[10] THE BURN WARD (UNFILTERED COMPLAINTS)
* The stark reality of the role, scraped from Reddit, Blind, and anonymous career boards.
"I hate corporatism and having to submit to some corporate higher ups, to work for the benefit of large corporations as opposed to helping their employees (many of whom are hardworking yet end up being exploited by their bosses, and are shackled by their jobs)."
"Now, they're still aligned with the management of those organizations as u/redsolitary expressed (and they certainly aren't getting paid as well as the folks working for the investment banks or Facebook/Metas of the world), but the org's mission is a lot more palatable."
