This is your typical power fantasy adventure anime, except it's not. I'm surprised that seemingly no reviews and forum discussions mention what this anime is really about.

As you can see, I marked all aspects of the show as slightly higher than mediocre. Because, frankly, they are. But the overall is higher, because the show definitely has an interesting gimmick (and it's not "we are the bad guys" as you may have thought from the synopsis).

This anime is not about a hero or a demon lord defeating armies, fighting and bonding dramatically.

This is a guide for surviving in a company. Your typical 9 to 5 job, ... be it a small startup or a big corpo.
A tutorial on the basics of teamworking, task management, interviewing, being a team leader etc.
Fantasy is just a cosmetics to make it less apparent.
Just replace a castle with a building of concrete, steel and glass, charging magical artifacts — with writing daily sales report, a general yelling at his troops for not being able to defeat an S-grade monster — with a veteran accountant scolding new hires for not knowing every tax law and loophole; and the main point of this show becames obvious.

Personally, I think this is a good thing. We need shows like this that not only tell their story but also prepare younger viewers for the real world through the "play". That teaches not some abstract concepts like friendship, courage and "not giving up" but actually gives advices that you can use in your daily life.
