Unprofessional company.

Pros

I got a mobile phone charger.

Cons

Organisation is nonexistent from management. Help is not provided to new starters (sink or swim). There is no help or structure to this team. I verbally told my manager and HR that I was pregnant only to be let go two days later. I was not informed by the company directly that I was let go, a colleague of mine asked me why I was deleted off all the work systems to which I had no knowledge of. I am still waiting for a response three weeks later. They also lied and tried to justify the dismissal by accusing me of being out of the country when I was in the country and at a hospital appointment for a check up on my pregnancy. No value for human rights in this company at all. Avoid at all costs!! Salary is extremely poor compared to the work load provided, you may believe you are signing a 20k contract but you will never earn that amount. The job is painted fantastic but I can assure you that is not the case.

Hi, I know that you have reached out to connect with Ian and are in discussions with our People Team. You absolutely were not dismissed because you were pregnant but this is not the forum to have these discussions. I'm sure we can resolve your concerns but through the appropriate channels. Thanks Ryan

Pros

Many nice people work here, partnership with LinkedIn e-learning

Cons

People are treated like kids, system is terrible, work 7-days straight every two weeks, website tries to fool customers, people are fired for apparent no reason, there is a fear in the air in the office, compliance on the phone is strict, while in the website is okay.

Hi thanks for your feedback although I am disappointed with your rating and what you have to say, feedback is always welcome. In fact hopefully you will be aware that the management team in Barcelona have been holding focus groups with all colleagues over the last couple of weeks. Also our new Head of People for Customer Service was also Out there last week and spent time talking and listening to colleagues. I'm also sure you will have heard that we have stopped the 7-day working pattern in response to feedback so there is a real example of listening in action. I hope you see more things that would improve your opinion over the coming weeks - Ryan

The Ninja Story

Pros

Food, juices, nice toilets, nice office, some nice people. I can't think of anything else nice to put here, just filling in for the 20 word minimum requirement.

Cons

Hotel Ninjas was acquired by B.com and after 7 months the company was shutdown, mainly because they bought Buuteeq, an US company, that had a similar product. It has a lot to do with politics also. The Hotel Ninja team was the best team of people I have ever worked with, they could of built any product with very high standards. But B.com instead of reusing the team they fired them, only to hire some of them back afterwards. B.com sells itself as a startup spirit company, but in practice it is not. It is a massive company that is only driven by profits and bulling. From a technical point of view the technology is not appealing, the core of the system is written in Perl and MySQL for persistence. The code base is massive, and the only way they can keep it going is by hiring gurus from the Perl and MySQL communities. I was not impressed by what I saw and by how we were treated.
