Everyone’s fav name and shame time!

Interviewed with Matte Projects earlier this month and ended up getting ghosted. Not even one follow up. The interview itself was also weird. Saw their Glassdoor rating as well, prob accurate I guess

PRO TIP: I don’t care what some people say about “only bitter people post on Glassdoor,” if you see the same cons/ negative comments posted repeatedly for a company, then you know it’s 100% accurate.

Also interviewed there and was ghosted as well when the interview went seemingly well. I get the vibe they’re quite understaffed and got sweatshop vibes from the Glassdoor reviews I read.

They’re great at marketing themselves as this edgy creative shop but you never see any press on their work anywhere. The director title is a technicality there as the founders micromanage the work to death. You 100% dodged a bullet - they aren’t nearly as cool as their content makes them out to be.

I’m four months into my job and I got put onto a PIP.

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell.

I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help!

I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?
