Giga-toxic place to work

Pros

Job Security. Pleasantly designed campus. Valuable experience to be gained as a starter job in IT. Free internet.

Cons

Zero psychological safety. Incompetent people managers who do not have an idea which direction anything is headed, complete lack of transparency and trust. Nepotism. Promotions are issued based on tenure and not capability. Compensation vs employee expectations is laughable and bordering on criminal. Lower-level employees, no matter how skilled or driven, are often publicly treated like scum by higher level employees. Speaking out against unethical behaviour will see you silenced or threatened. Beneath the fake smiles and forced happiness are a haggard army of yes men and women. Zero team cohesion and little to no innovation. Afrihost hires people to follow orders, not to think for themselves.

Pros

At the forefront of all things telecommunications and internet services. Company provides a ton of products free of charge (fibre, mobile data, etc)

Cons

Company tries to be non-corporate, but ends up being too big and diverse that departments constantly butt heads and animosity prevails. Management does not have a clear sense of what goes on underneath the "happy" facade that the company tries to maintain. Accounts - Just does, no thinking ahead Development - No consistency or intuitiveness Server Administration - Lackluster team cohesion Branding - Isolation from rest of company Client Services - Absolute joke, but then again what can you expect getting paid peanuts
