Pros

Benefits such as HMO and allowances. Support for other aspects of health. Permanent work from home arrangement. Laptop is provided for work.

Cons

1. They consistently fire people for reasons of "budget constraint" but you see them arranging unnecessary events which cost a lot of money. 2. When they say that the Athena environment is full of support for one another and that they encourage people to ask questions, this is not true. Management finds fault and instead of nurturing the employee for their professional growth, they always go with firing people. They see employees as dispensable. Just this year of 2023, countless people were let go by Athena. 3. They ask their own employees to post positive reviews here to drown out the negative reviews. 4. Power trippers. There are people here, especially Westerners, who haven't met you before but will treat you like crap the first time you meet them. You don't even know if its a Western thing or a racist thing. 5. They will tell you that work time is flexible but after some time, they will require you to work at an ungodly hour just to match the Western timing. 6. There is a HIGH turnover of staff Outside looking in, the company looks good and promising. During the all hands, you will be fed with colorful words but during the actual work, it is never like that at all.

We are saddened to read your feedback as we have worked so hard to always provide the best working environment for our employees. Our core values are upheld by all of our leaders and would never exchange people's livelihood for business performance. We encourage people to leave honest reviews on Glassdoor as this serves as a way of celebrating and showcasing all of our hardwork and achievements. This is also to attract talented people like yourself to consider Athena as their first or next career opportunity. In line with that, we will make sure to look into this and make improvements as we move forward. Thank you.

Pros

Pay was good, simple and fast sale, Tons of inbound. Too good to be true…

Cons

Little training or organization. As a new hire was able to do really well in a short period of time but was part of mass lay off 6 days before Christmas. Layoff was handled terribly. Still waiting to get reimbursed for shipping cost for returning company equipment. I regret applying here and it really screwed up my life. The leadership is both incompetent and cruel.
