Minpunten

I was hired as a TEP...a month in my manager told me I am actually a "senior TEP" but I was never informed of this...so he said he expected the most from me. I was the only US employee on my team, so they would schedule onboarding sessions for 5am/6am (I would decline and ask for a time during working hours, instead I was just never trained). My manager promised to promote me the first week he met me, he did not even know me. I visited Berlin (where the rest on my team was) and my manager at the time would ask me to go shopping with him, out for coffee (never as a team, just me) and he make inapproriate remarks about my looks. I let upper management know, he had left the company days prior, upper management said they are sorry and gave me a starbuck giftcard. After 11 months, I was just laid off. My manager who laid me off was not equipped to do so. After laying me off, she proceeds to ask to have a meeting the day after. I ask her if it even necessary because I had no desire to have another video meeting after being laid off. She said its fine, all she wanted was to do was make sure I sent over all sourced candidates (hundreds of candidates that I personally sourced) before leaving. Never met a manager that literally treated me as a number. While I worked with some amazing people, the two direct manager I had during my time there really set me up for failure and I see this almost as a blessing.

Pluspunten

Flexible hybrid environment. In-office requirement is 50% of the month, but there is significant autonomy in how those days are scheduled (eg. you can decide to condense your in-office days the first 2 weeks of the month, and work remotely for the next 2 weeks).

Minpunten

1- Compensation (particularly base salary) is significantly below market. Reliance on RSU as a major component of the compensation package is problematic, given the company’s stock has severely plummeted over the last 5 years (and continues to do so). 2- Professional development is virtually non-existent. Internal promotions are rare (even for top performers) and highly political. 3- Constant reorganizations and frequent layoffs. It is difficult to feel secure in your position when entire teams are being phased out every few months. 4- Toxic and fear-driven culture. There is a prevalent culture of backchannel feedback and a palpable, constant sense of fear regarding job security and retaliation. 5- Unsustainable business model, still. Service is overly reliant on discounting and promotions, which has negatively impacted brand perception and long-term customer value. Path to sustainable growth is unclear. Leadership also doesn't seem to know what to do, as they frequently pivot strategy, with new directions introduced every few months (if not every few weeks). This lack of consistency creates a sense of instability and leaves teams feeling as though the company lacks a cohesive, long-term vision. 6- Leadership tone. Leaders often lack respect for both employees and the customer base (it is common for them to make derogatory and insulting comments in business meetings about customers who cancel their service).
