Pros

The only good thing about this company is that I eventually got paid.

Cons

- Everything up until now was implemented cutting as many corners as possible so the whole platform is broken in countless ways. To do any actual work you need to fix everything broken that you need to rely on. - Salary not on time. - Breaking multiple laws and regulations. - Work not planned for more than two weeks.

Pros

The company is presented as a young and dynamic environment, at least from an external communication point of view.

Cons

Unfortunately, the internal reality is very different. Career progression mainly favors people who are close to management or who know how to please the right individuals, while meritocracy clearly comes second. Losing valuable employees does not seem to concern upper management at all. Many department heads lack experience and competence, which leads to constant issues, misunderstandings, and organizational problems that directly impact daily work and team morale. The company promotes itself as “young and dynamic,” yet hires employees over 60 whose experience does not appear to be properly assessed or effectively leveraged, creating a strong inconsistency between image and reality. Salaries are not competitive compared to the market. Salary increases and bonuses are very low and demotivating. Benefits are either almost non-existent or purely symbolic.
