European Dynamics reviews about "bad management"

No guidance whatsoever from senior developers or team leaders. There’s a complete lack of mentoring or support. Leadership is ineffective, unapproachable, and unwilling to take responsibility or communicate. Many senior employees lack even basic technical knowledge, which increases the workload for others. The only priority is to deliver work as fast as possible, regardless of quality or employee well-being. No recognition, no career growth, no raises, and no bonuses. Periods of extreme and unreasonable workload are common. Very poor project management — unrealistic timelines and unclear deliverables are the norm.

- team management is ok although very vague in their requirements sometimes. Learn how to manage people pls - upper management, especially Velentzas, the CEO, is a joke when it comes to structuring teams, we were severely understaffed and they totally forget about your department if you are not IT - Tools are extremely outdated and legacy, probably the oldest ones I have seen because they are too cheap and lazy to buy newer ones. Open source software from 2007 for a contract management system is ridiculous and Velentzas should be ashamed of himself. Do NOT let them fool you in the job descriptions that they use new tools, it is a lie - career pretty much flattens after one role upgrade, no wonder talented people leave after 2-3 years. - there had been a lot of firings lately with no good justification.

Tight and strict deadlines with pure management team.

Poor management and reliance on consultants for requirements engineering Work-life balance can be challenging during certain periods Lack of structured training or professional development opportunities Salary increases are provided, but job titles and career progression may not reflect your actual responsibilities

Mentally toxic environment: Management doesn’t care about developers — at all. There’s no feedback loop, no appreciation, and certainly no raises. People are treated like resources, not professionals. Overwork is normalized and illegal: Expect to work at least 9 hours a day, sometimes more, with no overtime pay. There’s constant pressure to deliver fast, even when the codebase is broken and there are no tools to help you succeed. Zero engineering practices: No testing pyramid, no real code reviews, outdated and monolithic architecture. The motto is: just get it out, no matter how bad it is. Junior-heavy, senior-light: Most teams are built on junior devs with no mentorship. You’re either stuck or used until you leave. Promotions? Nonexistent. Raises? Haven’t seen one in years. HR red flags: You’re asked to sign non-compete clauses and NDAs upon exit. Some reviews here feel obviously fake or forced — probably written under pressure, which tells you a lot. No culture, no support: Everyone’s fending for themselves. The environment fosters quiet panic — people leave silently and no one talks about why.

The second project I was not suffered in management and it was a mess, it was the reason I left

They Dont support the employee, if you need any help from management team, you are alone
