PM - Product Manager Wattpad Employee Review

Its free. No bug. Up to date.

No money income. No readers.

Some of the staff was quite lovely and helpful. Much appreciation to them. Otherwise my overall rating would be ZERO.

I worked briefly at Wattpad as an Independent contractor with their Creative Services Team at the beginning of 2025. Unfortunately, my experience was an absolute nightmare.

 The Sr. Manager of Creative was not only consistently unorganized and unprepared but also displayed an aggressively angry and unprofessional disposition. 

 There was a notable lack of clear direction, with leadership failing to answer basic questions or address blaring operational issues. - If you can’t even provide your team with the login credentials they need to access company accounts how are they expected do their job??? 

Hiring managers are responsible for on-boarding and training 
but rather than taking responsibility for systemic problems, management consistently shifted blame to me. This environment not only stifled any chances of success but also created significant frustration and low morale amongst the wider team. 

 To add insult to injury it took MONTHS of back and forth emails with their finance department to finally receive pay for hours worked. 

I hope by sharing my story I can help someone avoid the treatment I was made to suffer.
