Pros

Good office location. Weekly massages.

Cons

All these good things are a facade to make you feel a particular way. Treatment of staff is disgustingly bad. The owner is a micromanager who is never happy and will fire a person without a thought after hiring them for a position he had no intention of placing you in. He has no structure to work and has no skills in training people. I and others were let go. Many others quit. But when he fires you he will do it in a manipulative way so he doesn’t have to pay you the exit fee he is meant to. I only realised what he had done after the fact and he twisted my words and changed his own words to say technically you weren’t fired but you quit, which is untrue for everyone he fired. He had issues with his long term staff that he let get in the middle of training new staff. And that staff member he had issues with made life difficult for the training staff because she no longer cared. He fired that new staff because they were unable to function in that toxic environment although they did everything they could to try work and even said they wanted to stay. He then lied and said that new staff quit but we saw it with our own eyes when he fired him. Disgusting human being.

Pros

Nice location and office. The devs and Japanese support staff that work in the office are some of the best people I have met. I also felt the same about the warehouse staff members amazing people.

Cons

Someone else that wrote a review mentioned that there was no plan for them. My situation was almost identical. My "tasks" changed regularly, so getting used to any one thing was obviously difficult. I was hired to be part of the CS team and was then let go two weeks later because my progression was "too slow". It is almost impossible to get used to anything in two weeks when your tasks changed almost daily and they had no particular connection to each other. I essentially trained myself and at the time had started putting together some documentation in hopes that whoever came in next would have a much easier time. As someone that has experience in training people for work it was the worst "training" I have ever experienced. I had a gut feeling from the moment I walked in the door something was off, but I ignored it. Anyway, I consider it a blessing. I found out a lot that I will not mention. So I will wholeheartedly say getting fired was an absolute blessing in disguise. Because, what was to come would have been hellish. Keeping personal feelings about people out of this, on a business and operations level it is off. And from the reviews, whoever reads this can see it's not only me. My "trainer" was a gaslighter, and couldn't take any feedback without feeling attacked. I would steer clear.

Pros

In all honesty, there were almost no pros in working at this place. Maybe the free lunches paid by the management from time to time were nice

Cons

This is going to be a long list - Pay is below average - Absolute worst management; bad at communicating, constantly micro-managing and harassing you if you do something wrong - No flexibility whatsoever; going out of the office to get a snack outside of break hours is frowned upon. Management wants you tied to your desk at all times. - Bad-mouthing co-workers who aren't present or former employees happens almost daily. Really leaves a bad impression overall - You have to justify every minute you're not working. Going to doctor appointments etc. will be taken out of your monthly salary because EVERY hour you work is counted. Being late by a few minutes means you have to make up for it. Your work output isn't important. What's important is how long you sit at your desk and "work" - New ideas are not welcome. The CEO only does what he wants and his ideas are all that count - CEO comes and goes out of the office whenever he wants while the employees can't enjoy the same flexibility - Toxic work environment where teamwork is impossible because CEO wants to have control over everything Avoid working there at all costs!
