Pros

Remote work, some colleagues tried to help. but total is, nothing!

Cons

There was virtually no onboarding, no proper training, and no clear handover process. I was effectively told to log into WHMCS, take tickets, and solve them without any meaningful guidance. For a technical support role, this created unnecessary stress and confusion from day one. The team workflow was poorly explained, internal communication was weak, and management support felt dismissive rather than helpful. The employment terms were full of red flags. The contract was heavily one-sided, including clauses about withholding part of salary, limiting pay during probation, and giving management broad discretion over basic rights. There were also unusual requirements unrelated to the actual job, such as being expected to publicly update LinkedIn and promote the company branding. The confidentiality agreement was excessively aggressive and included an extreme financial penalty clause that felt unreasonable and intimidating. The leave policy was also poor. Annual leave was effectively locked at the start, sick leave was very limited, and the overall benefits package did not match the expectations of a full-time technical position. On top of that, the company collected extensive personal information, which raised privacy concerns for me. Payment methods such as crypto, Payoneer, or Revolut for a supposed full-time permanent role also felt unprofessional. Overall, the company came across as disorganised, controlling, and far less professional than it presents itself publicly. * No onboarding * No structured training * No proper introduction to workflow or internal processes * No clear guidance on how to use WHMCS properly * Weak management support * “Just log in and take tickets” style training approach * Poor communication and poor team coordination * High-pressure environment * Disorganised operations * Confusing ticket handling and escalation flow * Heavily one-sided contract terms * Probation terms felt unfair and intimidating * Salary/payment during probation appeared unclear and discretionary * First 10 days of salary being held back was a major red flag * Mandatory LinkedIn promotion requirements felt inappropriate * Extremely broad confidentiality terms * Excessive $50,000 penalty clause in confidentiality agreement * Restrictive and employee-unfriendly leave policy * Annual leave locked at the start * 0 annual paid leave available initially * Only 5 days available after 6 months * Full 12 days only after 1 year * Sick leave limited to only 2 days * Unusual payment methods for a full-time role * Payment through crypto / Payoneer / Revolut did not feel professional or secure * Too much personal information collected * Serious GDPR/privacy concerns * Overall contract felt absurdly unbalanced
