Pros

They provide laptop. That's all.

Cons

If you’re looking up on the Internet about this company, you should feel very lucky that you found these reviews. And if you really want to know more about this very superficial company, keep reading. You will thank us later. Firstly, they’re gonna invite you for a trial week, which is by the way, a very bad training scheme. You will be basically taught for a week haphazardly then will get tossed on a project. “Fed to the sharks” would be an apt phrase for it. They will throw you in at the deep end and give you lots of responsibility early on. They would just expect you to know everything in a week, which by the way is very impossible because you will have to learn a lot of tools, and by a lot, I mean a WHOLE LOT. And then your team leader would flip out when you make a simple mistake. They will question your thought process and gaslight you because you can’t do the job right. They will tell you to “work smart not hard,” but with the nature of the work it is impossible to not work outside work hours unless you want to risk failing and have everything fall on you. Secondly, they will force you to come to the office and yet it's up to you how to get there. Doesn't matter if you spend how much on your Grab everyday for one-way, you just get to the office. Some of the senior employees constantly talk about how “it was so much harder before” and don’t like acknowledging that many people are not like them (rich and spoiled brats), but they dismiss this and say that the company is not just for these people instead of looking at what they can improve for better employee retention. Thirdly, some of these coworkers berate you without consideration of your lack of experience with the whole process and tasks, then later go on with being “friendly” as if they had done nothing wrong. And by the way, most of them are very conyo and fake. It’s like working with a bunch of privileged High School Kids from conyo Universities. Client directors would try to motivate you by giving shoutouts in the hangouts group chat whenever your events are done. But throughout the process of the project, these CD’s are not very kind and approachable. Fourth, their Team Leaders are predominantly very young, they don’t know how to handle their newbies. Very inexperienced and emotionally detached. Every resignation is taken personally and there’s absolutely no way you can leave without them saying something bad about you. They even talk badly about people who have already parted with the company. With that said, there’s also no proper onboarding and offboarding process for employees. And it’s not a surprise that they have a high employee turnover rate. The employees work long hours, have terrible work shifts, give their all, but end up being undervalued. They aren't even compensated fairly. Nearly everyone I worked with was burnt out every other week. And the job tasks do not add much value to the career. Join Ortus if you want to learn how to do phone calls or write emails. If you want to do more than that, look elsewhere. Lastly, they ask their content team to create fake positive reviews here on Glassdoor. So don’t believe what these bots are saying in this review section. You’re Welcome! Now Run.

Pros

1) Exposure to fast-paced work and multiple responsibilities 2) Some capable and hardworking team members

Cons

1) Perception of favoritism, with closer relationships to leadership influencing growth opportunities (Justin being Top Gun despite never being helpful in Scrums) 2) Inconsistent project allocation by some team leads, with employees assigned to multiple projects across vastly different time zones and having unrealistic expectations to maintain high performance simultaneously across conflicting schedules and working hours 3) High turnover, particularly in marketing, suggesting deeper structural and cultural issues 4) Leadership places disproportionate emphasis on image and “branding” over actual output and impact. There are instances where employees are asked to adjust their professional presence based on aesthetic preferences. (might be rooted on racism. I remember being in a call with some employees being asked to remove Ortus from their profile despite being employed simply because it didnt fit Jess’ standards)
