Toxic culture, Fake promises, and disrespect for the law and employees - Full Stack Engineer KICKS CREW Employee Review

- On one hand, C-levels constantly brag about their new luxury collectibles, partnership deals with celebrity athletes, and plans for a new overseas office. On the other hand, they periodically "remind" employees that their salaries are "too high," which is their justification for occasional payroll delays. It's genuinely hard to tell if the company is rich or poor? - In this company, only the C-levels and their inner circle are treated as human beings. They only care about who can bring in the next investor, so individual contributions are irrelevant. Everyone else is a disposable commodity. Performing well doesn't guarantee your safety; if they decide your salary is too high, they will force you to resign rather than follow Taiwan's labor laws for a legal layoff. - The work culture is toxic and stressful. People leave every few months from every department and every role, forcing you to constantly pick up the work of departed colleagues. Conversely, you can get promoted quickly if you are skilled at pleasing the management and C-levels. - C-levels are fully aware of employee dissatisfaction, so they allow and even encourage internal conflict as a way to divert attention. It's incredibly difficult to remain neutral and protect yourself in this toxic environment. Promotions are not earned through merit but are granted to those favored by leadership. This has led to a large number of individuals with toxic personalities joining and getting promoted, making the culture even more chaotic and poisonous. There was a rumor about one of the former manager allegedly allowed a senior member to bully colleagues, eventually promoting her to a lead position. Another senior member, also allegedly engaged in bullying and office politics. He often belittles others and praises himself, which makes other colleagues feel very uncomfortable. His ability to flatter superiors and torment colleagues was far more advanced. Besides work, you had to constantly be on guard against these dangerous people. It pushed my mental and physical health to the limit. - The middle management layer only knows how to placate, and sometimes even oppress or deceive their subordinates to protect their own positions. They can only obey but simply act as proxies for the C-levels. Meanwhile, the C-levels pretend to know nothing about the team's situation, even though they are 100% responsible for it. - Management orders employees or themselves writes fake positive reviews to cover negative feedback. The C-levels refer to whistle blowers as "traitors." -When doubted about company, the C-levels' response is to talk about which new celebrity they just signed a deal with. As employees, we have never received a direct answer about the cultural problems. And by the way, if our salaries are truly "too high," maybe they should ask Dwyane Wade and their other partners to handle customer service and software development? Final Statement: The above content is based on my personal observations and experiences and does not constitute any comprehensive evaluation of the company brand or specific individuals. I strongly advise any job candidate to conduct thorough due diligence before accepting an offer. If you are still working at this company and feel the same way, please know that your feelings are real and you are not alone. I chose to become a "whistle blower" because I firmly believe that labors must help each other. Silence only emboldens management and toxic colleagues to treat us as if we are foolish and weak.
