It’s a Trap - Anonymous employee Italic Employee Review

-CEO has no boundaries. It feels like he barely works throughout the week and did all of his tasks during the weekend. This meant constant pinging during the morning, day and night on Saturdays and Sundays. -The creative team is interesting. A few awesome people but there are two psycho women who meddle in everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) and they’re praised for it. You know it’s a bigger issue when multiple people across departments echo the same concern but nothing is done to fix it. -You’re given the choice to have stock in the company but it’s not even public so don’t waste your time on something literally valueless. -Random cuts happen here and there. Some times it’s one person, sometimes a group of people. All the time it’s because of “performance” and never because of the obvious: CEO is cheap and tries to cut costs where he thinks he can. Ultimately, your job is never safe. -A LOT of outsourced, low-paying roles to people in Asia and other countries where one would assume the cost of employing these professionals is a lot lower than what it would cost in the U.S.. It’s not a con but definitely something to keep an eye on. Most of these people work their butts off and you can’t help but wonder if the CEO is even paying them well
