Pros

Being able to take care of my parents while working from home

Cons

1. Last 2023, they said they will set the Oraz entity to ensure that all staff are protected and enjoys all employee benefits. They promised that if we sign up, they will gross up our salary. - LIE 2. On the new employee contract, they included the 10 days unused leave convertible to cash. They even used this as a strategy and included it on the annual calculation of salary. Just to show that there is ‘minimal’ difference on pay. LIE!!! When it was time to convert, management forced people to use the leave so nothing to convert 3. Few months back, they removed the 10 days unused leave conversion clause from our contract. But they presented the buyout as a bonus. LIE!!! Not only did they trick employees of not being able to have this benefit in the succeeding years, the bonus was also taxable whereas if it had been given to us as normal, it would have been otherwise. 4. One of the c-suite leaders is basing the promotions based on who she likes. Not based on performance but based on who says yes to her all the time 5. Our Ops leaders (exec) always shame people in public even including my line manager 6. I gave a suggestion once and it all backfired. So Athena stating it is a safe place is a complete LIE!

Pros

Pay was good, simple and fast sale, Tons of inbound. Too good to be true…

Cons

Little training or organization. As a new hire was able to do really well in a short period of time but was part of mass lay off 6 days before Christmas. Layoff was handled terribly. Still waiting to get reimbursed for shipping cost for returning company equipment. I regret applying here and it really screwed up my life. The leadership is both incompetent and cruel.
