Pros

The colleagues are generally friendly and very international environment. Remote working is a great plus.

Cons

The company doesn’t set employees up for sucesss. Everyone seems to want to sweep things under the rug and there’s a lack of harmony between the teams. There is a clear lack of strategy and leadership doesn’t motivate employees.

We sincerely apologize for the delay in responding to your feedback. We were in the midst of implementing some internal changes to enhance our communication with employees and former employees, which led to a backlog in response times. We appreciate your feedback and are grateful that you took the time to share your thoughts about your experience at Qwist. We take all comments, both positive and constructive, seriously, as they help us continuously improve and make our workplace better for everyone. We're pleased to hear that you found the work environment to be inclusive and international, and that remote working options were a benefit to you. However, we also understand that there were parts of your experience where you felt we fell short. Your concerns about a lack of strategic direction, harmony between teams, and leadership motivation are important to us. We acknowledge that, as our organisation evolves, new challenges arise. We are happy to share that we are actively working to address these issues and that over the past 6 months we reached significant improvements in alignment, clear strategy and communication, and employee engagement. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we wish you the best in your future endeavours.
