Pros

A few colleagues were genuinely friendly and helpful Some pockets of supportive people, but rare Hybrid

Cons

The work environment felt highly political and toxic Support was inconsistent — coworkers reached out only when they needed help, but were unresponsive when you needed assistance Long working hours were treated as normal, not due to productivity, but because “everyone else is doing it” Pressure to stay late to appear productive — no real work–life balance Leadership and teammates lacked transparency, fairness, and accountability Decisions often seemed based on personal relationships instead of merit or performance Overall atmosphere was demotivating and unsustainable

Pros

The overall environment of the company is good. The HR manager, GM, nurses, specialists, and doctors were very nice and supportive. They gave a uniform, even though it is not pretty and only gave 2 sets, but it is still good because I don't have to think about what to wear to work. The 2-month bonus was great too, and I enjoy all the side activities the HR did for the staff.

Cons

My manager need to work on her leadership. She is the reason why marketing executives change the time. Within 2 years, I have had about 4 colleague changes because they couldn't stand her temper. I am very much underpaid.
