Pros

Difficult to find some. Nice colleagues. Some nice managers trying to keep you up.

Cons

- Company in a downward spiral - Old products presented and sold as 'new' and 'innovating' - No HR management. - Undecided management, no one manager have competences to decide (or does not dare to take a decision). - Very slow decision process. Already 2 years and still no car policy. - Very fragmented management (none knows who's in charge for product choice or HR, just as an example) - the sales department is superior to all others - badly managed sales, with unexisting functionalities promised. - lies to customers and colleagues - one-way top-down communication, exchanges of views with management are impossible. - Culture and values published by the company are not applied in daily management. - No hope for salary upgrade, career or promotion, even with positive reviews. - More than 2/3 of the colleagues left the company in less than 30 months. More to come. Huge leak of knowledge. Office space will be reduced by half. - New recruits with no or only poor basic knowledge. No trainings. - the only thing that matters is the turnover. - Management is always right, even if it's proven wrong. - Well honed umbrella-technique

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
