From the very beginning, the lack of structure and clarity made every day a struggle. I would be handed projects with vague instructions and raw materials, expected to figure out everything on my own. Sometimes the instructions didn’t even make sense, or they changed halfway through the project, meaning I had to scrap hours of work and start over. Revisions were endless, feedback was contradictory, and the expectations were unrealistic. It wasn’t about improving the work—it was about constantly keeping me on edge.
Even though I tried to maintain a high level of quality, I was often treated differently than other designers. My effort and results were rarely acknowledged, and I felt singled out without reason. Meanwhile, the workload kept increasing, sometimes forcing me to work late nights or weekends. There was no real communication, no planning, no leadership. It felt like everything relied on chaos and luck, and employees were expected to adapt constantly without support.
On top of that, basic rights and protections were completely ignored. For months, there were no contracts or medical coverage. Even after the company finally issued some documents, they were inconsistent and incomplete. Simple things like pay, leave, and official work recognition were uncertain. When I submitted my medical certificate for a 15-day rest, which was fully doctor-approved, they refused to honor it, showing a complete disregard for employee health and well-being. That moment was the final proof that the work environment was not sustainable.
The mental and physical toll of this experience was extreme. Burnout became a daily reality, and I constantly felt stressed, anxious, and undervalued. Despite having a strong portfolio and a range of skills, the company’s culture made it impossible to feel secure, productive, or appreciated. Creativity and skill were demanded, but guidance, structure, and respect were nonexistent. The imbalance between expectation and support was crushing.
I’m sharing this because I want future employees to understand the reality before joining. Moropia may seem appealing for creative opportunities, but the truth is a high-pressure, chaotic, and unsupportive environment that will drain even the most talented and hardworking people. Employees are asked to take on everything, adapt constantly, and navigate endless revisions without clear direction or recognition.
Leaving was necessary for my health and sanity. I walk away with skills, experience, and a portfolio I’m proud of, but also a deep sense of frustration at how much potential was wasted in a toxic environment. If you are considering working here, be aware: even the most capable employees will struggle to survive, and personal well-being is not prioritized.
