- - Account Manager HiPPO Prop Employee Review

Affordable and varied food options nearby. Strictly enforced knock-off time — 6pm means 6pm (though 9am arrival is non-negotiable). There were a few vibrant, positive team members — unfortunately, most have moved on.

This is essentially a family-run business, and with that comes all the internal drama. Conflict, shouting matches, and sudden changes are common and unsettling. The company lacks a clear, consistent business direction. Strategies shift weekly, and policies — including salary and commission structures — are frequently revised with little notice. It often feels like decisions are driven more by personal moods than thoughtful planning. No solid processes or frameworks exist. Operations are improvised, and staff are often left confused and unsupported. Promises made at the start (such as media support and fixed pay structures) were later retracted. Entire teams have been made redundant overnight. Agents are left to fend for themselves, with minimal guidance or structure — essentially functioning like fully commissioned freelancers, but without the expected industry support. External partners have raised concerns about delayed commission payments, which hurts the company’s reputation in the industry. Turnover is very high. Many of the most capable and genuine colleagues have already left, disillusioned by the experience. Many employees walked away feeling misled. The sense of instability is overwhelming and demoralising.

It has wonder food options to choose from when going to lunch at the surrounding area.

I joined this startup expecting to take the lead in digital advertising and online marketing. While there were opportunities to contribute, I quickly realized that the role came with unexpected challenges, particularly in terms of leadership dynamics and workflow management. One key issue was the approach to team management. Frequent meetings were held, often with a strong focus on oversight rather than strategy, which affected productivity. Responsibilities were sometimes unclear, and work delegation felt uneven, with some tasks being reassigned to individuals outside their areas of expertise. Additionally, despite digital marketing being a crucial component in real estate lead generation, there seemed to be a lack of understanding of its strategic value. Suggestions that digital marketing could be entirely self-taught through online resources undervalued the expertise required for success in this field. The workplace culture also posed challenges. There was a noticeable divide in team dynamics, and differing opinions were sometimes met with resistance. Constructive feedback was not always well-received, and this occasionally created a tense work environment. Given the small office setting, collaboration was essential, but team cohesion was sometimes hindered by internal politics. From an organizational standpoint, job security was a significant concern. Changes in staffing appeared to happen abruptly, with limited communication regarding role expectations and long-term planning. Additionally, while hard work was expected, appreciation for extra efforts and overtime was not always evident.
