I hope this does not sound bitter to those reading, the intention is to give potential applicants some of the information I wish I had before working here
Overall overworked, stressed and unhappy teams
High employee turnover. This speaks for itself
Teams are lean and there’s been layoffs so lots of people are carrying a heavy workload
They will fake smile at you. If you are thinking that the ‘we are nice and lovely’ culture seems too good to be true, it’s because it is
Toxic culture, blame game, you will be yelled at if you are not hitting your target
They're living off past glory and success, but not adjusting the business strategy and product to the current times. High churn
They want the commercial team to hit the target at ANY cost. Close every deal, even if it’s not the best fit. Customer wants to cancel? Throw every discount under the sun at them
if you are in sales, you don’t have a proper desk, they make you sit in stools Toxic people in positions of leadership
Nepotism. Quite cliquey. leadership are best buddies. Some used to work in the same company before
If you are part of certain group, you are probably doing the least amount of work, with the highest paying salary. They have their clear favourites, and if you aren't one of them, good luck
Middle management is unexperienced and clueless about how to mentor teams
If this is your first job or are a recent grad they will manipulate you, make fake promises, and string you along with no real plan or concern for professional development
They have a team in the states but it is very lean, so you are expected to work US hours
The list goes on. Avoid.
