Pros

You’ll gain an impressive level of resilience. Think of it as corporate bootcamp—minus the leadership, vision, or purpose.

Cons

Where do I begin? If you’re passionate about being gaslit, micromanaged, and talked down to by leadership, congratulations—you’ve found your paradise. Smaato (Verve) offers a front-row seat to toxic management at its finest, where upper leadership thrives on cutting people down instead of building them up. Direction changes with the wind (or maybe just with leadership’s mood swings), and employees are expected to navigate the chaos without a map—or even a compass. Transparency? Only if you count being told one thing and watching the complete opposite unfold behind closed doors. And let’s not forget the business practices. If you enjoy working somewhere that plays fast and loose with ethics, you’ll feel right at home. “Trust” and “stability” are just words tossed around in all-hands meetings to kill time between layoffs.
