Positive aspects overshadowed by toxic culture and bad practices
Pros
Salary, Work life balance, Office Location
Cons
Toxic Work Culture: A workplace that thrives on high stress, constant overtime, lack of trust, and management that treats employees like numbers rather than people. Poor Customer Support: Companies that hide their contact info, rely entirely on broken chatbots, or trap you in endless automated phone loops when things go wrong. Anti-Consumer Practices: Using "dark patterns" (manipulative website designs that trick you into buying things), forcing anti-repair policies, or locking you into ecosystem traps. Bad Leadership and Greed: Prioritizing short-term stock value and massive executive bonuses while simultaneously laying off staff or cutting product quality. Deceptive Marketing: Constantly overpromising and underdelivering, or engaging in "greenwashing" (faking environmental responsibility while actively causing harm).
