Toxic workplace and worst attitude towards employees I've ever seen - Senior Software Engineer Payhawk Employee Review

Thank you for providing detailed feedback on your experience at Payhawk. Indeed, we are proud to have remarkable R&D professionals onboard. We cherish their immense effort and invaluable contributions to our product. Their dedication and innovation drive our success. We wanted to clarify that only a very small fraction of our R&D team decided to leave voluntarily in 2023 (you can count them on one hand!). We strive to maintain a highly talented, motivated and collaborative workforce. As a result we spend a long time looking for the right people and monitor performance against a transparent framework to ensure all employees maintain a similar standard. We believe this is necessary to maintain our high-performing culture. We conduct regular employee surveys to help managers improve based on employee feedback. These surveys are anonymous to make it easier for individuals to provide candid feedback. In addition, we promote “Radical Candour” as one of our company values. It is a communication model that emphasizes both caring personally and challenging directly to build solid and effective relationships. We hope it encourages employees at all levels to provide and receive open feedback. We are an office-first company because we consider it to be an important part of our culture, and an important ingredient to help us grow and solve problems quickly together. However, we also understand that there are times when the flexibility to work outside of the office is valuable. That’s why we provide the following four benefits: 1) Work From Home (WFH): Employees are allowed to work from home for four days per month. 2) Exceptional WFH: Managers can grant additional work-from-home days in exceptional cases (e.g. family reasons, transport issues). 3) Work from Anywhere (WFA): Employees have 12 days per year to work from anywhere in the world. 4) Hawks and Travel: Employees can spend 1 week per year in another Payhawk office of their choice, with a budget paid by Payhawk of up to 1800 EUR. Finally, in addition to the feedback provided above, I would appreciate the opportunity to have a more in-depth conversation with you to understand your experience and concerns about the culture. Such feedback is very important to us. Please feel free to reach out via people-partners@payhawk.com
