Pros

The founder and most of the employees are amazing. Great product.

Cons

Growing too quickly so very unorganized. No communication between management and employees. They fired me for ridiculous reasons that I could have improved if they had mentioned it to me before. It's a blame game between every departments so the atmosphere isn't the best. Some of the newest management are trying to take over the company so it creates some power struggles within.

Pros

The few colleagues who are still left and the salary paid on time at the end of every month.

Cons

A toxic work environment led by a disrespectful and unpleasant CEO. The company feels completely unstable, with zero empathy toward employees. Managers appear cynical and more concerned with staying close to senior leadership than genuinely supporting their teams. There have been mass layoffs and a forced return to full on site work after an effective three days a week remote model that was arguably the only positive aspect for employees. The offices are located in a remote and non central area. There is excessive and often ridiculous control over daily work, and people are dismissed even when their performance is strong.

Pros

Exoticca offers a great colleague environment with supportive and friendly coworkers who make day-to-day work enjoyable. The offices are modern and comfortable, providing an excellent workspace.

Cons

Management can be inconsistent. There is frequent changing of direction, which can create confusion and make long-term planning difficult. Leadership can feel distant or cold at times, and clearer communication would help create more stability.
