Pros

High-end clients, extremely talented team members

Cons

Working for digiio was not what I expected at all and left me drained and extremely close to a burnout. Claiming to be a startup, the management used this as an excuse for endless unpaid overtime, an extremely high-pressured work environment and a very chaotic company structure. Some of the clients were well known and established companies and this was exciting to begin with. This also meant however, that any request as ridiculous and impossible as it sounded, was agreed to by the management. In addition verbal abuse from clients was tolerated to the point where members of staff were left crying. It became very clear to me at that point, that money was more important to the company than the employees well-being and I strongly disagree with such a toxic work culture. Complaints about the workload were met with excuses and empty promises. Working weekends was extremely common and not compensated, as was working overtime. The employee turnaround was exceptionally high and instead of tackling the issue and investing in their staff, the management decided to send out further fake promises which were obviously never kept. I left the company feeling exhausted, not valued and disappointed in myself for believing all the fake promises they made - I strongly advise you not to work for this company.

Pros

Not applicable at this time

Cons

In my relatively short time at the company I saw over 10 people leave, from what is a very small company to begin with. The incredibly high turnover rate tells you that all the other negative reviews on here are not hyperbolic. So, rather than repeating what's already been said, I'll instead recount a few of the rules that the CEO attempted to enfore: - Lunch breaks are to be taken at times that she decides for you - No checking your phone when you get a text - No listening to music or podcasts on your headphones while you work at your desk - No taking coffee breaks - No chewing gum - No 'bad posture' whilst sitting at your desk - No flexible working - Management attempted to force employees to take their sick days as holiday, knowing that this is illegal, but attempting to get away with it, hoping that we don't know our rights The managent believe that they own their staff. It's no suprise they they are so obsessed with AI, as they clearly don't view staff as human beings, but rather soulless units of labour to be exploited and belittled as they see fit.
