Pros
- Pleasant office environments across all locations.
- Organizing an annual company trip, which is appreciated by the majority of employees, although it is noted that those who have resigned are subsequently excluded from participation.
- Flexible working hours that support work-life balance.
Cons
I have gathered the following feedback based on extensive discussions with numerous employees. It's important to recognize that these viewpoints reflect a widespread sentiment among the teams and locations.
- Overemphasis on micromanagement throughout the organization.
- Inadequate or non-existent employee benefits.
- Issues related to the founder's management style, which some find unpredictable and emotionally charged, contributing to a toxic workplace environment.
- Management practices that are perceived as lacking in appreciation and fostering toxicity.
- Insufficient social security coverage and subpar working conditions, including limited sick leave compensation (80%)
- They claim there's no hierarchy between consultants and recruiters, but in reality, consultants often treat recruiters as personal assistants and do not appreciate their contributions.
- Recruiters' perspectives are disregarded here; consultants often assume they know best in all matters.
- Challenges with employee integration
- Exclusion of newcomers from the core group.
- Discrepancies between stated values and actual practices, particularly regarding hierarchy between consultants and recruiters.
- Many employees frequently face verbal reprimands and lack of respect from the management.
- Competitive and ego-driven behavior among consultants, hindering teamwork.
- Poor communication both internally and externally.
- Concerns about the lack of respect and recognition for recruiters and consultants.
- Exercise caution with your manager/supervisor, as they operate under the same roof and may exhibit the same lack of transparency and trust as the CEO.
- They attribute their behavior to "Latin culture," but it's not reflective of true Latin culture; rather, it stems from their own negative traits.
- Unfulfilled promises and abrupt changes impacting employees.
- Gossip and toxicity prevalent among staff.
- Overbearing micromanagement from the CEO and managers
- There is a noticeable lack of self-control and emotional unpredictability among leadership, which contributes to a turbulent and toxic work environment.
- Restrictive home office policies (Mondays & Fridays are not allowed)
- Trust issues with managers and supervisors.
- Concerns about the company's financial stability and ongoing viability.
- There has been a significant number of voluntary departures and some involuntary forced exits, which are concerning developments.
