Toxic workplace

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Cant find any pros recently.

Cons

There are too many managers who lack a basic understanding of how the business operates. Decision-making is unclear and often ineffective. Management provides little to no support—questions are frequently met with pushback rather than guidance. At times, accusations are made without proper validation or investigation, creating a culture of blame rather than accountability. Town halls are consistently focused on terminations, restructuring, and adding more tasks instead of improving or automating processes. Employees are terminated abruptly, often without notice, with their responsibilities immediately reassigned to remaining staff. There are serious concerns around NDAs that appear to conflict with European labor laws. The work environment is highly toxic and makes burnout very easy. Acquired companies, in particular, seem to be pushed toward rapid burnout as part of workforce cost optimization strategies. Overall, this is not a sustainable or healthy environment for employees.

Pros

- Company is growing but growth has slowed down.

Cons

- All the linkedin/glassdoor reviews are usually fake pushed by internal PR team. - Terrible WLB. 12-14 hrs per day is expected. - Recent layoffs/firing has downgraded the values of the company. - Long working hours. No appreciation - Can fire you without any feedbacks/warnings.

Had potential but fell way short

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

- Competitive salary - A cool way of getting your work laptop and other supplies using Hofy - A nice online learning platform with good on-boarding information

Cons

- Very little transparency in decision making - Very hierarchy driven where subordinates are expected to obey without offering input - Often felt like a tool being used instead of a creative part of a team - Technically very disorganised and not interested in giving capacity to improving legacy systems or methodologies - Little to no team events (virtual or remote) - Generally not a very kind and motivating culture - focused more on status than collaboration

We’re sorry to hear this; we really appreciate your transparent feedback on the competitive salary, innovative supply procurement, and effective onboarding platform. We are still in a startup growth mode, building what we hope to be a remarkable team experience in the near future. It’s feedback like this that helps us improve. We value and appreciate our team members and are committed to creating a great culture and environment for all. We have taken action items from your comments on the lack of transparency, hierarchical structure and insufficient team events, and will bring this back to our leadership and people teams.
