A very dishonest company - Senior Java Software Engineer Penguin Formula Employee Review

As mentioned on previous comments, like in any relationship, as we all know, a breakup is never easy. In these situations, emotions can speak louder and lead us to express ourselves in an excessive and untimely manner. All comments are respected with the conviction and, above all, with the awareness all that Penguin Formula has done and committed itself was to provide a good relationship with all its employees in an “open door” environment so that any situation could be debated. However, there are points that we must clarify to who consult this page. We try, as far as possible, to preserve a lasting relationship with our employees, for whom we have a deep respect. Are there any situations to improve? Most certainly there are, the company is the first to admit it. After all, like before mentioned, Penguin Formula is only 3 years old. We are faithful to our values and convictions, that we express in our commitment and dedication. We take pride in the exceptional work that is being developed by all, management team and employees. Every day we learn a little more and we do it together. We wish for understanding and discretion to those we also consider our family, even if we may be hurt. Respect and moderation have always characterized us. Nevertheless, there are situations that we care to clarify so that everyone can know from their own source and also, in a possible future, experience to live in first-hand what Penguin Formula is and does. About our contracts, and as per before mentioned, being truthful to the transparent company we aim to be, we display all our contract templates to any candidate at the offer stage, so they can be cleared regarding all doubts or questions that may arise, specially and precisely because the majority of our employees come from foreign countries. Mentioning we provide no support for our new joiners in terms of documentation is not accurate, as we even have a department created to provide all the practicalities related to documentation. Like indicated, we believe that is our part to provide support also to our employees life partners’ (and children) essential documentation. Still on the documentation topic, to state that the company does not assure A1 documents, which are essential to a secondment in a foreign country, it’s not correct as our seconded employees have currently their A1s emitted and on their possession. What could happen is that it could take some time when you need documentation from a Portuguese public organization. This response time is not controlled by the company, as you may understand.
