Monitoring employees

So, this company I have an offer from seems great culture wise. I asked some members for red flags and they said its a software they use that tracks them for 8 hours and takes screenshots every 10 minutes. I have no experience working in companies with this implementation earlier. Can anyone shed some light on whether this may be a deal breaker or not? Heard mix responses from current employees that it’s hard to clock 40-42 hours a week and takes away our personal freedom. What are the thoughts?

Lack of trust. Shows how much they trust their own recruitment process. Run as fast as you can

It looks like a trust issue, run away, software dev is not like brick laying, you must have solved the problem in high school, it takes 10 people 10 days to construct a brick wall in 5 days, how many people are needed to do it in 3 days...sw does not work like that, as the mythical man month gave the reasons 50 years ago,
