Misleading practices and lack of ethics in the workplace

Pros

None that I ca think of

Cons

Do not be fooled by the (fake/botted) high ratings on Glassdoor and Trustpilot; the reality of working here is different. The company utilizes highly questionable and misleading tactics targeting US clients, and as an employee, you are expected to become complicit in these operations. A massive effort is clearly made to flood review platforms with fabricated praise to drown out the truth, but anyone valuing ethics, transparency, and integrity should look elsewhere. I left that dump as soon as everything was clear for me.
