Digitize reviews

The interview process was almost a full (unpaid) work day - applicants are immediately offered a poorly written welcome packet detailing the positions offered, that overtime is expected, and the company's long-term goals. Before you begin your interview you must do a Word assesment, an Excel assesment, two personality & workplace culture activities, and a one minute typing assesment. Once the actual interview process begins, you're asked a lot of vague questions that essentially add up to, "are you interested in zero work/life balance?" The marketing manager also tries to weed out applicants who have degrees or previous work experience by making it seem as if it's a waste of time if you're just willing to work yourself to the bone. I was told that the admin/office support role includes making HR calls, some accounting, and general office duties like filing. It's actually just making call after call to every single person who applies through Indeed, making sure the CEO has coffee once an hour, and cleaning water bottles and food wrappers off his desk. They say the extremely low entry-level wage is to ensure that those hired are willing to work their way up, but it's really a way to get people to work a crazy amount of overtime (which is absolutely mandatory). Asking questions or to observe others is discouraged and instead there is an outdated, overly wordy SOP binder with no truly helpful information. Digitize is very clearly a boy's club where the office staff is expected to cater to the senior employees.

Expect low pay, a bonus program that forgoes regular PTO policy to motivate you to never miss work to get a big bonus compensating you for the low wage, and long hours (with an odd company culture regarding overtime.. the logical conclusion to which is MOVING INTO A COMMUNAL HOUSE DOWN THE STREET FROM THE OFFICE..) There is rigorous pre-job testing, no job security, little to no asking questions regarding a task, and a high turnover rate. I have witnessed multiple people being let go due to the owner's belief that enough tough love will yield him a team of "alphas" (lol) The boss is a megalomaniac who revels in voicing his "radical opinions" on topics that are uncomfortable and inappropriate for a workplace, and his #2 is a narc who genuinely seems incapable of interacting with people in any way that doesn't reaffirm his power. They both think of themselves as "apart from the sheep" in a way that is frankly embarrassing to any mature, well-adjusted person. Working for small businesses in the face of big tech monopolies sounds like a moral endeavor. However, it is easy to forget that small companies can be the ego project of unprofessional, relatively obscure millionaires who have no idea how to treat others. Companies like this get excited at the prospect of gifted coders who are self-taught or have not completed school and do not have the degree, resume, or acumen to know the worth of their labor.
