Pros

A few smart, resilient coworkers who have your back.

Cons

It's a very bad management culture. The founders clearly don’t know what they’re doing, but still expect to be worshipped like visionaries. People are fired constantly, often without reason or warning, which creates a culture of fear and silence. Management is robotic, cold, and completely disconnected, with some displaying downright abusive behavior masked as accountability. The workplace is filled with micromanaging and aggressive attitudes, making even simple tasks feel like walking on eggshells. Leadership loves long, pointless meetings that never lead to real outcomes, just more confusion and blame-shifting. There’s a revolving door of good people walking out, not because they can’t handle the work, but because they can’t survive the toxic leadership.

Pros

The branding looks nice, I'll give them that.

Cons

I still remember how excited I was when I got the offer. The way they talked about creativity, growth, and purpose made it sound like the dream job I'd been waiting for. But the moment I started, everything fell apart. Leadership couldn't stick to a single decision for more than a day, and I'd redo the same project three times because someone changed their vision. Feedback was vague, sometimes completely contradictory, and it left me feeling like I was chasing approval that never came. The people in charge acted like industry experts, but most of them had no idea what they were doing, and we were the ones cleaning up the mess. It got to a point where I'd dread checking my emails because it usually meant another reversal or blame game. They talk a big game about sustainability and values, but behind the scenes, it's all just clever marketing.
