no growth, super stress and burn out The good thingsThe good thing you'll and your colleagues grow unnaturally close, not through collaboration but through a shared, unspoken hatred for the same toxic management and soul crushing workload. You don’t work together you survive together like inmates who’ve learned to read the guards micro-expressions to predict the next outburst. Your mental state doesn’t improve. It’s forged. Congratulations you’ve been enrolled in a deranged mental boot camp—no opt out, no safety briefing where every day unlocks a more hardcore roadmap straight into psychological hell. Stress and burn out is the air you breathe. The workload is infinite, abstract, and somehow always your fault. Management explodes on schedule and off script, twisting reality through manipulation and gaslighting, then calmly rebranding the damage as “growth” and “part of the process.” By the end, you’re not just surviving the job you’re enduring a full-scale mental endurance trial.
The challengesno real growth here. The environment is built on super-legacy systems and prehistoric tools, and management focuses on preserving them rather than improving anything. Instead of developing modern, transferable skills, you spend most of your time keeping outdated technology alive.
Work–life balance does not exist in practice. Working outside office hours is normal. Expectations spill into evenings and weekends, and the workload is consistently overwhelming, with little regard for sustainability or personal boundaries.
A significant investment of time is expected in their technology stack, but it rarely pays off. The tools are outdated, the skills are not transferable, and much of the effort becomes a long-term waste of time and energy.
Before committing, strongly review your contract before signing any of their contracts. Question everything. I genuinely recommend having all contracts reviewed by a lawyer to fully understand your rights.
