      Sad and Disappointed

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      I decided to make this review after some colleagues made me aware of this platform. I jointed Active Space in 2014 and I had a very good experience during the first 2 years. Unfortunately most of what made it good is long gone, but some positive notes remain: - Some very good projects with opportunities to learn - Very decent facilities, equipment and tools - Some key personnel can be role models (if they don't quit in the meantime) - Management does not enforce a rigid working schedule

      Cons

      - Amateurish managers and owners with no values or principles (they only understand money) - Management seldom keep their word (especially when it involves money) - Abusive and borderline illegal HR practices - HR "management" is non-existent. No training, no programmed career evolution, LOTS of overtime - Customer and supplier interaction is shameful (if you value your reputation in the market, avoid this company) - No respect for the workers who bust themselves working for over 10h/day! - People quitting the company (or being fired by stupid reasons) EVERY MONTH. In the meantime, people who should have been fired are still there.

      Just another "tech" sham

      Electronics engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good equipment and facilities and some interesting projects. For such a small company, this is very positive. Solid marketing and image culture. Flexible hours. Good environment between most colleagues

      Cons

      This company is another portuguese sham: pretty from the outside, ugly from the inside. Despite a big change in management recently, things are not better, they are even worse. People will keep leaving and the company will loose its competitive edge (if it had one in the first place!). HR management is ridiculous and they are completely clueless about very basic things.

      Cash cow

      Development engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good interpersonal relationship between engineers. Some projects are cool - if you get to work on them.

      Cons

      The company is basically a cash cow for the owners. It is supported mainly by public funds and no importance is given to employees. The highest employee turnover rate that I have ever seen. As another reviewer pointed out, the company survives by exploiting employees' work during off-hours. Quality is an afterthought, not an objective.
