Dreadful company

Editor

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent colleagues. Location was good. Nice offices.

Cons

I would strongly urge people not to work for this company. I was bullied out of my job and had to sign an NDA. I repeatedly raised my concerns to HR and asked to be placed in a different team but ultimately the company saw ME as being a risk and made my life unbearable to the point that it affected my health.

Great employees, the rest not so much.

Mid software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great people to work with. - 10% day to use time to learn things for yourself. - XP programming and good DevOps structure

Cons

- Hard to have conversations with HR. Rules exist just because. - Overall package is lacking (no work from home benefits for example) - Not willing to publish salaries or salary bands just because they would have more work because of it. - Can't work remote inside the country without 2 weeks notif. Can't work remote outside the country at all. - No local manager, every manager is in London and that creates a feeling of almost outsourcing in the Lisbon office. - Overall there seems to be no trust in employees.

Work/Life balance and team are great, HR is horrible

Senior quality analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

- You work, you get payed. If you don't like to engage with your company, this is great for you. I hope you like outsourcing work. - Clear and detailed career progression - Mature and skilled colleagues, a pleasure to work with - Great work/life balanced, flexible work hours (don't tell HR!)

Cons

- Stingy company: boasts about incredible revenue increase, yet doesn't improve package (salary + perks) - Cold company: there's no attachment, no office vibe. Feels like contractor work, minus contractor salary - HR exists to keep the company happy and the "employsheeps" controlled - HR is inflexible and blindly follows the process, regardless if it makes sense - HR hides salary bands, limits internal discussion, and lied a couple of times - If you put in extra effort, you get no reward - Lots of managers, few actions and slow decisions - Few irrelevant perks
