The CEO does not appreciate employees and bullies them. And he makes poor business decisions.  - Product Manager 3i Employee Review

Pros

Some peers are capable and nice. Diverse cultural environments.

Cons

The CEO destroys everything employees have worked hard for - good culture, trust, teamwork, efficient systems, and professional skills. CEOs often humiliate employees, disrespect them, and undervalue them. He is always spying on his employees and has suspicions about them. It seems he doesn't want us to take proper rest. He made a few sexual harassments by commenting on employees' appearances. CEO is incapable of communicating his "visions" and "ideas" to employees, but gets mad when no one "understands”. He makes employees get back to square one in order to follow his "ideas" that disrupt efficient workflow. His ideas are so ambiguous and unorganized. Those are not based on reliable data, but rather on gut feelings. His small mind makes it hard to say good-bye to employees who have been working together for a long time. He cursed the people who left the company. Literally, he said "You will regret" quite a few times. Even ex-employees who have left the company are tracked by him. During one speech he warned the employees not to become zombies! “They waste resources, burden coworkers, and are not willing to work hard. Report any zombies to me". Fun fact. He hired some fancy zombies. But those fancy zombies don’t know how to use their laptops or send emails. There is a whole mess since most CXOs are unqualified... The majority of qualified employees have left and those who remain are so lost. The current CEO isn't ready to take over the role.

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.
