Burnout Guaranteed, Support Optional.
Pros
The roof keeps you dry, and there’s coffee. You’ll gain plenty of experience doing other people’s jobs, especially when they leave and no one replaces them. It’s also great if you’re interested in pushing the limits of what you think burnout feels like.
Cons
Management is completely out of touch with reality. They have no clue how to treat employees or how to run a business in 2025. There’s no real support, and you’re basically expected to just “deal with it.” Work-life balance is non-existent, and the salaries are insulting compared to the market. There are no real career opportunities unless you count inheriting someone else’s unfinished work after they quit. There’s no strategy, no leadership, and certainly no recognition for hard work. If you’re competent, you’re punished with more responsibilities, not promotions. And if you raise concerns? Prepare to be ignored or gaslighted. It honestly feels like you’d need a prophet, not a manager, to fix this place.
