Pros
The perfect workplace for individuals who thrive under micro-management and possess the patience of an elephant to endure their boss's tantrums. If you prefer embracing delusion over hard-core facts, then this environment is tailor-made for you.
Cons
Working at Wendor requires immense patience, or you'll inevitably develop it due to the demanding work environment. Each day kicks off with a flood of unread Telegram messages, the sole channel for internal communication( yes, there are no email). Then, there's the obligatory hour-long standup where everyone tentatively discusses various work plans. Despite the presence of managers, decision-making power rests solely with the CEO. Nobody in the company actually knows their KRAs or KPIs because it is put upon them to take up any task as assigned, and when somebody request for one, they are ask to have it generate by ChatGPT. Great usage of GPT btw. Wendor paints itself as a transparent, consensus-driven company inspired by Steve Jobs and Apple, but reality proves otherwise. This toxic culture extends to compensation and financial matters. Despite branding itself as a bootstrapped company, it operates more akin to a small shop, relying solely on the sales team to sustain operations. Timely and full salary payments are mere fantasies, contingent upon the unpredictable ebb and flow of sales figures. Despite these challenges, employees are expected to deliver beyond their capacity. Furthermore, dissent is met with swift expulsion, with the ousted member branded as incompetent. Consequently, few dare to voice complaints, fostering an environment of silent suffering. Lastly, surviving at Wendor required more than just excelling at your job—it demanded delicately navigating around a boss with a god complex and insatiable ego. Your value wasn't solely determined by your performance but by your willingness to sacrifice personal time for the company or generate significant revenue for the company, like the sales team does. We found ourselves in the disheartening position of having to plead incessantly, day in and day out, for our full and final settlement (FNF) to be processed, even months after parting ways with the company. The promised 45-day timeframe for settlement was consistently disregarded.But in retrospect, what more could I have expected? We were already accustomed to the degrading routine of pleading month after month for our rightful earnings, only to receive a fraction of what was owed. Reflecting on my time at Wendor, even months after leaving, still evokes a sense of trauma akin to PTSD. The memories serve as a stark reminder of the challenges faced and the toll it took on my well-being.
