Spocket reviews

I was hired on as a developer for a “sprint” that was expected to last about 3 weeks. What I didn’t know at the time was that 3 week sprint would turn into a 6 month ordeal of 12 hour days and abuse. All the while, I was being paid well under market, waiting for a salary review that never came. During my time at Spocket, I saw 4 other employees let go. 2 of which were hired and let go within the time I was there. Furthermore, I doubt the company’s business ethics for a number reasons, which I have chosen not to elaborate on. In any case, I fell into the mindset that I was not an employee, but rather a team member committed to the success of the company as a whole. A mindset which justified my sacrifices, and the ones of my co-workers (in hindsight, seeing someone work from the hospital where their wife is in labour should be frowned upon). To a degree, this was exciting, but it was far from being a healthy relationship. By the end, I was severely depressed. I don’t necessarily blame the company for letting me go; near the end of my time there, I was exhausted and under-preforming. Having re-examined my time with them however, I am firmly of the belief that the company treats it’s employees in a destructive and reckless manor.

The company culture is toxic. The CEO is an abusive bully and everyone hates him. Hopefully Spocket's investors can figure out the damage he has caused and get rid of him before its too late. you've been warned! also, all of the positive reviews on glassdoor, shopify, wix, google, etc are fake. I've had to write some as well from the pressure.
