FRVR Reviews

My experience at FRVR has been deeply disheartening. The lack of career progression opportunities, combined with ineffective leadership, has resulted in immense frustration. It feels like 90% of the time, the work we put in goes unnoticed or unused, leaving us questioning the purpose of our efforts.However, the most dismaying aspect of my time at FRVR has been the toxic and harmful behavior exhibited by the founder. Unfortunately, it is not an isolated incident; nearly every colleague has had a truly negative experience with this individual. Their detrimental influence casts a shadow over the entire company, hindering morale and stifling growth.Regrettably, the HR department at FRVR fails to fulfill its purpose effectively. Rather than being a support system for employees, they seem solely focused on hiring, with no regard for addressing concerns or providing a platform for employees to be heard. Shockingly, they engage in unprofessional behaviour, trash-talking individuals within the company and sharing sensitive information—a breach of trust that undermines the integrity of the organisation. Furthermore, the company has undergone two rounds of layoffs within a year, leaving little confidence in its stability and future. The chance of further layoffs seems too real, adding an additional layer of uncertainty and anxiety.If you prioritise career growth and a healthy work environment, proceed with caution when considering FRVR. The lack of opportunities for advancement, toxic leadership, unreliable HR practices, and the recurring layoffs make it a challenging place to thrive professionally.

- Although it shows a people-centric approach in several actions and employer branding activations through the recruitment process when we truly analyze what happens in the basic processes and decisions, we just see another corporate, top-down management company in their decision-making. - Doesn't have a clear structure, changing it from time to time with no clear strategy, bringing instability to people. - There's no transparency and all the company goals are vague and nonrealistic, showing no strategic thinking from high-level management as well as no connection with the teams when making the business goals. - Clear nepotism and even bias in recruitment for some situations. - Shady situations happening showing possible conflict of interests based on external and internal activities from some people in the company. - Major decisions are made without hearing people and teams overall. A lot of top-down decision-making, without respect for people's expertise and voice. - Teams have a lot of silos, not having a common communication, strategy, or effective collaboration. - The career development inside the company is shady, with no criteria, not having a specific system or fairly structured individual assessment. Although the company had the intention of creating it, the 3 people from the department of People and Culture associated with it presented their resignation in the last two months. - Salaries have big discrepancies and the criteria are shady and not understandable. - In the recruitment processes and for most people in the company it was presented an idea of company growth when the company was stagnated already for 2 years. - Layed off 25% of the company, as a surprise for most people, not showing a people-centric approach. The criteria for the people chosen were also not clear as well as the need to do it. A culture of fear was implemented in the last few months. Some people could feel something was wrong but didn't know what. - The layoff was presented in one meeting scheduled on the same day (no pre-notice or people preparation). At the end of the meeting, the CEO told that the ones who would be dismissed would receive an email 10 to 15 min after this meeting. People got shocked and in panic. In my opinion, this is not a people-centric approach to how to do things. To get things worst, many people who were dismissed were asked to leave at the end of that week with an agreement but they had to watch another meeting in this same week about FRVR future. At this meeting, in my opinion, no clear/realistic goals were presented considering the teams' structure, roles, and needs at the moment; and it was shown the intention to recruit people - including roles that were being dismissed at the moment, which is just uncomfortable for the ones who were still watching and were being dismissed. - A lot of people show a lot of quiet quitting at the moment and are looking for other jobs. There's a lot of demotivation.
