Pros
At Novum they pay salary in time, every month. Never a problem in 2 and a half year. All very transparent, over time is paid punctuality, same as the bonus on performance. HR is always willing to help and assist and they do a really good job. Health insurance, Friday drinks, company events, xmas party, coffee, tea, water, milk, bread, fresh fruit, are assured on a daily basis.
Cons
To resist in such an environment you either have an inner iron armor, or you are a natural born servant. No other options to survive long at Novum. Training is non existent. Half a day and that's it. It's the learning by doing technique, but mistake are not admitted. Paradox. I saw people got fired really not in a nice way, or, people resigning after 3 days, or resigning in a range between 1 and 3 months! I counted the colleague I had in 30 months...the people "passed by"...at least 40. I remember names and surnames by heart, so it's not an exaggeration it's the true. After 14 months I was the oldest in a team of 15. Build your opinion based on numbers, since is a bank were talking of! "Team lead in sales is not a natural leader, not up to the task. Dictatorship. Kills the joy of working, and has only one voice, yelling." Is what my ex colleague said in his review. His words are still actual in 2020 and describe the situation perfectly. The atmosphere you breath is made of fear and/or submission. It's a disgusting environment. I saw more tears at Novum than I saw during all my childhood. Tears from leaders who are supposed to encourage but are actually fragile and therefore over agressive (incapacity to lead), and tears from employees being a humiliated almost on a personal level for a work mistake. Absurd, unrealistic environment. Choose another company even if they offer 10% less salary. You wont regret it, and certainly have more growing opportunities.
