      I have been working at InGenius Prep full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Flexibility if written in your contract, growing company, multinational, learn mutiple skills, team-oriented, pet friendly, education focused, kind people, (opportunities to travel to Asia-four other offices with more on the way)

      Cons

      Note: this company is not a startup. The leadership use “startup” as an excuse to offer poor compensation and uncomfortable working conditions. There are over 80 full-time employees — Unorganized, poor communication from and between leadership, micromanagerial while promising flexibility, profit-driven (unwilling to pay for cleaning services), subpar compensation, no benefits, preferential treatment (some employees get to take more than two weeks off, take their children and partners on business trips & stay in company lodging, work schedule flexibility if leadership likes you), expected to work an average of 12-16 hours a day in multiple zones earning less than six figures a year without bonus and/or benefits, only hire women for education positions, all employees are heterosexual, they promise a lot and deliver very little, people are kind but underpaid, overwhelemed, and unhappy

      Advice to Management

      Communicate with your employees and the company at large, offer group trainings, don’t assume without asking, don’t manage your other investments/businesses in the office

      Hello,

      Obviously, something we have done upset you, and for that we are sorry. However, there are numerous factual inaccuracies here which need to be corrected:

      1. We have cleaning staff that... More
