I personally found the management and especially Alex toxic. I felt that I was constantly micromanaged and checked in on every 20-30min for a 4hour task to not to ask “hey how’s it going” but “why is this taking so long”.
This is a great business tactic because you get workers to feel the same pressure they would at an exam so they stay laser focused at 120% effort, then you replace them once they burn out.
It seemed like I had to alert management when I stepped away from the keyboard or took my hand off the mouse.
During the interview I felt a very bad vibe but needed a job so ignored my gut feeling. Nothing on Glassdoor helped because i found the 1 review here inaccurate. (their other company Thrinacia also is the same)
Lastly, I felt lowballed given far below market average and told “so because we haven’t worked with you yet we’ll give you a probationary salary and after X months we’ll re-negotiate back to market average”.
Another brilliant business strategy because this allows a company to pay you much less while they’re burning you out.
You have been warned.
