Pros

nice aircon in the office

Cons

Unlimited — say good bye to your mental health. Consider joining this company if you’re interested in testing the limits of burnout. The environment can be extremely challenging, shaped by a culture where dismissiveness and condescension are not uncommon. Work regularly extends well past official hours — sometimes until 9 PM or later — without any additional leave or compensation. Job roles here often shift without warning or clarity. Employees have found themselves hired for one specialty but assigned completely different responsibilities. For example, someone brought in for a videographer role might suddenly be tasked with account management. Similarly, teams assigned to one industry vertical may unexpectedly be shifted to handle unrelated accounts. Respect in communication is inconsistent. Employees have reported being referred to in overly casual or demeaning terms like being called “girl”, which raises questions about the underlying culture and values. While the company promotes openness and flexibility, the reality doesn’t always reflect that. Requests for deadline extensions may be met with dismissive remarks rather than support. Employees expressing concerns about unmanageable workloads are sometimes labeled as lacking initiative or unwilling to adapt. Professionalism can be hit-or-miss. There have been instances of employees receiving critical feedback in inappropriate settings, including in front of clients—behavior that undermines morale and trust. Communication tends to be top-down. Employees are expected to be transparent and responsive, but the same isn’t always practiced by the C level executives. While peer relationships and team camaraderie provided some support, that was often the only buffer in an otherwise difficult workplace dynamic. If you’ve ever wondered what working in a corporate melodrama might feel like, this could be your moment.

Jason makes a fair leader.

Cons

Your work is enjoyable depending on whether Claira likes you. She gave me (and other colleagues) PTSD.
