Pros
You will meet a lot of new colleagues during your short stay at the organization.
Cons
For all Investors, potential employees and customers, please see the true situation at Trakomatic. Trakomatic is a small start-up with an extremely toxic culture. The organization is run by three highly unprofessional & egocentric founders who treat employees quite poorly (absolute servitude). As soon as an employee joins the organization, you are involuntarily added to several WhatsApp groups; ‘one to one’ communication is conducted on these groups till late night. You are constantly monitored for your whereabouts (even at lunchtime), employees are made to work late hours (most days end at 9.00 pm), staff work to exhaustion, are famished and are not allowed to leave the office till the unreasonable deadlines are met. Post the office hours, you are interrogated on Whatapps, it is quite normal for the management to ask for work around midnight requiring morning submission (including working over the weekends). The COO is a true con artist, 90% of company departures are attributed to his workplace harassment (he constantly raises his voice, insulting & degrading employees, publicly), no one hired as part of his team has stayed with the company. He has no knowledge of the products, is a sub-standard manager, poor salesman & quite a repulsive human being. He will constantly lie to clients & will not stop talking during external and internal meetings. His organization skills are legendary, he organizes all the wrong information in proper excel sheets, which everyone MUST fill. He should be reported for his employee harassment (his occasional mental instability & resulting behavior) to the relevant authorities. The CEO lacks intellect; this is the second company he is virtually running down. He will constantly ask the same questions again and again (which he fails to comprehend & claims he has answers to every question), he will constantly push for documentation, first on excel, then on word and finally on PowerPoint. He is ‘at best’ a poor manager with no leadership skills & vision. He is party to COO's & CTO's employee treatment & should be held responsible for the Managements behavior; standing quietly like a coward while hardworking employees are mistreated shows his leadership acumen. The CTO is another inept IT manager, he can't develop any products (even the core technology is external & does not work), He will often manipulate data to please clients (& use client data without authorization, including recording videos & distributing externally), suffers from severe rage issues, he does not understand AI or any Data Technology. He is another slave driver & will demand work from employees over the weekends. Apart from his internal issues, he will cheat the external vendors by stalling projects & not paying for contracted outsourced work. It's well known, all the positive Glassdoor feedback is written by forcing existing employees & by the COO himself. Overall, the company is badly run with a depressing environment & shrunk to a handful of employees. Investors, potential recruits, vendors & customers should stay away; the three founders will rob you of your capital, careers, your payments & data. Not a workplace for any self-respecting educated professional.
