extremely toxic environment - Anonymous employee Somerce Employee Review

There are no pros for this company

Firstly, I would not be surprised if positive reviews suddenly appear after this, as that seemed to happen often whenever criticism came up - so I wanted to leave what I believe is a genuine review for future candidates who deserve to know what they may be walking into. 1. The worst management I have ever experienced in my working life. It genuinely felt like even senior leadership and the CEO had no real direction or understanding of what they were doing. 2. They will happily give you significantly more responsibility and even a “higher title,” but don’t expect that to come with any actual pay rise. 3. A large number of employees felt incredibly fake. People will smile to your face, act friendly, then very quickly throw you under the bus behind closed doors if it helps them stay in favour with management or the CEO. 4. Work/life balance is practically non-existent. You can expect to regularly work beyond your contracted hours, sometimes even weekends, and don’t expect much appreciation or gratitude for doing so.

Somerce is a high-energy, performance-driven agency that’s growing fast in the TikTok and social commerce space. The team is full of sharp, creative people who really understand the mechanics of TikTok Shop, influencer marketing, and live commerce. There’s a genuine sense of innovation here, if you want to learn how to build brands on the fastest-moving platforms, this is the place. The leadership team is ambitious and forward-thinking, pushing everyone to deliver results and move quickly. That can be both inspiring and exhausting: pace is relentless, expectations are high, and priorities can shift overnight. But if you thrive in startup chaos and love seeing the direct impact of your work, it’s incredibly rewarding.

Workload can be heavy Fast growth can be hectic
