Pros
You will succeed here if you agree with the MD 100% of the time and are open to be treated like a child instead of an adult. Oh and if you’ve never considered taking leave and coming into office while you’re sick is a way of life, you’ll be employee of the year all day long.
Cons
Doing things the right way is secondary. Bulldozing to secure a client signature is preferable. When the MD considers governance as a waste of time and copy pasting one agreement to another as acceptable, that should be a huge red flag. The MD is the alpha and the omega. Everything starts and ends with him. Everything. Even if you are a C-level, you have absolutely zero empowerment. But all the accountability falls on you. MD tells you to do things a certain way and no other way is acceptable. But it doesn’t work. It’s 100% your fault. It is a culture of blame, severe micromanagement and minimal empowerment.
