Pros

You get a free lunch, which consists of bread and miscellaneous processed beige goods.

Cons

If you care about your mental health, self-respect, and having any kind of life outside work, stay far away from this company. They lure you in with big promises, painting a picture of growth and opportunity but the reality couldn’t be further from that. Once you’re in, you quickly learn that the culture is built on fear, ego, and exploitation. Junior staff are treated as expendable, constantly blamed for issues beyond their control, while senior management take the credit for any success and shift the blame for any mistake. The workload is relentless, the pay is insulting for the hours demanded, and burnout is seen as just part of the job. Overtime is expected, weekends often disappear, and any attempt to raise concerns is brushed aside and told is “bad PR” The environment is toxic, manipulative, and dominated by a leadership team who are only there for the financial gain. The anxiety you have on a day to day basis is quite frankly out of control, and It’s not unusual to see people retreat to what’s been jokingly dubbed “the crying room” to cope with the stress. Promotions and pay rises are dangled like carrots but rarely delivered, and real support or mentorship is nonexistent. It’s a place that drains your confidence, blurs your boundaries, and leaves you questioning your worth. Only after leaving do you realize just how unhealthy and damaging this place truly is. Their reputation in the industry and turn over rate speaks volumes, and it’s well-earned.
