      The Small Studio with Huge Problems

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Competitive total salary for early-career professionals - Additional allowance for renting near the office - Free food and coffee in the office - Flexibility in working from home when needed - Talented people who drive growth in respective roles

      Cons

      TLDR: Biased management and poor leadership makes this a toxic workplace. It took me some time to realize this and outgrow the company. If possible, apply somewhere else. - Low base salary - Minimal salary increase - Nonexistent performance review system - "Flat hierarchy" but it's actually leaning towards dictatorship - Software engineers are favored, while all other roles are less valued and usually mistreated - CEO micromanages and manipulates employees, never admits mistakes and blames other people instead - Admin and tenured employees tolerate CEO's wrongdoings - CEO claims to listen to employees but treats valid criticism as personal attack, unfairly subjecting employees to administrative actions - Policies change easily and mostly without proper documentation and announcement - Admin snitches on employees to the CEO, making even harmless remarks be treated like offenses - CEO is AI-crazy — favors AI-generated articles over those created by actual writers, pushes artists to produce assets with AI, downplays the environmental effects of generative AI, and many more - Long meetings, sometimes unnecessary, are the norm - Employees are given the illusion of choice, yet the CEO makes the final product decisions regardless of logic - CEO communicates unprofessionally — sending passive-aggressive and long-winding messages, messaging people on holidays and weekends, and policing people on sending private messages when she does it herself - CEO overpromises to clients, leading to heavy expectations shouldered by employees - Serious management issues are met with band-aid fixes rather than sustainable solutions that address the root causes - Promotions are granted based on tenure, preventing high-performing employees with less tenure from achieving leadership roles

      Talented engineers but poor management

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Most of the engineers are talented. I learned a lot from them. - Most of the employees are kind and friendly. - Friendships I made with some employees lasted even after I left. - Pay is good compared to local companies. It's also high if you're a junior engineer. - There are a lot of company activities and workcations.

      Cons

      - This is not a meritocracy. Management favors the engineers who have been in the company the longest. - It also recognizes people who have good verbal communication skills. Even if you code well and submit with minimal bugs, the CEO will only notice you if you're a good reporter. This can be a pro for people who are good conversationalists though. - The CEO is a micromanager. - The CEO always blames and scolds people who are not from the engineering department. - The meetings will take hours. They will go past the cut-off time but no one will say anything about it. - Mental health leaves are recognized on paper. But management will tell you to just walk more. Management is generally like this in all aspects of work - inconsistent, two-faced, and unable to take accountability. - Some engineers don't listen to reason. They will insist their way is the best even when presented with evidence that it's not. They are the founding engineers.

      Poor Management, High Stress

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Talented and supportive teammates (many of whom eventually leave) - Competitive salary (especially for Fresh Grads) - Hybrid setup - Unlimited Coffee

      Cons

      - Mentally exhausting environment with little regard for employee well-being - Leadership shows low empathy in how feedback and decisions are delivered - Employees are frequently put in high-pressure situations with unclear expectations, then blamed when outcomes fall short - Public call-outs and criticism happen, which can be humiliating and deeply discouraging - Constant micromanagement and lack of trust remove any sense of autonomy or psychological safety - Work is often discarded or redone based on shifting preferences, making effort feel undervalued - Long, unnecessary meetings and constant oversight leave little room to focus or recharge. - Culture leans toward fear and compliance rather than collaboration and growth.
