Not apply to this review please see cons

Cons

There is a very obvious attempt to astroturf the reviews on Glassdoor and other review websites with very basic 5-star reviews written in enough detail to get past some word count. Former employees have noticed and chit with each other, it is very sad and embarrassing to see management take this action instead of fixing very important issues. We left because of justifiable reasons beyond lack of pay and to see management act like it is our problem and not theirs is saddening. Whats sadder is this attempt is so transparent, with glowing reviews and no real effort to even try make it look real. Management thinks they can play potential new employee’s or investors as fools??

Dear Shadow Factory Employee, Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback with us. Regarding your review of Shadow Factory, I’m very sorry this was your experience. We take company culture very seriously and want to treat all our employees respectfully and inclusively. In 2019, we were still a young company, with a lot of challenges. Since then, I’ve done my best to make things right and make everyone whole. We have learned a lot through the experience and can assure you processes are now in place so we don’t have a repeat of these issues again. In terms of the other reviews, we encourage all of our employees to post honestly about us. If you feel something is misrepresented, or you still feel you’re owed something, please contact me (Amit) directly: amit@shadowfactory.io. I’ll do my best to help.

Pros

Casual, multicultural environment, laid back and friendly people.

Cons

Toxic and unreliable. Didn't pay unless sued for. Criminals that are somehow still up and about despite many former employees going to labor department to get paid what they rightfully deserve. Unprofessional and has lack of actual relevant content to share. If you are rich and aren't too concerned with getting a monthly salary or heck, any payment at all.. it's a wonderful place that can offer fun times and party vibes.
