High-Pressure Sales Culture, toxic leadership, and No Career Growth - Anonymous employee IvyMax Employee Review

Very friendly colleagues so the working environment is good. Working hour is 12-8pm, which fits my habit. Company also provides complimentary lunch during weekends.

Sales quotas are a little bit stressful, but you can learn a lot of sales techniques. The average salary might be a little bit low in Bay Area

Honestly, there were virtually no meaningful positives beyond gaining minimal exposure to administrative tasks.

The role was misleading from the start—despite being hired as an administrative assistant, the work was heavily sales-driven. Management lacked professionalism and frequently took over or reassigned my clients, undermining both performance and morale. The company consistently made promises regarding growth and support that were never fulfilled. The work environment was extremely high-pressure, with unrealistic expectations, no overtime compensation, and little regard for employee well-being. Overall, a highly toxic and unsupportive workplace.
