Pros

Medical benefits, remote work, flex schedule.

Cons

To provide a comprehensive overview, I feel it's crucial to highlight a review from a former employee who stated, "all that glitters is not gold." Despite initially hoping this was an isolated incident, my own experience at Joybyte mirrored theirs precisely. The management lacks empathy and strong leadership, leading to an overworked atmosphere that permeates the entire team. The onboarding process is rushed, and the company's "open door policy" for voicing concerns quickly turns into labeling employees as "negative" for speaking up. Monthly reviews using a 1-10 rating system fail to provide meaningful feedback tailored to individual strengths. Management refuses to take accountability for communication issues, excessive workloads, and inadequate training. In the initial interview, I was assured that my client portfolio would consist of no more than 5-6 clients. However, shortly after joining, I found myself managing 8 clients, with the expectation of reaching a capacity of 10. The increase in workload was overwhelming, compounded by the unrealistic daily tasks and KPIs we were expected to meet on a weekly basis. The promises made during the interview regarding client workload quickly unraveled, leaving both myself and my some colleagues struggling to cope with unattainable expectations. Despite working long hours, (working before 8, and past 5) to meet the ever-growing demands seems impossible, leading to a toxic environment where blame is placed on employees rather than addressing systemic issues. It’s truly saddening as their are some wonderful, talented, passionate, kind hearted people who work here. I caution anyone considering a job offer here to beware of the toxic work culture.

Pros

Supportive team environment, strong communication across departments, collaborative leadership, and a lot of opportunity to grow professionally within the TikTok Shop/e-commerce space. The work is fast-paced and challenging in a good way, and there is a strong culture of problem solving and innovation. Leadership is very open to ideas and feedback, and the company overall has a very positive and motivated atmosphere.

Cons

Because the company is growing quickly, processes and systems are constantly evolving, which can sometimes create a fast-moving environment with shifting priorities. Like most agency/client-facing roles, there can also be periods of high workload depending on campaign timing and platform demands.

Pros

Joybyte had a very positive shift in leadership when I came in — the reviews here on Glassdoor had me hesitate at first but it's a great sign when you notice that leadership is shifting things based on these pain points and feedback. The work is great, I am learning a lot of new things, and I have felt no issue in keeping my work-life balance steady. The flexibility has been really helpful in that regard, I am grateful to work with leadership that trusts us enough to be adults who get our stuff done.

Cons

Naturally, there are growing pains and kinks to work out as departments grow, improve, and expand. However, leadership is quick to acknowledge these pains to ensure support is there.
