Unclear direction and inconsistent leadership - werkgeversreview Software Engineer bij FA Systems Automation

The role offers broad exposure and you will be involved in many areas of work. The fast-paced environment can help you gain hands-on experience and learn to multitask quickly.

The company has been facing ongoing financial issues, and employees have been asked to take unpaid leave. The overall work atmosphere is poor, with a very high turnover rate. Management is dominated by family members, which affects transparency and fair decision-making. Employee benefits are continuously reduced while workloads increase. Leadership frequently makes promises about future growth and improvement that do not materialize. You may work extremely hard for a full year, only to be told again that the company did not make a profit. Employees be pressured to stay after working hours for unnecessary social activities involving drinking or gambling, especially when these are unrelated to work performance. Join at your own risk.

After-work events often involve gambling and heavy drinking, with strong pressure to attend, blurring professional boundaries. Overall company culture feels unethical and unsafe for employees who want a professional, compliant workplace.
