Pros
It's sad to say but there aren't any positive things about the company.
Cons
One of the worst cultures I have ever seen. Just to give you an insight, people don't say hello to each other and if you say hello to them they seem to be shocked that someone is talking to them or just ignore you. And if you think it's just an issue with the welcome in the morning, I need to disappoint you: no one talks and I'm not exaggerating. The whole office is so quiet that you might get the impression that someone has died, and everyone seems to be so depressed. But actually, it’s not surprising that people are depressed in this company, since the company provides zero benefits, even though it makes millions every single year. And the shocking thing is the company doesn’t even pay sick pay, …hello, it’s the 21st century and the company is in Europe. The really sad thing is that people accept these bad working conditions. But it’s a culture of micromanagement, close monitoring, keeping people uninformed, lots of managers who have no clue about modern management. Furthermore, flexible working hours are not permitted for “cultural reasons”. To add insult to injury, one of Watchfinder’s directors (CIO) arrives in a different car almost every day, usually in his Ferrari, and roars his engine to make sure that everyone notices. To boast like this in front of all the employees is rather sickening; especially considering the company doesn’t offer any benefits (low salaries and only 20 days holiday). Please be aware that the positive reviews from March 2019 are just fake reviews, HR wanted us to say something positive about the company because Richemont wasn’t happy about Watchfinder’s poor glassdoor ratings.
