Pros

I have been reading reviews for a long time since I have worked at this company for 5 years and it is surprising that if there are a couple of negative reviews, immediately positive reviews appear afterwards. It feels very suspicious. There is a good friendship environment between employees. Actually there was. The company shrink their operation quite a lot in Europe. They are focusing more on Asia since it is cheap and reviews at this webpage from Asian side doesn't reflect the true perspective of European offices.

Cons

The management makes poor decisions which reflects to employees in a negative way. The company has values which are not valued. Employees suffer monetary wise. There is always a misuse upon employees which decreases motivation. Basically, they exploit you as much as and as long as they can.

Pros

Good office location for public transport users. Work-life balance is quite ok. Employee free time activities

Cons

Company management has similar structures as in family-owned businesses. Management team is an old friend group which works together over 10 years. The management does not want to include any new members, they want to keep the same team even though the industry and leadership skill set evolve over time. This friend-group management limits the turnover growth and profit level almost to zero. The problem occurs as the management cannot implement any robust direction for the company. Unfortunately the lack of profitability directly causes the sharp decline in average earnings for every employee in the company.

Thank you for making the time writing the review. Building company growth is always lot of work, and whereas all our big countries in Europe have grown according to plans, whereas for some smaller business units not performing as expected after many years of operation, we have changed the plan. Do let us know if you have any questions further on the challenges you mention, since we believe to have been very open annually at the kick-offs how each of our markets are performing. We are happy to share that info again, in case you wish so.

Pros

It is a good company to start your career right after graduation because there are a lot of things to learn but I would not recommend to professionals with years of experience. Working environment and colleagues are generally nice people to work with.

Cons

There are many things to be mentioned but I will only share the most important ones below : - Salary is not good at all and getting your salary increased almost impossible. - You are relying on your bonuses but there has been sharp decline in bonuses too. - Some of the middle management can be considered as capable of management but unfortunately all other middle management members do not have necessary quality to be in that level because you always feel that they just do not listen. - Transformation of the tools or the systems are never managed well and they always push people to use some tools or systems which are not ready yet at all but on the other hand you have high target to achieve while struggling system errors. - Targets are always high and that makes employee stressed. - Employee turn over is incredibly high and they do not even try to keep them anyways. - Even though product owners are playing crucial role while creating the event product, sales teams are the ones who always seen as more important by the management because they bring money.
