Pros

Great colleagues, the environment is positive and people are willing to help each other. The offices are amazing, with great views over the city.

Cons

Management is flickery. They change to often the strategy and protect to much certain former employees. The company has a unsustainable business model as well

Good corporate potential but sadly rotten in its core.

Pros

Nice offices and good perks. HR team very helpful and professional.

Cons

Processes are painfully slow, the company is light-years away from where they believe they currently stand, and the management team lacks very basic (but essential) qualities: people management skills, ability to offer continued training, identifying issues and driving efficiencies within the sales team, ambition, corporate vision, proactive attitude and encouragement when needed. There are a number of people in the wrong management positions who lack experience and skills required. A big shame.

Sexist managers, incompetent staff

Pros

Some of the people are great, nice location, salary is average.

Cons

Some of the managers are maybe the most incompetent people I have ever met, still they think they are awesome. It is almost funny. I actually think they went too far in pushing women to management positions. There is kind of a man-hating atmosphere. I am an equalist, not matter your gender or background, you should be judged on your skills and character. At Softonic there is a poisonous feminist trend. You will scare away talent just because they happen to be male.
