Demanding, Disrespectful, and Dysfunctional - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) Tertiary Infotech

None worth mentioning at all.

Extremely micromanaged environment with little trust in employees to carry out tasks independently. Frequent calls and messages outside of working hours, including late at night. Even on designated off days, staff are still expected to respond or physically return. No respect for medical leave — employees are contacted and expected to reply or continue working even when on MC. Entire operations are run almost entirely by interns, with no full-time technical staff to provide guidance or oversight. Severe lack of technical support — you're expected to "figure it out" on your own, without resources, documentation, or mentoring. Unrealistic deadlines are imposed by leadership with little regard for actual workload or feasibility, often paired with coercive pressure to meet them “no matter what.” HR has little to no authority; leadership routinely overrides decisions, making the process ineffective in protecting staff interests. Morale is consistently low. Many interns feel the same way but are afraid to speak up due to fear of repercussions. Leadership style is rigid and control-focused, with minimal interest in personal development, guidance, or long-term sustainability. The environment prioritizes output above all else, with little regard for learning, growth, or skill development.

None. There is not a single nice thing about this company.

No technical leadership or system architects available to guide implementation decisions. Tasks are assigned directly by the company’s founder, who lacks a technical background, leading to impractical or unfeasible assignments. Often given technically unfeasible tasks, and when concerns are raised, overtime is enforced and interns are unfairly compared to previous ones. Proposed workarounds or solutions are often dismissed without discussion. Leadership style can be micromanaging and reactive, contributing to a stressful and unsupportive work culture. Communication is challenging due to frequent interruptions and a lack of openness to feedback. Workspace arrangements are not ideal—employees often need to move around to find a suitable place to work. Off-days are sometimes rescheduled or cancelled without prior notice, making it difficult to plan personal time. HR does not appear to operate independently and often defers to leadership decisions, which does not consider employee well-being. Sick leave is not given—Interns will be required to "make up for" medical absences by giving up a future off-day.
