Pluspunten

Offers a crash course in navigating high-pressure environments with misaligned leadership. Provides a very clear blueprint of what a non-ideal workplace culture looks like, serving as a cautionary benchmark for future career moves.

Minpunten

The Reality of Working Here: Leadership is completely detached from the daily grind and broader market trends. Expect an inflexible culture where you are required to be in the office until 7:00 PM daily based on founder mandates. Professional development is non-existent; instead, you are forced to juggle the responsibilities of five people under the guise of "AI efficiency." In reality, management uses AI to generate instructions without checking for accuracy, leaving employees to deal with the fallout. To make matters worse, the company's financial health is questionable, evidenced by recent pay cuts, lack of cost-of-living adjustments, and the stripping away of health benefits.

Pluspunten

The salary was livable, I guess. Office location was fine.

Minpunten

The main issue is that priorities shifted constantly — like, you'd start work on something, get halfway through, and suddenly it's not important anymore and now you need to pivot to something else that wasn't even communicated until that moment. Expectations were never clear from the start, and I'd get completely different direction week to week, which honestly gets exhausting. You'd spend time building systems based on what management swore was critical, then find out they'd decided on a totally different approach and nobody bothered looping you in. There's no way to do solid work when requirements change every five seconds and half the time you're finding out after you've already committed time and energy. I watched several other people leave for the exact same reason, so it's not just me being frustrated — it's a real pattern.
