Pros

Top leadership work very hard to promote the image of the company

Cons

Instead of fixing the things that employees have been complaining about for years now, we are told that everything is great and everything improving. After every big project is pushed through, leadership congratulate themselves. We actually had to sit through a meeting where we watched clips of senior management celebrating in Amsterdam "after all that hard work", during a time when we were still working full speed. Senior management aren't very self aware, and I don't believe they work half as hard as the rest of us do.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are going through a high-growth phase with a lot of new challenges at almost every step of the way and we could have made this far without the hard work and dedication of everyone working at Sympower. It is therefore important to also take a moment to celebrate the milestones we have reached in this journey and, as one of our values states, we are "achieving together" as one team. However, your view on this is important and we would like to hear and understand more about it so we kindly ask you to reach out to either your manager or the people team and plan a chat. Thanks!
