Kontras
- Toxic environment and employer
- In my short time there, i noticed that one of the founders (Samantha) uses fear to lead her team, practically treating her employees like slaves. For example, she starts shouting vulgarities at the team when she find the office messy. Her staffs also has to prepare a glass of water for her right before she arrives.
- OT culture and hours is very bad, don’t expect to go home on time. You will be pressured to work late hours or you will be labeled as someone with bad working attitude.
- Marketing team is also quite toxic, there are times where they will speak ill of or gossip about others freely.
- The onboarding and briefing for my job scope was also very lacking, probably about 5 minutes of verbal instructions before I’m expected to jump straight into my job.
- My role was a temp admin staff, but they treated me like a servant, passing things, buying food for them, fetching water. As it was my first office job, i thought it was normal. But now, i realised that it was just disrespectful.
- I had very bad anxiety in my few weeks working there and I have always blamed myself for not being better and doing my job well. Upon reflection, I believe it was the company and its toxic environment that has played a huge role in my disastrous experience there.
- It took me 4 years to write a this review, and decided to do this as I recently heard from someone who left their job there and had a similarly bad experience.
