Pros

Nothing positive about this company

Cons

This has been, without a doubt, the most toxic work environment I've ever experienced. The work pace is relentlessly high, making it impossible to keep up without constantly feeling overwhelmed. The owner is an absolute control freak, micromanaging every single detail and demonstrating a complete inability to delegate work effectively. Their mood swings are unpredictable and create an incredibly unstable atmosphere, leaving everyone walking on eggshells. The onboarding process was a total failure, offering no real guidance. You're constantly in a no-win situation: if you ask questions, you're interrupting colleagues, but if you don't, you're deemed too passive. This contradictory feedback is a constant source of frustration. There's never any praise, only criticism, no matter how much effort you put in. To make matters worse, the company uses a time tracker, but the hours you log are never considered enough. You're frequently expected to work 10+ hours a day, yet you're only paid for eight. This level of exploitation, combined with the mobbing from the CEO, makes for a truly toxic workplace where burnout is inevitable within a few months. I strongly advise anyone considering working here to look elsewhere.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts of Autism Parenting Magazine. We strive to a create a first class culture where people love to work, develop their careers and also improve the quality of lives for thousands of people worldwide through our mission. As a publishing company, we have firm monthly deadlines, which means all of us are accountable for managing our time effectively, producing quality work and collaborating with other team members with minimal supervision and without friction. We care about our staff and that is evident in the long tenure and high internal employee satisfaction scores. Everyone works on a shift schedule to collaborate with other team members in real time and manage work-life balance. Unfortunately this approach did not work for you and we’re sorry to hear that your own proposal for a flexible schedule approach did not meet your expectations and that it contributed to burnout and a feeling of overwhelm. We made adjustments, restructured project plans and provided support to help you meet expectations during your probation period. We recognise that every individual has different working styles and does not appreciate that approach. We wish you every success in finding a role that’s the right fit for your preferred work style in a team .
