Cons
Books can be written on the cons of this place but I’ll try to keep it short. - The most stressful job I ever had, and I've been in the industry for over a decade. They have the smallest mobile app I've ever seen, yet they are incapable of properly managing it. Understaffed? Absolutely not! They have so many designers, developers, and PMs, so what could it be you might ask, it is how mismanaged this place is. They have no clue how to run a department or a team. The most unorganized place ever. - Very unrealistic expectations from one's role, where everything is just dumped on people with the expectation of delivering a 10/10 perfect product. I was lied to during the interview in terms of role and responsibilities. After enduring a year in this place, I feel I lost my appetite for my field, and I have been considering changing my field entirely. Rest assured, I am not the only one as I came across other individuals in this company who also considered changing their field after this company took away their appetite. - You will be exhausted from interviewing candidates, because the turnover rate is mindblowing. Almost no one stays at this company for more than a year. As a result, they are constantly hiring to fill open roles. I have never seen so many open roles. It's almost impossible to fill them because the moment they fill one, another opens. - Each year you will be getting a whopping increment of 3.5% which is below inflation rates. Your boss will even tell you how lucky you are to receive this "very competitive" increment. - Everyone at this company is in a lead position. To the point that it becomes meaningless, does the management even know the meaning of a lead position? - While there are some talented individuals in the company, I was unfortunate to work and collaborate with individuals who have no clue how to do things, and it was very hard working with them, not to mention how closed-minded some people were, and many had a big ego. - It's truly sad to see talented individuals from big companies like Meta, Twitter, and Whatsapp decide to join this mess of a company. They must have run out of options due to mass lay-offs which have been taking place over the past years. - Expect to work two 8 hours shifts, the first 8 hours dedicated to Slack and meetings, and the second 8 hours shift dedicated to doing your actual tasks. You will continue to receive Slack messages and emails until midnight. Whatever your role is, it really feels like a 24/7 customer service role. - Tons of design, projects, and program reviews weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly. The management has no trust in employees whatsoever, and the only way they can feel better about themselves and to ensure everyone is squeezed to the max working on 5 different projects at the same time, is by creating all these reviews and inviting everyone to them.
