The company culture was very disappointing. There is a lot of gossip and backstabbing, and genuine appreciation for people and their work is often lacking. There are also many “know-it-all” personalities, which can make collaboration difficult. On top of that, several managers tend to micromanage their teams, creating unnecessary stress and frustration.
A major issue is the amount of overtime that’s expected. I’ve heard concerning stories from the tech team in particular. Despite the heavy workload, the company is reluctant to pay fairly for the extra hours. Instead, they often hire people from lower-cost countries and then overwork them, which is both unsustainable and unfair.
My recruitment process should have been a red flag as well. It was poorly handled, the interviewer seemed extremely nervous, was quite cold, and the whole experience felt unprofessional. Looking back, I regret working here, as the environment ended up being more damaging than supportive.
