      Inadequate management, chaotic organisation

      Pros

      - not too much pressure - some interesting clients - many great colleagues

      Cons

      - politics thrive in the company. You have to have no ethical boundaries in order to build a career. - There is no focus on the technical skills. Soft skills are the dominant factor in order to level up, although most of the employees are engineers. - The assesment procedures are never taken into consideration, even if someone has explicitly positive reviews from the customer and the colleagues. You might even see people with many negative reviews being promoted out of the blue. - All processes are very clumsy and improvised. From trainings to hr management and also payments. - its very difficult to pass your personal opinion to the upper management, as there are specific people who operate as blockades and present a non realistic perspective of the situation. - the values that the company claims to have are not respected by the middle management.

      We dream to be an environment where we, Tech Professionals, will evolve and grow, through experiences in global organisations, and we will continuously practice and learn new technologies and behaviours that will make each of us effective and satisfied. Agile Actors is an ecosystem of people that believe and actively practice our values and professional coaching. These values are being cultivated by our members. There is no middle management. There are coaches and coachees. A senior Tech Professional may be the coach of 3 or 4 junior or intermediate Tech Professionals. These professionals most of the times do not work in the same team with their coach, thus their relationship can be more open. We grew from a few dozen people to more than 300 in less than four years, and although we put most of our investment and efforts in learning and coaching, we certainly get better and better as time passes by, and we practice how to unlearn and learn technologies but more importantly behaviours. This ecosystem is getting more and more self adjusted, and the leadership of each member can certainly influence it, and evolve it to an appropriate place for people with similar needs. It happens that some of us may practice coaching with limited success for a period of time. Our main focus is how to reduce these incidents, and how to evolve to a more effective ecosystem. Many of the improvements we’ve achieved until now stemmed from the leadership of people that were going through difficulties similar to the ones you have experienced. Through proposing, influencing, and leading, you make this place more appropriate for you, and also for people that have similar needs to yours.

      Trying too hard to be different, with limited success.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Solid CV entry - Pays on time - Lots of talented colleagues - Some opportunities to learn, depending on the customer/project, mostly for less senior professionals.

      Cons

      - Disregard for 'traditional' company functions and roles. - Chaotic employee evaluation system. - Lots of politics, lack of transparecy and merit. - Middle managment putting their personal interests above the teams they lead. - Uncompetitive and sometimes unfair remuneration - Limited business development resulting in few opportunities to switch projects.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good for entry level developers just starting their career

      Cons

      - Bad people at high positions (chapter leads) - Expendable developers - You might be lucky with the client you'll be placed at but if not, then no one is there to support you. Once placed in the client, they don't exist apart from some events that they place in your calendar so that you do not completely forget they exist - Bad salary - The coaching system is bad, they use other developers to place as your "managers" to avoid the expense of hiring actual people for that position and that doesn't work well - Raise is a joke and takes too long to be applied - Overall company feels like a proxy to a client but doesn't really contribute much, just take a portion of your money without adding value - People in high positions are like a small family and do what they want so they are hard to replace even if they don't do their job well or have a bad attitude

      Firstly, we would like to thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Our main goal is to provide an environment of choice for tech professionals who are equal members of both the Agile Actors team as well as the customers, receiving support and guidance from the former and implementing newly acquired skills and knowledge, resulting in high quality deliverables for the latter. We determine our success referring to numerous factors, but the most important would be the engagement and closeness of our professionals to our organisation. We are striving and working daily to cultivating a safe space for our tech professionals within the Agile Actors ecosystem, through various practices and initiatives. Our coaching and feedback models, for instance, have been designed and implemented in close collaboration with our professionals in order to ensure the most optimal ways of working for everyone on the team. It is an ongoing process which we are always looking to better and improve, something which would not be possible without your input and feedback. Having been with us for a significant period, you must already be aware of the numerous open communication channels in place, both anonymous and not, that we would like to encourage you to take advantage of in order to discuss your issues in further detail and come to a solution that best fits your needs, whether it be a coaching reassignment or an internal move to a new account. In addition to the available tools and platforms, there are specialised roles such as the focal points per Chapter, as well as our Coaching and Engagement advocate, who are a point of reference for issues faced such as the ones you have mentioned. Being advocates of knowledge sharing and coaching amongst peers, we are a flat organisation that does not have a hierarchical structure nor the traditional roles of “managers”, whether it being on a coach level or Chapter leader roles, but we rather try to cultivate a diverse and inclusive culture of support, that is the foundation of professional continuous growth and development. Via our coaching model and servant leadership core practices, we strive to make our professionals the driving force behind your success, setting your preferred pace and following your individual development plan. It is of extreme importance to us that this is conveyed and experienced by each of our professionals, and we will continuously try to improve on this.
