Pros

Employees are talented and great at what they do

Cons

Working at Databox was disappointing due to how far reality strays from what the company presents on its website. Everyone here is technically self‑employed, which allows the company to avoid paying the benefits that should legally be provided to employees. Recently, they terminated around 30 of us without offering any severance, showing a complete lack of responsibility or care for their workforce. The workload is consistently unreasonable, with people expected to stretch themselves far beyond healthy limits. The promises of work‑life balance and flexibility promoted online are nothing more than marketing slogans — in practice, you’re left overworked
