Pros
Good in the start, the management listens to you and you can implement a lot of initiatives. Exposure to high-pressure environments (if you enjoy “character building” through chaos). Fast-paced setting where no two days are the same. Opportunity to develop stress tolerance (you’ll need it).
Cons
Micromanagement to an absurd level — treated more like a hall monitor than an HR professional. Management is petty, short-sighted, and frankly incompetent. Zero trust culture — even basic things like leave requests are viewed with suspicion. Productivity measured by minutes, not actual work output. Extremely high turnover — entire teams come and go within months. Toxic environment where being a “snitch” is more valued than actual performance. Lack of basic respect for employees. Serious impact on mental health and overall well-being. Poor learning environment despite being positioned as a startup. Clearance/exit process takes unnecessarily long and is frustratingly inefficient.
