Pros
The salary is fairly reasonable.
Cons
Etergo is hands down the worst workplace I have ever had the misfortune of experiencing. Leadership and a large part of the staff are embarrassingly unqualified and some proved to be quite immoral. Any skilled professionals who have crossed Etergo's threshold have left just as promptly as they entered, either because they are too sensible to tolerate such appalling working circumstances or because the CEO or some insecure employee felt threatened by them and decided to play the false rumours game. Staff retention isn't exactly Etergo's strong suit, but people are considered expendable there and treated as such. The CEO is verbally abusive to the staff and takes advantage of his position to intimidate and bully employees. His business decisions are based on whim and ego rather than the best interest of the company or the customer. Not to mention how rude he is to external parties such as suppliers whom he feels he has power over. He demands unreasonable things from staff, irrelevant to their job description, business sense or logic. People are made to spend months fulfilling these demands only to have the CEO change his mind for no professional reason and he blames said employee for having worked on what he himself demanded of them in the first place. He micromanages everything without any knowledge or experience in the field and rejects input from the specialists. Furthermore, the CEO constantly takes credit for other people's work, as do some others who are idle while others work abnormally long hours. Business planning, project management and company goals are like the Code of the Pirate Brethren - more guidelines than anything. Not even that actually, since they change from minute to minute. Flexibility is one thing, treating work like your personal power trip is another. The CEO openly bragged about decisions which are unethical and became almost violently aggressive if anyone raised objections. Most people are too afraid to speak at all and anyone who does is quickly eliminated. The rotten apples amongst the staff have worked out their survival techniques and just prey on others as that seems to be the example they are given from above. Some even wrote some positive reviews on Glassdoor to win points with the CEO after he told the staff they need to do so to balance out the negative (honest) reviews. Just seeing the number of job vacancies and ex employees on LinkedIn at any given moment tells the story, no reviews needed. If you find yourself looking at a job opening at Etergo do yourself a favour and keep on looking. It is not worth your time or effort. Skills, knowledge and basic human decency are not wanted there, neither will you find them.
