Pros
Apart from a few genuinely brilliant colleagues who make each day slightly more bearable, there are no real upsides. Imagine being stuck on a burning boat — that’s the general vibe. People get by with humour and mutual support, but that’s about it.
Cons
One of the most demoralising work environments they’ve experienced. There’s zero incentive to go beyond the bare minimum, yet expectations to “go above and beyond” are constant. All of this, of course, for the lowest salary management can get away with. There’s no meaningful support, communication is patchy at best, and the underlying issues stem from a leadership team that is both toxic and out of touch. The potential is there — the people are capable — but leadership is the biggest liability. The unspoken motto might as well be: “Everyone is replaceable.” Emotional outbursts, power struggles, and poor decision-making are commonplace. On paper, the company presents well. In reality, it’s a revolving door of talented individuals leaving due to: No pay progression Zero recognition A culture of “don’t like it? There’s the door” They’d advise anyone considering a role here to negotiate hard on salary — they can afford more, they just choose not to invest in the people keeping things afloat. Better yet, avoid the stress and look elsewhere. As for the people who should be there there to make sure everything is run fairly…It's widely seen as compromised. Confidentiality is a myth, especially when aligned with leadership. Gossip spreads faster than actual information, and trust is thin on the ground.
