People with toxic personalities in a company with poor management

Quality assurance

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It seems that none of the social media platforms have jobs available, so this is the only company currently hiring.

Cons

One of the worst companies I've ever worked for hired unprofessional employees who made professional employees struggle with them, in addition to poor management and of course a toxic environment caused by a leak of professionalism. This company is a joke no clear guidelines either policies . no workers rights no mind to comprehend the logic around every one want to be near team lead to get bounce no respect for privacy or personal opinions mandatory to work 3 days from awful office

Worst Place I Have Ever Worked

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A few decent people, but most leave after a few months when they realize how disorganized the company is

Cons

Zero structure. The company is extremely disorganized, and unless you are leadership you have no voice or place in the company. There is also no room for career growth due to lack of mentorship or other opportunities. HR is useless and does not care about the employees at all - avoid this company at all costs you can work somewhere else for the same or better pay with way less stress or issues. This is the most toxic company I have ever worked at and want to warn anyone I can to run as far away as possible.

Beware! Culture and Expectations dramatically worsened

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to meet smart individuals Opportunities to learn quickly, though all platforms and software is proprietary so can hurt you when looking elsewhere Roles are pretty independent in regards to day to day work, which I see as a pro

Cons

Executive team looks out for the company over people, and does not care about how to make the WLB and culture better. Compensation is well below amount of work, and lots of empty promises with Performance Reviews (the cycle is rigged) HR is unethical, constantly covering up for shady happenings and always on the defense of Bytedance
