Pros
-You will gain experience quickly due to constant pressure and high workload -Some team members were resilient and supportive despite the environment
Cons
-Work-life balance is effectively non-existent; being “available” outside working hours is treated as the norm, not the exception -On-call expectations are unreasonable and often translate into continuous work rather than occasional support -Chronic overwork is normalised, with little effort to address burnout -Compensation does not reflect workload, responsibility, or market standards -Leadership shows limited regard for employee wellbeing or personal circumstances, especially with disabilities -Communication style is overly critical and discouraging rather than constructive -Culture is driven more by pressure and control than trust or respect -High expectations, low support, and little respect for boundaries -Leadership promotes an outdated “work at all costs” mindset that results in burnout being treated as normal.
