Pros

● Great colleagues. Most work-level teammates were respectful, well-mannered, and supportive. ● Convenient location. Not that far from the subway station. ● Company provides a lunch coupon (though reduced in recent years).

Cons

● Lunch coupon benefit was cut in half and never restored. ● The product suffers from recurring issues, made worse by high employee turnover, leading to inconsistent and difficult development. ● Company direction is unclear, with frequent, abrupt changes in strategy and decisions made without much consideration. ● Hiring practices tend to favor people who are good at talking rather than those who are skilled in their roles. Unfortunately, these individuals often end up holding more influence and rewards. ● The CEO often makes weird comments and enforces rules inconsistently, showing favoritism toward certain individuals.

Pros

Interesting product and some good workers who also are abused by this employer.

Cons

3i/Pivo is by far the worst employer I ever worked for. They asked employees to post fake reviews to push up their rating on Trustpilot and app stores. They never paid my last week of work. They do not allow meal break. They never pay overtime. They don’t give stocks. They misclassify common law employees as independent contractors to perform work exactly as regular employees. Many workers are affected by their illegal practice. They misrepresented my role as remote, and then they required relocation to Seoul right after my start date. They misrepresented the role as longterm, but then they sent a short term contract. They controlled all my worked conditions, my worked hours, and my assignments, but they refused to pay employment taxes. They asked to renew the freelance agreement, while they made me work as common law employee. They owe a lot of employment taxes worldwide, To avoid paying employment taxes in Europe, they onboarded all their european workers as expatriate employees from Korea, even though those employees never lived or worked in Korea. They misrepresent their office location as based in San Jose, California, but they do not have any form of presence in USA. This is all fake. Additionally, executives make sexist comments about women in the workplace. HR has an anti-diversity policy against foreigners. Workplace does not respect Covid-policies or shelter-in-place. They require employees to work in the office during the pandemic, and they ask workers to join large group meetings in tiny rooms.
