Pros
- You become emotionally indestructible within 3 months. - Great place to improve your patience, because salaries arrive like limited edition collectibles. - Excellent cardio from running behind managers for approvals. - You learn to survive on tea, stress, and pure rage. - Every day feels different because nobody knows what's happening. - Strong character development. You'll either become mentally stronger or start applying everywhere on LinkedIn. - Amazing for networking, mostly with other employees who are also planning their escape. - Free training in crisis management, office politics, and pretending everything is fine during meetings. - Teaches you the true value of a good company by showing you the opposite.
Cons
If you ever see someone posting a glowing review about this place, either they won the office politics lottery, or they've developed Stockholm syndrome with a company ID card. Working here feels less like a job and more like volunteering for a very aggressive social experiment. At this point, even unpaid NGO work has a better return on investment, at least you get purpose instead of blood pressure. The company somehow has 40 to 50 employees, endless meetings, endless expectations, endless drama, but apparently no budget for salaries. Financial planning here works like a magic trick, the money disappears before anyone sees it. There are maybe one or two decent managers holding the entire place together with caffeine, stress, and pure divine intervention. The rest operate like they're competing in an annual championship for Worst Leadership Practices. You'll leave with experience, sure. Mostly experience in burnout, frustration, and wondering how a place can be so chaotic without accidentally collapsing into a sinkhole.
