Depressing disrespectful workplace with majority remote workers in Iran
Pros
- The minimum wage salary and health benefits is good for new grads/interns
Cons
- Management doesn't care about you, only cares about how much work you can churn out 24/7 even if it's not during work hours, or you're sick, or have a death in family, or aren't getting paid overtime, etc etc - Expected to deliver results no matter what, but also not allowed to leave when you're done your deliverables for the day. Must clock 8 total hours down to the minute (not including any type of break like bathroom breaks) - You can only work half day if you need to WFH on your assigned in-office days - WFH hours 9-6pm (1hr lunch but have to respond to messages) - You work with a huge team of remote Iranian workers, some better at communication and all in an opposite time-zone than PST - Tiny office with no air flow, plus can't work full day at home if sick, results in people coming in sick all the time. I got COVID from there - Must research and fight for your employee rights every time anything happens - Company was unorganized and chaotic in the way business changes were made, tasks given without much thought, meetings called without notice or agenda. As well the loose structure enables management to add unreasonable rules on a whim, effective immediately. - They asked me to leave a 5 star review while working there but I couldn't bring myself to lie to all the hardworking eager job seekers. These are things I wish I had known
