Pros

The free benefit is appreciated and adds tangible value. The free snack is a thoughtful gesture that makes the experience more enjoyable.

Cons

No proper training: Employees rely mostly on tribal knowledge from engineers or coworkers, which leads to inefficiency and mistakes. Minimum pay: Compensation is at the lowest level and does not reflect the workload or responsibilities. Tight deadlines: Upper management often waits until the last moment to decide, then rushes employees, creating unnecessary stress. Excessive working hours: A minimum of 60 hours per week is unsustainable and risks burnout. Minimal raises and incentives: Yearly awards and raises are very small, making extra effort and long hours feel unrewarded. Poor management practices: Lack of clear direction and indecisiveness undermines productivity and morale. No proper tools: Employees are expected to deliver results without adequate resources, which reduces efficiency and quality.
