She has also confirmed that this Glassdoor review was written by her, with continuing updates on her twitter

Permalink to Glassdoor

Quote from the twitter thread:

I was asked about my sexual history, my boyfriends sexual history, "how I liked to fuck".

I was told that certain issues were "sexual tension" and I should just "take the co-worker out on a coffee date to ease it out"

I was asked to twerk for a co-worker at one point.

I was told I was chunky, fat, ugly, stupid. I was called "retarded" I was called a "faggot"

I was like, huh seems like she was overworked I guess I wonder why there's so many comments... Oh fuck.

Holy shit wtf

I figured it was stressful there, and I always kind of dismissed the dickheads in the community as “the internet being the internet” but it seems it’s WAY worse.

Man what the fuck kind of attitude is that??

They sound like a bunch of immature misogynistic little pricks.

Honestly? Considering how some members of the team act on camera I'm willing to believe they are immature misogynistic little pricks

Disappointed with treatment would not recommend

Social Media Coordinator

Former Employee, more than 1 year

X Recommend

O CEO Approval

X Business Outlook

Pros

a lot of talented people

employee bonding activities

Cons

No proper/or explained HR system.

Sexist remarks, coded language, and harassment were common place.

Inappropriate actions, comments, and discussions frequently occurred.

Including discussion about employees bodies, appearance, clothes, and wealth.

Upper/middle management frequently misuse power.

No way to report most incidents without issue, since the HR team was ALSO upper management.

Feedback was consistently harsh and not constructive.

Inappropriate language was commonly used while giving feedback.

Meetings with unbalanced power dynamics were common place.

Gaslighting situations frequently occurred.

Unbiased 3rd parties were never present, or easily able to be requested in these meetings.

Lack of proper communication between management and employees.

Outside ventures frequently frowned upon, or limited by the company.

Advice to Management

Stop dismissing complaints because "everyone is friends here" it's a workplace, not a group hangout session.

Get a proper HR team and take reports of harassment and inappropriate conduct seriously.

Don't dismiss employees complaints.

Just an fyi, you can get past the wall using reader mode in Firefox and

glassdoor.com^*/gd-hardsell

in ublock origin's filters. Reader mode is necessary if you want to see full reviews, the ublock rule is to stop the "please login" popup
