Pros
not much over time and got paid on time
Cons
I completely forgot about this experience until I logged into Glassdoor to update my recent interview and review experiences, where I saw related notifications. I believe I left a review two years ago about what didn’t work out for me back then—but I want to add more here, primarily to alert those who are desperately searching for a job: You might feel like you have no other opportunities and may be tempted to overlook red flags. Please know that this isn’t true. Believe in yourself and don’t settle for a company like this—you deserve better. In 2022, I was a new immigrant looking for jobs. With limited work experience in the U.S., I bent over backward for any opportunity that came my way, just to build up my résumé. However, the amount of gaslighting, disrespect, and belittling from the owner broke me to the point where I had to stand up for myself, even though it meant losing the job. Despite their gaslighting, I knew my worth and stood my ground because I had previously worked with high-profile clients in my home country. I was confident in my abilities and knew what a bad manager and unreasonable standards looked like. If I had been a new graduate, working with RareCulture would most likely have crushed my spirit and further damaged my mental health. For this reason, I strongly discourage anyone from working for them. One month after I was let go, I was contacted by another company in my desired industry and offered a salary $10,000 higher than what RareCulture had offered me. I stayed with that company for over two years, had a great experience, further developed my skills, and significantly improved my quality of life. In late 2024, I was contacted by several recruiters and eventually landed a new role with a salary 2.3 times higher than what RareCulture had offered me in 2022. You will have another opportunity, don't settle.
