Kontras
Where to start? Don't bother reading reviews from before august 2022. Back then things were going great. Now the wheels have fallen off big time Lab3 is fast becoming a case study in how not to run a tech start up. In my 25+ years of working I have never seen such blatant corrupt nepotism in one organisation. It is endemic throughout the organisation and is truly toxic (unless you are part of the chosen ones) these are either a) direct family members - im talking siblings, spouces, parents and children b) the ex IBM marfia- a huge amount of the management level are old mates This has resulted in a highly dysfunctional company. The old amazing CEO and COO Left under very mysterious circumstances- gossip was they tried to hold certain people and teams to account and hurt some of the golden children's feelings who complained to the founders... like I said rumoured but where's there smoke... since then there has been zero strategic action by c-suite to address a falling market. Sales not performing, this has resulted in 3 redundancy rounds. Redundancies were handed so poorly. people let go with one day's notice. minimum legal benefits provided. no support given for staff to find a new role apart from 2 recruitment names who don't even return calls. a total and utter joke. LAB3 is one of those companies that say they're like family (which for many is literally true).but only the worker bees get laid off, the clique is well and truly protected. Unadvertised roles are commonly created for family and friends while existing staff are let go. If you are thinking of working here, be warned. I wish I had known this before I started. also very poor anual review and promotion processes. no internal job board.
