Promising young company but HORRIBLE L24 APAC Management

Business outlook

Pros

- Great company benefits - Good pay - Work schedule is somehow flexible with an option to work remotely if needed - Small group with some professionally minded individual - Non-toxic job / work-life balanced is observed

Cons

- limited to none career opportunities APAC TL and SDD - a lot of miscommunication - they handle conflicts personally - they don't take feedback professionally - minimal to none support given to employees - inconsistent information between TL and SDD - unfair account distribution between Junior PMs and Senior PMs - never proactive with suggestions presented and keep blaming other hubs instead - most of the time, they only conduct 1:1 coaching when you're at fault or if they feel something is wrong - 2016 was a challenging year for everyone but it's very unprofessional for the management to start making assumptions that the company might shut down before the year ends and to start looking for better opportunities instead without keeping in mind the negative impact to other employees. - you can feel a huge gap between management and employees - a lot of awkwardness in the office whenever there are pressing issues - tells non-regular employees that their regularization is highly dependent on what she writes in their evaluation, although it is said as a joke, it does not set a good example to the team - we never get to evaluate both TL and SDD performance

CEO is a moody child!

Pros

Good co-workers Global opportunities Good business sector

Cons

Salary is lower than similar companies will generally offer. The CEO is the majority owner of the company and thinks he can run the business as he pleases, offending employees and treating them like garbage.

I’m very sorry to read this view, both personally and for the company. On the points raised: Lingo24’s history as a bootstrapped start-up meant the company was not in a position to pay market-leading salaries. Since we began professionalising the business and attracted significant investment for the next phase of growth, salaries and overall packages (including share options) have increased markedly and we are attracting more and more top talent. We have much, much stronger corporate governance and have a very experienced Senior Management team of nine professionals across all major functions. We also have market-leading proprietary technology, world class clients and a world class Chairman. Regarding my role as CEO, I think there is some truth in what you say. My most recent review highlighted the need to channel feedback through our management structure, and to pay more attention to communicating sensitively, particularly to grassroots Lingo-ists. I think I’ve made some progress, but know there is some way to go. Our Global MD runs the business day to day now, and I am engaged in meeting with important clients and strategic partners, and making sure that our company evolves ahead of client requirements. I’m also charged with defining and communicating our vision internally and externally. Here’s hoping my increased focus on these areas, along with the appointment of a very gifted management team, are the right steps along the path to making Lingo24 an ever stronger company.

We're all just hamsters in a wheel

Pros

Home office if needed. A few monthly benefits in amount of 100 lei. Medicover care. Loyalty month.

Cons

Looking at the PROs you might think "but that's good, I like that, what's the big deal about LIngo24?". The big deal is that you might like these benefits, but you might also wake up one morning without a job. Nobody is safe, so keep that in mind if you imagine you're special in the company. You are not, you're just a hamster in a wheel. Useless and impotent HR department. CEO is a champion at answering question by saying nothing, just empty words.

I am sorry to hear that you feel this way about being part of Lingo24. It is alway hard to make decisions that involve the restructuring of teams, but these decisions are sometimes necessary in order to keep an organisation on the right path. I had hoped that all the information I shared in communications, FAQ, follow up presentations, open Q&A etc., explained that these were of a strategic nature and therefore the related reassurances on further changes would have minimized such feelings. I am always open to specific feedback on my communications and about our HR team and would be happy to discuss. Andrew
