Pros

1. Exposure to a Wide Range of Projects and Technologies Provided valuable hands-on experience across different projects and technical areas. 2.Convenient Office Location The workplace was easily accessible and well-situated. 3.Flexible Hybrid Work Environment Offered a good balance between in-office and remote work, supporting work–life flexibility

Cons

1. Poor Career Development As a graduate engineer, I was excluded from the majority of career development activities and training opportunities. I was only involved at the final stages to provide feedback, which restricted my ability to build internal networks, set meaningful objectives, and establish a strong foundation at the start of my career. 2. Micromanagement and Unreasonable Workload I was frequently overworked and assigned an excessive number of tasks across multiple projects, making it unrealistic to complete them to the expected standard. Despite the effort invested, my contributions were neither acknowledged nor appreciated, which impacted both morale and productivity. 3. Toxic Culture and Internal Politics The team environment was affected by internal conflict, a competitive and cut-throat culture, and a lack of collaboration. Management demonstrated clear favouritism, which further undermined trust, fairness, and the ability to work effectively as a team.

Pros

Great learning curve, but no place for a career.

Cons

Its like working for a cult. The ego of the place is utterly revolting, the culture is one of bullying. For an engineering firm it lacks business innovation, and its salarys are appauling.
