Athena Reviews

1. Last 2023, they said they will set the Oraz entity to ensure that all staff are protected and enjoys all employee benefits. They promised that if we sign up, they will gross up our salary. - LIE 2. On the new employee contract, they included the 10 days unused leave convertible to cash. They even used this as a strategy and included it on the annual calculation of salary. Just to show that there is ‘minimal’ difference on pay. LIE!!! When it was time to convert, management forced people to use the leave so nothing to convert 3. Few months back, they removed the 10 days unused leave conversion clause from our contract. But they presented the buyout as a bonus. LIE!!! Not only did they trick employees of not being able to have this benefit in the succeeding years, the bonus was also taxable whereas if it had been given to us as normal, it would have been otherwise. 4. One of the c-suite leaders is basing the promotions based on who she likes. Not based on performance but based on who says yes to her all the time 5. Our Ops leaders (exec) always shame people in public even including my line manager 6. I gave a suggestion once and it all backfired. So Athena stating it is a safe place is a complete LIE!

Your rate does not reflect your workload. The benefits do not cover the fact that you can be doing a job meant for 5 people and still be compensated the same. They will bombard you with team spirit and all those colorful things to mask that they care more about their clients than their employees. Ultimately, you are just another dispensable employee that they will try to get rid of once it does not benefit them anymore. Most policies, if not all, benefit the higher-ups, more than they benefit you as an employee, no matter how amazing they make it sound. All in all, it was a very traumatizing experience for me because the management and executives gaslighted you whenever you "approach directly". A lot of toxic positivity and broken promises get exhausting and compromise you and your well-being. Run. If you love your mental health enough.
