Excellent place to learn, grow, and accelerate your career - Senior Software Engineer bei Softpers Interactive: Mitarbeiterbewertung

The only positive aspect was having employment during a time when being jobless was not an option.

Softpers Interactive is not a good place to work. The environment is toxic, with favoritism and too much control from managers who don’t listen to employees. Simple tasks take too long because of slow administration, and the rules keep changing without warning. HR doesn’t support employees and ignores complaints, siding with management. They force employees to work late and on weekends, with no regard for work-life balance. Management frequently pings employees on WhatsApp at all hours, showing a complete lack of professionalism and respect for personal time. People are often fired without warning, creating job insecurity. There are no team activities or outings to make work enjoyable. Overall, it’s a stressful and unfair workplace that I wouldn’t recommend.

Salaries are paid on time, which is always a positive. The interview process is straightforward and relatively easy. Previous teams were collaborative, supportive, and helpful, creating a comfortable work environment. However, with the departure of those teams, the cooperative spirit has not yet been rebuilt in the current team.

The work environment has become toxic due to micromanagement and uncooperative management. HR acts as a middleman, filtering and restricting employee requests, leading to frustration. There’s constant pressure from unrealistic and short time estimations, which affects work-life balance and adds undue stress. The company shows urgency for non-urgent matters, disrupting workflow and making it difficult to focus on actual priorities. Employees are sometimes pinged outside of office hours for trivial issues, adding to the frustration. Clients tend to be unstable with low budgets, impacting job security. The company has unclear client gathering strategies, leading to concerns about long-term employment. The organization is split between two bosses, one of whom manages development operations despite lacking the required skills and experience for this role.
