Pros

The office had reasonable hours and the people I worked with directly were decent enough.

Cons

The main thing is that whenever a mistake happened, nothing changed afterward. I would see the same errors show up over and over again from different people, which meant nobody was actually learning from what went wrong, and I had to keep dealing with the consequences. What really got to me was that decisions from above seemed okay with how things were, no pushback, no investigation into why things kept failing. After a while I stopped bothering to flag problems because I knew nothing would happen anyway. I could watch something break, report it, watch it break the exact same way next time, and just... nothing. The pattern never stopped.

Pros

The office location was decent and pay always arrived on time, which honestly feels like the absolute bare minimum.

Cons

The boundary between work and personal life completely disappears at Proverb. I would finish a project at 6 PM only to receive Slack messages at 10 PM demanding immediate responses, and none of it ever felt optional, everything was treated like an emergency. Employees are expected to stay constantly available, night, weekends, anytime, and the moment you are not instantly reachable people act like you are failing your job. I stopped trying to create boundaries only creates tension and makes you look like you are not a team player, which becomes exhausting very quickly. The culture has zero respect for the fact that people have lives outside of work, families, sleep, or even basic personal time. The nonstop pressure and constant anxiety of feeling glued to your phone eventually wears you down mentally and emotionally every single day.

Pros

There is honestly nothing positive to highlight. The entire experience has been miserable from start to finish.

Cons

Timelines and expectations are completely unrealistic and unreasonable. Supervisors behave like narcissists who believe they are flawless while constantly belittling employees. Anyone seriously considering working here should reconsider immediately.
