Great learning experience but extremely poor work-life balance
Pros
There’s a lot to learn here. As a Product Manager, you're given full ownership of a product and the freedom to drive its growth. The role pushes you to take initiative and solve real business problems. No one constantly monitors or interferes with your work, which helps build confidence and accountability. If you’re self-motivated, you’ll grow fast.
Cons
The work culture is intense and often feels unsustainable. There is no flexibility for remote work, and you're expected to be in the office on time every single day. Even after leaving for the day, work often continues at home, with an unspoken expectation to stay available and respond quickly. This lack of boundaries makes it difficult to maintain a personal life. What adds to the pressure is the use of WhatsApp for work communication instead of professional tools like Slack. You're always reachable, and there is a strong focus on things like being at your desk and replying immediately, even outside working hours. At times, these expectations seem more important than the actual quality of work, which can become mentally exhausting over time.
