Bad Bad Bad - Worst 6 months of my professional life - Senior Consultant Suisse Tech Partners Employee Review

The only positive aspect I can honestly mention is that salaries were paid on time.

The company is hostile towards its employees and constantly blames them for minor mistakes. Instead of receiving constructive feedback, employees are often scolded, pressured, and made to feel afraid. The work culture is based more on fear than professionalism. They occassionally tend to track employees down to the minute, which creates pressure and shows a lack of trust. Salaries are low compared to the competition in the job market, and the company does not offer fair compensation for the stress and workload. The CEO and CTO are extremely rude and hostile toward employees and colleagues. Their communication style shows a serious lack of emotional intelligence, professionalism, and basic understanding of human interaction. Their communication style is harsh, disrespectful, and demotivating. Employees are unfortunately taught to tolerate the scolding and fear caused by the CEO/CTO instead of being treated with basic professional respect. The company lacks proper management and real experience in management and consulting. There is no clear hierarchy in the development team or the business analyst team. Responsibilities are unclear, leadership is weak, and decisions often feel disorganized. The company also does not fully respect local labour laws in Kosovo. Employees are pressured to work overtime without additional pay, sometimes under threats of being fired. This is unacceptable and creates a toxic environment. There is no proper training in the company. The trainers are inexperienced, and new employees are not properly prepared. For a company that claims to be international, the English level is questionable. The colleagues in Kosovo are friendly, but overall the team is mediocre. Out of around 12–13 employees in Kosovo's office, only about 50% actually do real work, while the other 50% mostly just stays there playing games or try to "create work out of thin air". In my opinion, if the company laid off half of the staff in Kosovo, there would be no real difference in work completion. Meritocracy is an unknown term in this company. The people who get promoted are usually the most visible ones, basically the bootlickers, not necessarily the most competent or hardworking employees. The company’s biggest obstacle is its current management. If the CEO, who is the sole owner, were to sell the company to people with real leadership and management experience, it could easily grow to become a billion dollar company. Instead, poor management, weak structure, and lack of professionalism keep it operating like a startup.

Lack of structured onboarding and support for new employees. Expectations and priorities changed frequently without clear communication. Limited coaching and guidance during the probation period. Management style perceived as overly critical towards clients and employees Decision-making processes lacked transparency.
