Pros

close to home, nice new office.

Cons

told to put your phone away as you belong to the company whilst there. Great if you dont have a life or family outside of the job. You cant even access the internet, send personal emails at all. You have no flexibility of when to take lunch - like being back at school. Whole place is run on fear from the top.

Pros

Watch terrible managers in their natural habitat and learn exactly what not to do when you eventually escape. You'll collect plenty of horror stories and "what not to do" examples for future interviews. Your ego will be regularly crushed by incompetent decisions from above, keeping you very grounded.

Cons

Constant stress, anxiety, and burnout become the norm rather than the exception. Dealing with toxicity, favouritism, gaslighting, and backstabbing. Below-market pay, stingy benefits, or "we're a family" excuses when asking for raises. Good people leave constantly, leaving you with even more work and a revolving door of panicked new hires. An environment that is great for building character and funny war stories, but terrible for your career trajectory, happiness, and long-term well-being.
