Bait and switch - told it was a Ux/Ui role - ended up being a production monkey for escrow - a business they acquired.

Shame

Pros

I can't really think of any reasons except like any job I am paid I guess.

Cons

I feel ashamed to work here. We are literally trained to manipulate and scam those that use the site. I have been told repeatedly to hide information in "hard to find" sections of the site in order to confuse users and promote unauthorised charges on credit cards etc. The company directors do not care in the least for the actual users of the site - they are happy to benefit while they can even though we are constantly reviewed extremely low on all tech / design sites. I am embarrassed to be here and am looking for other employment.
