Pros

Fast-paced, challenging work Free clothes and products Co-workers were genuinely great people The products are good

Cons

CEO was overbearing, extremely critical, and thought he was always right. He would ask for suggestions and input from the team, then do whatever he wanted to anyways. Then, if it didn't work the way he planned, we would have a long meeting to discuss how to do better the next time?? Eventually we just stopped giving input. He also always talked about the "mission" and "community" but it's so cringe because he is literally one of the least asian people I know. The campaigns and marketing would feel so fake and forced because he doesn't genuinely know much about the various asian cultures he profits off of. It made me feel very slimy. Lastly, expectations are very high here (which is fine), but we were not given the proper support nor tools, making work very emotionally draining and generally exhausting.

Pros

I was honestly surprised to see some of the negative reviews here, because they didn’t reflect my experience at Boba Tea Protein at all. If those challenges were true at one point, it’s very clear the company has made major improvements since then. From my time working here, the team felt supportive, collaborative, and genuinely invested in building something special. Leadership was open to feedback, communication was clear, and there was a strong sense of momentum and growth. I felt trusted in my role and encouraged to contribute ideas, which made the work both motivating and rewarding. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would absolutely recommend Boba Tea Protein to anyone looking to work with a driven team that’s evolving in the right direction.

Cons

Like any growing company, things can move fast so be prepared to wear multiple hats.

Pros

The best part of working here was definitely the people. My coworkers were kind, supportive, and always willing to help. They really kept me going. There were also some nice perks like free lunches, a gym membership, and boba tea products every now and then.

Cons

I joined this company with excitement, but it quickly turned into one of the most emotionally exhausting experiences of my career. The work environment is highly toxic, with constant turnover that reflects deeper issues in management and culture. I often felt undervalued, manipulated, and pushed beyond reasonable limits like my well being didn’t matter, only the output I could deliver. Despite giving my best, I was regularly gaslighted and made to feel inadequate. The lack of genuine support, transparency, and basic respect left me overwhelmed and, eventually, in therapy. There’s also a clear pattern of favoritism and exclusion that creates a stressful and unhealthy dynamic among the team. If you’re someone who values mutual respect, psychological safety, and sustainable growth, I’d strongly caution against working here. This environment took a serious toll on my mental health, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
