Pros

None, didn't work there long enough to experience any "benefits"!

Cons

Since leaving their employ, I have been following Glassdoor reviews and noting the PR department’s increasingly desperate attempts to counter the growing number of negative reviews by pressuring new employees to leave five-star ratings. Another recurring tactic (not just on Glassdoor, but across various review platforms) is their insistence that they are a "growing company." This claim often serves as a deflection when they have no valid response to the serious accusations made against them. HyperionDev was founded over a decade ago, yet much of its course material remains unchanged—many sections have never been updated since they were originally plagiarized from books published as early as 2005. Given all this, one might expect that the individual running the company would have gone out of business long ago. However, I must admit he is a resourceful operator. To all potential employees and students: steer clear of this toxic company and let it fade into obscurity. Far too many people have suffered due to the actions of a single individual, and this should not be allowed to continue. If you have the means, take action—file a complaint with the CCMA, pursue legal avenues to recover your money, or seek assistance from the labor court. The more time he spends dealing with litigation, the less time he has to deceive others. Stay strong, and keep up the resistance!
