Hostile, Rude, Unprofessional Team

Senior Quality Specialist • Former Employee

New York, New York, United States

Pros: None. The team is rude, unprofessional, and completely unfit to run a company, let alone one operating in Canada. There’s a shocking lack of accountability, respect, and basic communication standards.

Cons: Absolutely unacceptable experience. The moment you offer any constructive feedback, they respond with malice and hostility, retaliating by removing you from the project without warning. Instead of professionalism, you get vindictiveness. On top of that, they are incredibly rude and unprofessional—shutting down your email and cutting off communication without so much as a notice or explanation. The lack of basic respect and courtesy is astounding. This is not how you treat people. Avoid at all costs.
