Inspiring workplace

Pros

+ I love to be surrounded truly passionate people who believe that everything is possible. Inkitt has a "friendly competitive" environment. You're constantly going out of your comfort zone and growing. + The fact that it's a small team (currently about 15 people), there is absolutely no bureaucracy which gives a lot of freedom

Cons

The hours are much longer than any job I have worked in. But I guess it's gonna change as we continue hiring

Stress-Inducing Nightmare with Incredible Teamwork

Pros

One thing about Inkitt is they know how to hire a remarkable team. I can't think of one person in my time at the company that could be considered uneducated or unmotivated. Everyone you meet on every team is driven and well-versed in multiple skillsets and facets of the business. The team Inkitt has (or had) at my time at the company was the best. The people alone make the company, it's a shame Inkitt doesn't seem to prioritize them.

Cons

Middle management is ruining this company. The sink or swim dynamic that drives most individuals within the team causes creative strangulation and burnout (not to mention they're trying to remove all creative elements of the company and replace it with AI). The lack of actual people management from the individuals expected to manage teams is toxic and horrific for company culture. Minimal opportunities for bonuses and next to know room for career growth. Managers often take credit for their teams successes and rarely acknowledge wins or offer support and congratulations to those deserving. Bonuses are offered to recruiters who can keep employees at the company for more than a year. Average tenure at the company is maybe 5 months? And that may be pushing it. The culture is toxic, the CEO requires a team of yes-men that can't drive the company forward. Loyalty is expected but never returned. People are undervalued and under-prioritized, and if you're not killing yourself to beat out your counterparts at the company, you're fired. At the end of it all, I felt guilty to anyone I hired in my time at Inkitt, because nearly everyone felt trapped or was already fired by the time I departed. Personally, I think a lot of the good reviews published under current employees are being offered some type of pay out to improve their ratings. If you are considering working at Inkitt, please reach out to past employees to get a true feel for the company culture and expectations.

Pros

The paycheck arrives on time, and a few decent coworkers make the misery slightly easier to bear.

Cons

-Working here feels like being trapped in enemy territory where every move is watched and every mistake is weaponized. -Respect and honesty do not exist in this company. The leadership thrives on control, manipulation, and fear instead of teamwork. -The atmosphere is suffocating, filled with tension and distrust. People whisper to avoid being targeted, and meetings feel like ambushes rather than discussions. -Speaking up or sharing honest opinions is treated as an act of rebellion that gets punished immediately. -Management operates with pure deceit. Promises made during hiring vanish the second you start working. -Fair treatment is nonexistent, and transparency is a complete joke. Promotions, raises, and discipline are handled in secrecy and favoritism. -Certain individuals get away with anything, while others are publicly shamed for small mistakes. -Watching talented, hardworking people leave while unqualified, arrogant ones rise in infuriating. -The upper staff are a perfect blend of arrogance and ignorance. They talk about teamwork and innovation, but act like tyrants. -Feedback is crushed, and creativity dies under the weight of constant threats and retaliation. -The fear of becoming the next scapegoat keeps everyone silent and complaint. -Morale is shattered beyond repair because no effort, no matter how great, is ever recognized or rewarded. -The workplace feels less like a company and more like a prison for your spirit. -The stress never ends, and manipulation becomes so normal that you almost forget what fairness looks like. -Leaving is a relief but also a painful reminder of how much this place drains your confidence and dignity. If you value your self-respect and sanity, stay far away. No paycheck is worth enduring the cruelty and deceit that define this company.
