Ghosted By The Company - UX-UI Designer Popshap Employee Review

CEO travels a lot and is rarely in the office physically

Horrible pay, horrible management, horrible work life balance, boss is a racist & misogynistic.

Remote work is the only pro I can think of.

I had a disappointing experience with this company. The hiring process was challenging, and there were instances where communication was lacking, requiring me to reach out to the CEO through various means like email and LinkedIn to get a response. Additionally, the initial offer was 20% less than what I had discussed during interviews, and the promised pay bump after 90 days turned out to be a pay restriction for the first 90 days. Onboarding was a struggle as well, and it felt like there wasn't sufficient support provided. Employees were required to use their personal machines and remain logged into Google Meet throughout the entire workday (from 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM EST), with the expectation of responding promptly to all communications. As a developer, I faced unrealistic deadlines that made it challenging to deliver high-quality work. For instance, I was asked to build an entire custom e-commerce website in just two weeks with no assistance. This put immense pressure on me, impacting both the quality of the project and my overall well-being. Considering my experience, I would advise potential candidates to carefully evaluate whether this company aligns with their career goals and work preferences. While the option for remote work might sound appealing, it came with a sense of constant monitoring and excessive scrutiny. I hope the company takes these points into account and works towards creating a more supportive and conducive work environment for its employees.
