Hi, our dear ex-colleague,
I am the CEO of the company. Thank you for sharing the feedback. It would have helped if you stated the team you worked in. In-house linguists? Human resources? Project Managers? Software developers? Sales and Marketing? Administration and Finances? Quality Assurance Engineers? Freelance linguists? In which country, in which office? We are a medium size company of ~80 in-house people in Sweden, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Ukraine and projects are different depending on your role: http://bit.ly/2tkcKcE
POSITIVE OUTLOOK. I feel good that you rated the general outlook towards our company as “Positive“ in this system. You also would recommend Synergium to others as “a friendly place“ and “a lot to learn“. Thank you for trying to maintain objectivity and noticing the things that we are already doing well, it is motivating!
ABOUT MONOTONOUS PROJECTS. Thank you for showing what needs to be improved. I am sorry that at the beginning, it was “a lot to learn“, but it became monotonous after first year and we did not notice that on time. While we cannot promise a big career jump after one year, we definitely could have given you other interesting projects to work on. Did you tell about your needs to your manager? If not, then you missed your chance to exercise your part of responsibility.
ABOUT SOME PERSON COMPLAINING. You wrote that you also heard some person complaining about a colleague. I agree with you 100% that gossiping is a bad habit. I support the following scenario: it is normal to have some negative feedback about some behavior of your colleague or boss time to time, but we should always tell that information directly to that related person, not to other colleagues (in a constructive and helpful form as we want a positive change, after all). What can I do as a manager? I should show good example of such brave behavior myself (I am not ideal).
Once again, thanks for feedback, it was helpful, as you mentioned very concrete things, feedback was not vague.
I appreciate the feedback, as I want that my colleagues work in a better and better environment. They are really awesome and hardworking, because of them we got an award in prestigious Technology Fast 50 rating of the whole Central Europe (the official link from government website http://bit.ly/2oKx2sL , or read the longer text about the award ceremony in London Tower http://bit.ly/2D0FgzJ ).
