in the company can be counted on one hand. The rest are opportunistic hypocrites willing to do almost anything for recognition from management. There is effectively no organizational hierarchy. The CEO makes decisions on virtually every issue, regardless of its nature. If the CEO takes a dislike to you, you should expect to lose your job sooner or later.
