Toxic yet great experience and good on your cv

Pros

Without a doubt the people are wonderful and the experience you gain is incredible. A relevant brand, innovative product and great on your cv. Hard working and market leading teams. Some really strong leaders and everyone cares about the success of the company.

Cons

It’s become toxic, no genuine interest in d&i, my manager is incompetent and gained a seat by being a master in politics, sells others work as their own and without the team wouldn’t have a clue what they’re doing - a real bully behind a smile and gets away with it. Questioning the status quo gets you beaten back in to line (metaphorically) - zero inclusion. Zero work life balance, it’s not a priority to the company and it’s questionable whether they care about your health, priorities are all focused on output. Huge anxiety even for high performers with the performance review process and increased admin.

Pros

Great name recognition and fast growth

Cons

When talking about mental health issues and work volume, my line manager told me to go get some fresh air and didn't even approve a PTO day. Extremely toxic middle managers. There is constant belittling in every meeting and very unreasonable timelines. I developed depression when working here and no one cared when I tried to talk about it. Lots of work on weekends and they don't allow you to take off many days. Missed a lot of important moments with family because company was too strict. Please avoid for your own health.

Pros

Big name, big brand, good place for learning if you do your own homework and carve off some time to utilise company learning materials. There are also great mentor programmes and lots of great professionals to learn from and be mentored by. You can progress in your career path is you show loyalty to company values and are willing to go above and beyond and do more than your job scope. Good bonuses, possibility of a raise upon good reviews. Exciting and fun company events.

Cons

Moderators are overworked, they have to work 3 weekends per month and they have no say in which workdays they will have off instead. They cannot fulfill child or other care duties while working 3 weekends per month, they have absolutely no time to be with their loved ones, which leads to burnout and mental health issues. Management makes little and hypocritical effort to help restore and maintain their mental health. Goals and KPIs are unclear, it feels like management keeps moderators intentionally in the dark, hoping they will work harder and faster if they don't know what to expect. Salaries are dependent on your native language thus the team you join and there's disgraceful discrimination between nationalities this way. Some nationalities earn more for the same job. Eastern Europeans e.g. tend to receive lower pay, even if their team performance is far better. All the while the management claims they are championing equality and diversity. Massive BS. I'm not even sure it is legal to discriminate in this way.
