Pros

One of the best things about working here is the camaraderie across the development teams, including design team and producers. There's a strong sense of teamwork, and everyone is always willing to lend a hand or offer support when needed. The collaboration across departments makes for a great working experience. On top of that, the work-from-anywhere policy and flexible hours are fantastic perks.

Cons

While the company offers great opportunities and benefits, the leadership, particularly the senior management, severely impacts team morale. Instead of using feedback from the US office as an opportunity to improve or motivate her team, she often uses it to criticize and belittle them. Rather than uplifting or supporting her staff, she tends to foster a negative atmosphere. Additionally, she has little respect for people's time, often ignoring the boundaries of work hours, and her responses are often delayed, causing unnecessary bottlenecks and frustration. This has created a toxic environment where employees feel undervalued and overworked, instead of supported and motivated.

Pros

Consistent workload, interesting projects, direct team was great and I enjoyed our rapport. Got great experience with big brands.

Cons

Senior management literally had group chats to talk about which employees they hated, and would laugh about firing people. Would get screamed at over text or phone if one of us tried to leave at a normal time, even if directly told we were able to leave at the end of the workday. "Flexible unlimited pto" but shamed for taking it, often penalized. Overtime was expected and not well compensated, they would rarely sometimes offer to buy us takeout but very rarely.
