- Good team and responsible professional - Remote work

Screen recording Chaotic management and task setting Lack of benefits Dubious performance evaluation

• Talented and friendly colleagues. • Opportunity to work across multiple projects and products if you show initiative. • Fully remote setup with some flexibility in working hours.

• Management is heavily centralized. The CEO is involved in every process and practices micromanagement. Most decisions are made subjectively and emotionally, without data, research, or user feedback. • No clear structure or career progression. Promotions and role reviews do not happen, and individual contributions are rarely recognized. • Design is part of the marketing department and is seen as “visual decoration” rather than a discipline for solving user problems. Designers are excluded from product strategy and decision-making. • Task flow is chaotic — assignments can come from any product manager at any time, with no clear prioritization or process. • A productivity tracking tool is used: it takes screenshots, monitors mouse movement, active apps, and window activity. • Although remote work is based on a B2B contract, working conditions resemble full-time employment without the benefits: • No paid vacation. • No sick leave or personal days. • No national holidays are observed — work continues year-round. • No health insurance. • No reimbursement or support for work equipment. • A one-month salary is paid at the end of the contract, possibly as compensation for unused time off.
