Pros

The company has great potential and truly its biggest asset is its people. Always trying to make the best of the situation despite the companies toxic dynamic. Unfortunately the lack of professionalism at the CEO level makes it impossible to progress.

Cons

The company's biggest problem is the CEO and his dynamic with the COO & CTO (who also quit cause he couldn’t stand the CEO’s behaviour) The CEO asks for respect, responsibility and professionalism, but does not show the same to his employees. He is a person with a big micromanagement problem and does not know how to differentiate his professional and personal relationship with the employees. He expects people to be available 24/7 and does not respect employees' time off. My recommendation if anyone reads this is to not work for this company, they will sell you an experience completely different to the reality. And as for the company, for its own well being and of your employees… find a new CEO.

Pros

Some talented colleagues who genuinely care about their work. Occasional opportunities to learn on your own due to lack of formal training.

Cons

No Clear Direction or Protocols: Management fails to provide clear guidelines or expectations. This lack of structure leads to frequent errors that employees are blamed for, despite no training or support being provided. Delayed Payments to Suppliers: Constant delays in paying suppliers result in blocked orders and frustrated clients, directly impacting employee performance and client satisfaction. Discrimination and Unethical Practices: Evidence of discriminatory treatment towards employees, including unjustified disciplinary actions and dismissals. Micromanagement and Favoritism: Leadership is chaotic, with decisions often made based on personal bias rather than merit or logic. Some employees are penalized harshly, while others are allowed to coast. Outdated Systems: The company wasted significant resources (over €500,000) on implementing the wrong Salesforce version due to poor decision-making at the senior level. This inefficiency trickled down to the sales and logistics teams, adding to their burden. High Turnover and Poor Morale: Employees are frequently overworked and undervalued. Promises of bonuses and recognition are often broken or arbitrarily denied.
