Outdated and Out of Touch

Pros

20 minute walk to metro as no parking available anymore

Cons

Old-fashioned management who do not respond well to feedback with a tendency for deflection at the first sign of trouble rather than taking responsibility. This all trickles down to a low sense of morale in general. Very conservative and outdated mentality when it comes to flex time, so expect to work long hours. Overly hierarchical and no appreciation to their employees who bring value, which is not what you would typically expect from a startup looking to grow. Salaries are below industry, poor communication for such a small company, ill-defined roadmap and product release timelines often missed are just some of the other issues. They are so out of touch with reality that if you scroll through the reviews, you can find that they wrote 3 in a row on the same day in March to bring up their own rating. One can only imagine how low it would be otherwise. The other ones showing the actual experience from current and former employees reveal the true picture.

Pros

Improvements needed in every level of the organization

Cons

As there are several issues within the company, it is best to break them down in categories: A) Bad Leadership: -Executive leadership and upper management exhibit closed-mindedness and resists embracing necessary changes for improvement. Their approach is rigid and resistant to change, which hampers any progress. -Given various internal politics at play it is becoming increasingly necessary to exercise caution when addressing real issues due to the unpredictable moods and attitudes of executive leadership towards staff. B) Disregard Towards Staff: -The majority of hard-working employees are not adequately appreciated, while favoritism is openly displayed towards others. Diversity has been slowly decreasing while senior titles and promotions are given to the traditional group. -Investment in ongoing education for employees is minimal or nonexistent. -Compensation and benefits provided are not on par with other companies operating in similar sectors. -From what I hear from friends who work at other companies that have real flexibility in terms of work-life balance and working hours, this place seems to disregard or not care for the well-being of its employees. C) Organizational and Business Issues: -The company suffers from a serious lack of communication and cross-collaboration, and this prevents real progress. -Company struggling to gain any significant market share.
