toxic workplace where people are underpaid, and treated as disposable. - Project Manager Xsolla Employee Review

Pros

The only good thing about this company is the employees: hardworking, driven people who carry the entire operation on their backs. Their reliability is a testament to them, not the company. The organization doesn’t deserve the talent it has.

Cons

The problems start at the top. The founder and leadership run the place like a chaotic experiment. “High priority” tasks are shoved onto you with zero warning, only to be scrapped two weeks later as if your time and effort mean nothing. There is no strategy apart of “we should grow 40% annually” - only ego, and whiplash. The work culture is aggressively toxic. Managers openly brag that “everything is solved through conflict.” And they mean it. One manager even told me that if my husband earns good money (not working at this company), I shouldn’t dare ask for a raise. Leadership churn is a joke: every six months there’s a new CEO, VP, or some other leader parachuting in with big talk and zero accountability. Money: Then there’s the reckless hiring of wildly expensive C-level executives whose main contribution seems to be pushing employees while dangling fake promises of raises. Fighting tooth and nail for a 5–10% bump is standard. Real investment in people? Practically nonexistent. Salaries are among the lowest in the entire industry across multiple countries. And the absolute worst: this company treats long-time, loyal employees like garbage. Entire teams are fired overnight with no explanation. Direct managers are kept completely in the dark. People who served the company for years are cut without warning because “costs” or “services not needed anymore”. Even when those same services were in high demand a week earlier. This isn’t a workplace. It’s a revolving door of mismanagement, chaos, and disrespect.

Pros

Many people I worked with are dedicated, talented, and knowledgeable in their field. Unfortunately, the workplace culture often relies heavily on their efforts without providing adequate support or recognition.

Cons

The organization would benefit from stronger communication practices and more stable leadership. Employees frequently experienced uncertainty and stress due to inconsistent and often erratic decision making from senior leadership, starting with the CEO, HR leadership often chooses to reinforce or outright enable ineffective management practices.
