Good pay but stagnant salaries and poor management
Pros
- Salaries are quite good compared to local companies, but are stagnant and not keeping up with inflation. - Additional wellness days (4 per year) - Great colleagues (though in decline due to workload stress) - Can learn about many technologies if you're prepared to invest your own time and don't need or expect any guidance
Cons
- Management and leadership are pretty much useless (though friendly). Hardly any European leaders and US have no clue how things work on our side of the pond - Dreadful tooling makes doing job much harder than it needs to be and product is very complex - Don't expect to learn much beyond technology. No learning for specific job after onboarding unless you sign up for the informal mentoring program and then get a good mentor - Salaries on the decline as inflation rapidly erasing value. Not competitive against other international companies. - Company is penny pinching to the detriment of employees in every possible area (including cheaping out on yogurts recently), whilst US leaders' salaries increase by double digit % every year. - Employees under pressure to "understand" the need to economise, whilst being pushed to contribute to strong growth (25% YoY) and rewards for doing so constantly slashed - Watch out for the employee surveys. They trick you into giving your response and then days later they drop a new bombshell with the latest harmful-to-employees news (latest was 25% reduction in variable salary)
