Cons

High workload & poor work–life balance: A common complaint is long hours, especially during deadlines; 12–13 hour days or weekend work aren’t uncommon Layered bureaucracy & slow promotions: Some report hierarchical processes, “dirty work” (e.g., compliance tasks), limited merit-based promotions, and unclear long-term career paths . Inconsistent management & internal politics: Complaints include ineffective senior management, unfair evaluations, and frequent structural changes obstructing growth High turnover & mentorship gaps: Rapid onboarding of fresh grads leads to high turnover, reducing availability of experienced mentors Variable experience across teams: Employee satisfaction often depends on the specific team—some have better work distribution, compensation, or learning opportunities than others
