My Weekend Plan Reviews

It’s been almost a year since I left this company, but the experience still lingers with me. and I don’t want others to walk in blind. The interview? Sweet and convincing. They promised everything. all the right things to get you to say yes. But once you step in, it’s a completely different story. None of those promises were real. Work-life balance? Doesn’t exist. You’ll be expected to submit a daily end of day report (every single day), which felt like extreme micromanagement. During office hours, you’re overloaded. After office hours? You’re still expected to work late into the night from home. It’s exhausting. The workload is insane. Everyone in the execution team ends up doing multiple roles. I’ve seen an intern working as a full blown content creator handling content execution, video shooting, editing, client servicing, and even strategy planning for multiple clients. How is that okay? Management? Two-faced. They may pretend to care, listening to your concerns and offering comforting words but don’t expect any real change. The next day, they’ll be back to pushing unrealistic demands and completely ignoring your workload. They don’t care about your capacity, only about results. Unrealistic KPIs with no real support. They say they’ll guide you to meet your KPIs, but even if you pour your heart and soul into the work, it’s never enough. You’ll always be made to feel like you’re falling short. If you value your mental health, time, and personal boundaries, this company is not for you. But if you’re curious or feel like testing your limits, feel free to give it a try just know, for me, it became the worst professional experience of my life.

Many cons. The marketing director doesn't know who they want to hire. Hired me as a senior graphic designer but actually looking for a manager to supervised his own team, ask me to take upon that role but it wasn't something we discussed about during the interview. Said was looking for someone who specialises in branding but doesn't know the difference between branding in marketing and branding in design. Everyone in the execution department does more than just 1 jobscope. Another designer is doing web design. 1 content creator do video editing, client servicing and strategy planning for so many clients. Does that make sense? Marketing director is very "my way or no other way" kind of person. He'll listen to you, take into consideration but then eventually everything goes back to the usual cycle. Text people after work, says urgent work but responds very late. 1 intern doing everything like his personal assistant. No work life balance at all. Have to do daily end of the day reporting which is super micromanaging. They focus too much on using ChatGPT and "AI Tools", literally brainrot company. No creative thinking at all for creative team. Promise a company laptop, but nothing was provided. First ever "agency" I work in where many people don't know what they're doing. Too reliant on ChatGPT and "AI Tools". KPI metrics unrealistic, just because that 1 person back then could do it doesn't mean it's the same for everyone. Zero appreciation to crafted. I don't recommend if you really value your craft, your work and your skills. Their solution? ChatGPT. Ideation? ChatGPT. Talk down/look down upon on my own ambitions saying that my career goals have no career progression after 2-3 years.
