Found that direction from leadership was often vague, and role definitions were unclear. This led to inefficiencies and a sense of uncertainty about priorities and responsibilities within the team/department. Experienced a toxic work environment characterized by significant internal complaints and a perceived lack of trust among colleagues and management. This often manifested as backchanneling rather than direct problem-solving. Noticed a clear pattern of favoritism from management, where certain individuals seemed to receive better opportunities or treatment regardless of performance.

Time consuming need to hit sales

HR and leader wont help staff, they serve the top only. Big boys club at the top. Pretend international, but act very local and control like a school. Work with people disrespectful. Criticism and think they are giving you feedback, but it won't do you any good beside distort you. Long hour and no private time, they expect to give you work ay 6pm and give them overnight, but without looking at the work immediately, no urgency but like to push everything with a tight timeline. Work on things not with a vision and leader focus on minor stuff, such as format, colour.... Horrible place.

Forced to take more than 80 hours OT per month, although it’s paid, we are not given a choice to reject nor reduce.

As tough as it gets for promotion and increments the higher you climb. Competitive is not the word, but don't expect to be fairly compensated for your hard work, its a dice roll. Being great at your job grants you the dice roll at the end of your review period, but there's a big chance you fail that roll, and there's nothing you could have done about it :(

Learn nothing, just for a part time job

Poor management, not enough support to staff

Head of Product and Director Head are friend that support each other decision. No one can say bad thing or comment on their works. Many in the team afraid to speak out to give feedbacks. No leadership skill, more like boss. Release ALive app v 3.0 , many stat down but no one looking at data. Why? Only care about present nice number to management. Spend money on MV and create mascots. But does not help with app or solve the user issue. On day that we're all in office sometime we have to wait to use toilet as not enough toilet stalls. The men don't have this issue.

No career progression, lack of backfilling roles
