Pros

Good coworkers, free meals from client

Cons

Excessive micromanagement severely hinders productivity and morale. The KPI target is unrealistic for our complex tasks, which involve extensive research, creative prompt writing, and sourcing images from non-blocked sites. TLs and OMs seem to lack understanding of the intricacies and time requirements of our work. The ]QA process lacks transparency and we can’t dispute decisions even when we’re certain they’re incorrect and colleagues agree. Remote work and shift change requests are denied despite the independent nature of our tasks, showing a lack of flexibility and trust in employees. Communication issues abound, with off-topic meetings and demands for immediate responses during production time disrupting workflow. The rigid attendance policy, requiring calls for minor delays, adds unnecessary pressure to an already stressful environment. Work environment is noisy and distracting, with inflexible seating arrangements that ignore individual needs. Client-provided amenities like shuttle buses and cafeteria are often overcrowded. Overall, there’s a pervasive sense of distrust and low morale, with employees feeling undervalued and unable to grow professionally in their roles. The company’s resistance to implementing hybrid work options, despite industry trends, further demonstrates a lack of employee-centric policies.
