Great employees, the rest not so much.

Mid software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great people to work with. - 10% day to use time to learn things for yourself. - XP programming and good DevOps structure

Cons

- Hard to have conversations with HR. Rules exist just because. - Overall package is lacking (no work from home benefits for example) - Not willing to publish salaries or salary bands just because they would have more work because of it. - Can't work remote inside the country without 2 weeks notif. Can't work remote outside the country at all. - No local manager, every manager is in London and that creates a feeling of almost outsourcing in the Lisbon office. - Overall there seems to be no trust in employees.

Work/Life balance and team are great, HR is horrible

Senior quality analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- You work, you get payed. If you don't like to engage with your company, this is great for you. I hope you like outsourcing work. - Clear and detailed career progression - Mature and skilled colleagues, a pleasure to work with - Great work/life balanced, flexible work hours (don't tell HR!)

Cons

- Stingy company: boasts about incredible revenue increase, yet doesn't improve package (salary + perks) - Cold company: there's no attachment, no office vibe. Feels like contractor work, minus contractor salary - HR exists to keep the company happy and the "employsheeps" controlled - HR is inflexible and blindly follows the process, regardless if it makes sense - HR hides salary bands, limits internal discussion, and lied a couple of times - If you put in extra effort, you get no reward - Lots of managers, few actions and slow decisions - Few irrelevant perks

Low pay, constant cost cutting, and uncaring management

Publishing editor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Wonderful colleagues, and a generally tolerant and modern work environment

Cons

In my time in this role I have been continually shunted between different projects and teams, making it impossible to properly adapt to my job. The training has been poor, the regard for my wellbeing non-existent, and above all the salary is appalling for a company making as much revenue as it does. Furthermore, senior managements drive to relentlessly cut costs (including making large scale sweeping redundancies in the midst of a global pandemic) betray something deeply concerning in my opinion. If you wish to get into academic publishing based on a love of science and research, this is not the place for you. I seriously urge anyone considering this employer to reconsider.
