Pros
Snacks & Food Education in their classes, the students and teachers at BrainStation are very nice, can’t say the same about the working environment! Company retreats
Cons
Fake culture, the people in the work environment pretend to be welcoming, seen countless of people thrown under the bus.. Many losing their jobs. They easily replace people when you “step out of line” or annoy the manager. They will not tell you and eventually find a reason to fire you. For example within a few month 5-8 employees was sacked/ left. The mentality is easily replaceable on their employees, major discrimination e.g. an employee was off sick/hospitalised then they immediately fired them. No promotion in sight, no negotiations on salary. Once you agree on your base salary at the start they raise it every year incrementally. For example our whole team did the same tasks, but everyone had different pay gaps because of the starting salary. They will not consider to raise your salary, rather fire you which is what happened to my colleagues who kept asking for a salary raise. Very biased to your ethnicity, and bully environment. When they fire people they do it immediately with no reason or warning or any farewells. You will be schedule a meeting with the HR, straight afterwards your information would be wiped and you’ll lose everything. It is very traumatising and inhumane way to treat people, there’s other ways to fire people. They have weird rules, for example the part time staff are not allowed to mix with the full time employees. During staff parties part time staff (who organise the events) are not allowed to stay around at all, else they get reprimanded. No diversity at all, the full time and upper management staff are mostly Caucasian. Mostly the part timers are ethnic. Mixed with the fake company culture, you’ll have to watch your backs all the time.. There’s so much more to say that I’ve left out. I am sorry I never bother wasting my time to write the bad only leave 5 stars but I can’t let the next people suffer/misinformed. My experience with BrainStation was very traumatic and I’m not the only one. There’s many others but this takes a lot to write down. I also learnt the greatest lesson of how to deal with fake working environments, cheers.
