Avantages
Salary is paid in foreign currency, but that’s where the positives end. The pay is noticeably uncompetitive, and to make matters worse, there’s zero confidentiality, your exact salary becomes common knowledge the moment you join.
Inconvénients
1. No Real Training or Onboarding * There is zero proper training. * New hires are thrown directly into chaotic projects with no guidance. * Everyone on the team is forced to learn through stress, mistakes, and panic. 2. Extreme, Inhumane Work Hours * Expect to work from 6:30 AM until 11 PM or later—every single day. * Breaks are nonexistent; even stepping away for a meal is treated as an inconvenience. * This isn’t a rare case; the entire team is pushed to operate like this, and it’s considered normal. 3. Weekends and Holidays Don’t Exist * Saturdays and Sundays are filled with “urgent” messages:“Can you test this?”, “Just a small task.” * Sri Lankan holidays are ignored. * UK holidays aren’t given either—because “you’re at home anyway.” * Your time is never respected. 4. Toxic Leadership Culture * Leadership encourages hostility and normalizes burnout. * Fear-based management is openly practiced and justified as “standards” and “urgency.” 5. COO’s Unprofessional Behaviour * The COO frequently yells at employees during calls. * Public humiliation and aggressive communication are routine. * Creates a constant atmosphere of anxiety and fear. 6. CEO’s incoherent rants, Unproductive “Training” * CEO conducts “training sessions” that are long, unfocused, and offer no real value. * These sessions often devolve into incoherent rants about AI. * Hours of productivity are wasted while employees gain nothing useful. 7. No Employee Safety or Wellbeing * There are no protections for employee mental, emotional, or physical well-being. * Complaints are dismissed as “lack of commitment.” * The environment prioritizes output over basic human limits. 8. Clients Are Unhappy * Clients regularly express frustration with project delays, poor planning, and high turnover. * Internal dysfunction spills directly into client-facing issues, increasing pressure on the already overworked team. 9. Efficiency Gets You Punished * Completing your work faster only results in being tossed into another failing project. * Productivity is exploited, not appreciated. 10. No Recognition, No Rewards, No Growth * Hard work goes unnoticed. * Promotions are rare and inconsistent. * Progress depends more on favoritism than merit. 11. Unhelpful and Dismissive HR * The HR is unhelpful and dismissive. * Any concerns you raise, whether about workload, unfair treatment, or toxic team dynamics, are brushed aside or met with canned responses. * Instead of supporting employees, HR functions more like a shield for management, making it clear that your well-being is not a priority.
