Pros

Remote work, flexible schedule, pretty good pay. NOT worth the stress.

Cons

Not paying anyone on time or at all. Contract ending abruptly No HR department No benefits Have to use personal equipment & they do not compensate for internet usage. I was really excited to work for this cutting edge social media app. Went in with a really good attitude. That quickly faded when I was not getting my compensation as stated in my contract. I was to be compensated weekly. I did not get paid for 3 weeks in the beginning and it was stressful. Everyone on my team got their contracts abruptly cut 4 months in (which can be expected and isn’t the issue) the issue is I am getting silence when asking about my pending payments. I am owed another 3 weeks of pay and no one is responding to my emails. 😢

Great Team, Horrible Leadership

Pros

I was lucky enough to work with great people during my time at Octi – we had a very talented, passionate team.

Cons

High-level leadership held unrealistic expectations from the team, lacked the skills to communicate effectively with their employees, and did not respect boundaries. Input from the team about product development was disregarded, as they attempted to impress investors but failed to set the product in a clear direction. Team was expected to work long hours, which included staying at the office well into the night, working on holidays that were supposed to be observed, and working through the weekends. By the time I left the company, team morale felt extremely low (employees were leaving every other week/management began to fire people out of the blue) and many people felt undervalued, despite putting so much time and energy into their work.
