Pros

there are no pros to join this company

Cons

1. Lack of Recognition: Despite consistent efforts and delivering quality work, recognition and appreciation for individual contributions are limited. 2. Internal Politics: The work environment is heavily influenced by internal politics, with management often prioritizing alignment with senior leadership over merit-based decisions. 3. Excessive Workload: Long working hours (often exceeding 14 hours a day) are the norm, and there is no provision for overtime compensation. 4. Weekend Work Expectations: Employees are frequently expected to work on weekends, and there is generally no compensatory time off provided in return. 5. Favoritism Concerns: Advancement or protection within the company may sometimes appear to be influenced more by personal relationships with management than by performance or professionalism. 6. Micromanagement Culture: There is a pervasive lack of trust in employees’ ability to manage their responsibilities, resulting in constant micromanagement. 7. Inconsistent Policies: Company policies are not applied uniformly, and exceptions are frequently made for certain individuals without clear justification. 8. Toxic Work Environment: The atmosphere can become demoralizing, with high turnover and low engagement due to poor leadership and lack of employee support. 9. Lack of Empathy from Leadership: Management often fails to show empathy or understanding during high-pressure situations, treating employees as resources rather than people. 10. Resistance to Feedback: Constructive feedback is often dismissed or ignored, making it difficult to bring about any meaningful change. 11. No Structured Onboarding or Training: New employees receive little to no guidance, making the ramp-up process unnecessarily difficult and confusing. 12. Arbitrary Decision-Making: Decisions regarding projects, promotions, or resource allocation are frequently made without clear reasoning or input from relevant teams.

Pros

Great office. Fun concept and good broadcasts.

Cons

They laid off like a third of the company over zoom. When I asked for why I was part of the layoffs and another person in the same role wasn’t, they said they just checked names off a list.
