Pros

• Only the coworkers made the experience somewhat bearable. • You might learn a few things on your own, but not because of the company’s support.

Cons

• HR and management made multiple promises about RSUs and salary during hiring — none were honored. • Salaries are lower than what was offered, and there’s no transparency about the deductions or delays. • The environment is filled with too much cultural politics — favoritism and bias are common, and genuine work often goes unrecognized. • Rude and unprofessional behavior from managers has become the norm. • Constant false assurances and last-minute changes in policy make it impossible to trust the leadership. • Overall, it’s a toxic place that drains motivation and respect.

Pros

Great culture, supportive team environment, acceptable salary

Cons

VIP Account Management is meant to be an entry-level position (which does pay well), but can get very mundane and role tasks are repetitive; no major variety, or additional responsibilities
