Opportunities for juniors, but remote work is uncertain - Mid Software Engineer Ubiwhere Employee Review

The colleagues are talented and hardworking individuals.

Deceptive Hiring Practices: Management targets recent university graduates with the promise of "fully remote" or "highly flexible" work. However, the contracts are written with the office in Aveiro as the official workplace. The Switch: After you’ve settled in, the company has a history of suddenly demanding a 100% return to the office with almost zero notice. This forces employees to either move their entire lives to Aveiro immediately or face termination/resignation. Lack of Support: Despite the forced relocation, there are no relocation benefits, no salary adjustments for the change in lifestyle, and a complete lack of empathy for the personal toll this takes. Legal & Turnover Issues: This isn't an isolated incident. There is significant turnover and multiple legal disputes regarding these labor practices.

- The atmosphere among the team is very good. - Flexible schedule for unexpected needs. - People have a helpful culture. - The projects are interesting.

- There is no culture of implementing processes in the company; Each team/employee does things their own way; It is noticeable that the management has no experience in managing teams and processes. - Evaluations every 6 months are useless. Everything that is said just stays on paper, no action is taken. - The timetable is flexible, but watch out for overtime. Never accumulate overtime, there is an expiry date for using overtime (it's fair), this expiry date is stipulated by the company but it's not recorded anywhere and overtime is easily lost (obviously it's not paid). - The UI/UX salary at this company is currently below market at around 300 euros. The salary at this company includes vacation and Christmas bonuses in twelfths, which makes it seem like the same salary as the market but it's not. - The projects are interesting, but as the management is often inexperienced, some processes are bad and a lot of time is wasted on mistakes and doing things badly. - It's not allowed to grow up in this company. There is no transparency in the levels of progression within this company. Matters of salary and career progression are top secret between people. Management is not clear about how their employees can grow within the company. Overall, this company has shown itself to be a mediocre company that wants mediocre employees, on mediocre salaries. It’s only a good company to start.
