Pros

Salary is decent. Depending on what project you are on, you don't struggle working too much. You receive an internet allowance and $45 monthly to buy yourself some food.

Cons

Bootlickers, gossip groups, backstabbing culture. People do literally anything to get a promotion.

There's a lack of transparency on how to get a pay raise, and a lack of communication. Privileged people get ahead because they are friends with some team leader, coordinator, or manager.

This is just another big corporation that sells to the entire world. They claim to be inclusive, diverse, and to care about your wellbeing, when actually they don't give a sugar.

They cancelled our WFA policy, reducing it to 20 days annual (right after 2 years of pandemic when people couldn't see their family for that time).

They used to say the returning to the office would be smooth and understanding employees' needs. So, well, they gave us around 3 months to get back to the office, no matter where you're living or if you have a contract with a real estate agency; that's your problem.

They have a deferral option, but it can only be considered if you have some disability or are severely ill, or are taking care of a family member with the same problems.

This company is far from being at least respectful to its staff. You're less than a number here.

Advice to Management

Nothing; they are doing great, actually. They are treating people like nothing less than numbers, paying less than all other social media platforms like Meta, Twitter, YouTube, etc., and making billions of dollars in revenue. That's all that matters to corporations, so they are doing a fantastic job!
