How leadership can ruin a company's potential

Pros

Really great and talented colleagues. The office in Aveiro is pretty nice. Space to grow IF you are eager to learn and chase opportunities (you won't get too far though unless you're willing to get paid very little to do a LOT).

Cons

Ubiwhere is a great example of how bad leadership can ruin a company's potential: -Management would rather let you go and hire a junior to do your work than really listen to what you have to say and improve processes and mindset. -They'll only care about what you think if you're a part of the inner circle. -There's little to no chance you'll get far in your career unless you want to be a project manager. -You'll be asked to do a LOT more than what you're paid to do and you'll get no recognition for your hard work from leadership. -Schemes, schemes everywhere. -When you leave the company, they don't pay you what you're entitled to — management would rather use the law against you and burn bridges than to keep a friendly relationship with those who are leaving.

Pros

Some really good colleagues and good office location

Cons

- Both CEOs treat their employees like garbage (I have heard and seen them literally insult some employees) - Responsible for HR discriminates based on nationality (heard her many times saying she wouldn't hire Brazilians) - Terrible work ethics: company and accountant commit countless frauds (seen them forge signatures, fake invoices, etc) - Cherry on top of the cake: when the COVID crisis started, they officially put their staff on lay-off in order to get subsidies from the government but kept them working full-time

Pros

-Great environment between colleagues. -Good place to learn if it is your first job (only worth staying for 1-2 years max).

Cons

-Low salaries. -Very few seniors in the company (difficulty to hire/keep due to low salaries and the established work processes). -You will likely work on multiple projects at the same time (especially if working on public and European tender projects), with very smalls teams (sometimes 1 or 2 people). -It feels like the company sends out proposals to as many projects as they can in the hopes of getting selected for some of them. Some projects are won with the lowest bid, but in reality the project was under budgeted. This results in a work environment of "doing the minimum necessary, as fast as possible" and "just enough for the partners/client to be satisfied so the company can get paid and move on to the next project". -The company relies on key people that have been there for many years to keep everything from falling apart. Preferably hiring people fresh out of university (easily replaceable) to make their work force instead of trying to retain talent or hire experienced people (more expensive). -When you deliver your letter of resignation, from that point on, you are treated like trash. This is where the company takes advantage of employing young people with little (and often none) prior work experience. (The following is especially important if you have been working at Ubiwhere for around 2 years or more) They will go to great lengths to trick you with the maths behind the final pay values AND into signing documents stating they owe you no money when, likely, that is not the case. If you don't sign, they won't pay you. You are left with the option of signing or having the trouble to get a lawyer involved. You should inform yourself near family, friends and the national work authority (ACT) and go for the latter option.
