i hate it there - Poly Intern My Secret Hacks Employee Review

My time at My Secret Hacks was one of the more formative experiences I've had in a professional setting. The team was tight-knit and everyone pulled their weight, so you feel the impact of your work pretty quickly. One thing that stood out to me most was the quality of feedback. My boss was direct and specific in a way that made every correction useful rather than just critical. Most of the team members are young but have been in the company for years, so they bring good experience that can help to guide newbies. You always knew not just what was wrong but why, which I really appreciated as someone starting in this industry. People communicated honestly, expectations are clear, and there's genuine respect for what each person brings to the table regardless of experience level. I got to work on video editing, content planning, and even an event setup, so it wasn't just one thing the whole time. It is a good place to work in if you want to actually to experience new things, not just watch. Would recommend to anyone who wants to understand how a creative agency operates from the inside.

It's important to put in the effort when working there. From my time there, there are only that 1-2 colleagues that clearly gets questioned and scoldings a lot more, and that has more to do with their attitude and repeated mistakes.

I guess only good part is stay at home job? but tbh it doesn't even feel any less stressful

wouldn’t recommend working here tbh. the place is really chaotic and there’s barely any structure or proper system in place. every day feels messy and stressful, and it gets draining after a while. the boss also comes across very fake. one moment he acts okay, then the next he belittles you or makes you feel small. it’s honestly discouraging and makes it hard to feel motivated at work. the overall mood there is quite bad too. people don’t really seem happy, and once work starts, it feels like everyone is just trying to get through the day. i’ve heard quite a few people complain, and i’ve also seen many full timers leave. turnover seems high for a reason. personally, my mental health has been affected a lot working there. i’m stressed all the time, and i’m honestly planning to leave soon too. if you’re thinking of joining, just be careful. from what i’ve seen, a lot of people don’t stay long.
