Very Bad experience - Recensione dipendente - Film Maker presso ASTUDIO

I am a filmmaker in the UAE with seven years of experience, during which I have collaborated with many bands and advertising agencies. www.linkedin.com/in/ebin-mjose-62a84a30 My time at Astudio has been nothing short of a nightmare, and I feel compelled to share the reasons behind my decision to leave. Amateurish Work Environment: Astudio claims to be a professional video production company, but my experience suggests otherwise. Throughout my tenure, it became evident that there was a severe lack of video production work. The company have finger counting clients for social media projects, which hardly provided the kind of experience and exposure I was promised. Visa Processing Nightmare: Astudio's visa processing system is a complete mess. What's worse, upon joining, we were coerced into signing a non-offer letter agreement that stipulated if we resigned, we would be responsible for covering the expenses of the visa processing. This was an unfair and unprofessional practice. Toxic Colleague Environment: The work culture at Astudio is incredibly toxic. Colleagues were consistently rude and non-adjustable. It was an environment that fostered hostility rather than collaboration and teamwork & raging too same like college times Unprofessional Boss: The main role in an ad agency is the Creative Director, but it seems that they are deviating from their primary responsibilities by acting like an IT person and introducing software & no creativity direction. His behavior was nothing short of appalling. He displayed a complete lack of professionalism, often treating employees like slaves. His rudeness and disrespect for the team were intolerable (personal experience) No Compensation Upon Resignation: To add insult to injury, if an employee chose to resign, Astudio had a policy of not providing any compensation or benefits accrued during their working days. This further discouraged and demoralized employees who were already enduring an awful work environment. Lack of Technical Knowledge: Astudio boasted about staying updated with industry standards and equipment, but in reality, the company lacked the technical knowledge and competence needed to fulfill this promise. Efforts to update standards and equipment were superficial at best. Overall Lack of Integrity: My experience at Astudio has left me with the impression that the company lacks integrity. The promises made during the hiring process were empty, and the reality of the workplace was a far cry from what was advertised. In conclusion, my time at Astudio has been nothing short of a disastrous and demoralizing experience. I believe that the issues I've highlighted are indicative of a deeply dysfunctional and unprofessional work environment. It is with a heavy heart and a desire for a better professional life that I have chosen to resign from Astudio.
