Pluspunten

Young team and good environment to work on. I believe it is a good place to start career if you learn really fast. You will learn a lot on job if the people can keep up. Responsibilities will ramp up and be attributed in a quick way (good and bad). Funds seem to have no end for projects. No door policy. Improvement ideas always welcomed. Interesting benefits. Company growing fast leads to places opening up. Diversity and inclusion are big in this company, all teams are multinational.

Minpunten

Location of the site is remote. Messy organization of work and poor training of people leads to a sink or swim situation too quickly. Onboarding is almost non existent. Work life balance is very bad, as too many over hours are expected of many people to fulfil unreasonable goals and has lead to known cases of burnout in less than a year. Lack of resources for the workload. HR is a distant to barely existent partner. Managers are too focused on goals and not on the people they manage. Salary and progression seems unfair through teams and not related to responsibilities. Values the company states seem just for show and with no real connection. Finger pointing is the most common action after issues occur. Departmental competition and blame game is just ridiculous and too often.

Pluspunten

The benefits package is strong and competitive, which adds a lot of overall value. There are many internal departments and career paths, making it relatively easy to explore new roles and grow within the company. On-site cafeteria is a convenient and appreciated perk. Many colleagues are highly experienced and have been with the company and industry for years, making them great resources for learning and mentorship.

Minpunten

Promotion policies can be limiting—there seems to be an informal rule that prevents employees from being promoted more than once in a year, even for high performers. Salary could be more competitive compared to market rates. Equipment and internal systems feel outdated and could benefit from modernization to improve efficiency.
