Chaotic environment with high stress and turnover - Planner My Secret Hacks Employee Review

My time at My Secret Hacks was one of the more formative experiences I've had in a professional setting. The team was tight-knit and everyone pulled their weight, so you feel the impact of your work pretty quickly. One thing that stood out to me most was the quality of feedback. My boss was direct and specific in a way that made every correction useful rather than just critical. Most of the team members are young but have been in the company for years, so they bring good experience that can help to guide newbies. You always knew not just what was wrong but why, which I really appreciated as someone starting in this industry. People communicated honestly, expectations are clear, and there's genuine respect for what each person brings to the table regardless of experience level. I got to work on video editing, content planning, and even an event setup, so it wasn't just one thing the whole time. It is a good place to work in if you want to actually to experience new things, not just watch. Would recommend to anyone who wants to understand how a creative agency operates from the inside.

It's important to put in the effort when working there. From my time there, there are only that 1-2 colleagues that clearly gets questioned and scoldings a lot more, and that has more to do with their attitude and repeated mistakes.

i can stay at home to do my work except i rather not.. because of the crazy micro management

just sharing my experience as a poly intern at this company because honestly… the bad review was not lying lol. the work environment was super demoralising. the team felt tired, stressed, and everyone was basically running on “just survive today” mode. the boss was sarcastic, belittling, and really not easy to work with. feedback is one thing, but constantly making people feel small is another thing. i also saw many of the full timers leave without saying much of a word? so the turnover rate pretty much speaks for itself. when people keep leaving, maybe the problem is not “people cannot tahan startup life”. maybe the environment is just bad lol i was getting around $800 a month which is okish also that positive review defending the boss is definitely fake loll. maybe written by himself... overall, would not recommend. it felt like one of those startups where “fast-paced environment” actually means “good luck, your mental health is now part of the company budget”. 0/10 internship experience. anime character development arc only
