You are not a person here. You are a resource to be drained, a machine to be kept running. Zero respect, zero recognition, zero humanity.
Compensation is a joke. The company brags about “competitive packages” but what you get is well below industry standard—especially considering the workload and constant pressure. Bonus? Promotion? Raise? Good luck. Merit means nothing here.
Your manager might be someone who was hired five months ago and somehow got promoted just because they knew the right person.
Nepotism is the default. Competence is irrelevant. Ladders are for the favored, not the skilled.
You can easily end up reporting to someone who doesn’t know how to open a spreadsheet, let alone lead a team.
HR is intrusive and borderline abusive. They will hound you for system errors they don't understand, assume you're underperforming, and never bother to actually learn what your job is.
Performance reviews are a farce. People who don’t know what you do will judge how well you do it.
There are no career paths here. You are either handpicked by someone above, or you rot in place.
This company survives off of brand inertia. If this company was founded today with this management and structure, it would collapse in a month.
They use offshore contracts to avoid legal consequences, and if they had to follow EU labor laws, they'd be bankrupt from lawsuits alone.
The culture is toxic. Arrogance at the top, silence in the middle, and exhaustion at the bottom. Everyone's replaceable. No one’s respected.
