Toxic Management & Scam-Level Business Ethics
Pros
- Office is nicely located (ironically designed better than most of their client projects). - Some of the colleagues are genuinely talented and hardworking—real shame their efforts are wasted here.
Cons
- Scammy business practices: The company over-promises and under-delivers. Clients are charged premium prices but receive subpar, rushed contractor work that doesn’t match the agreed designs. Corners are cut constantly, and complaints are brushed off. - Immoral mass layoffs: At one point when the design team couldn’t handle the overwhelming job load due to poor project management, the upper management made a panic move. Just one day before Hari Raya, they sacked an entire group of 30–40 designers in one night—no warning, no notice, no remorse. - No job security: Designers are treated like disposable labor. You’re hired when they’re desperate, and kicked out as soon as they decide you’re no longer useful. - Toxic upper management: The leadership is clueless about running a proper interior design business. Decisions are made impulsively, usually by the boss without consulting anyone. No structure, no long-term planning. - Zero accountability: When things go wrong (which is often), the blame always trickles down to the employees, never the people in charge.
