Pluspunten
The market is doing great and the company is comfortably riding the wave! It feels a bit like an all-inclusive with parking in front of the door, buffet lunch, people coming/leaving whenever they want. Officially branded as a 'Great Place to Work' with 3.3* Glassdoor rating. Stay vigilant when asked for feedback about the company as anything negative will make you a misfit and may lead to a subtle push toward the exit.
Minpunten
Managers are primarily focused on protecting their own position rather than improving the organization, which you can recognize by full agendas & talking about visibility/stakeholder management. If you enjoy executing whatever management asks, including constant firefighting, without asking too many questions, or if you thrive in internal politics, this might be a good fit. If you bring experience in technical leadership and decide to join, expect meetings and administration with minimal technical work. Peter’s Principle is visible everywhere in this siloed low-tech company. Decision-making is slow, accountability is diffuse, and ownership is carefully avoided. An inward-looking organization where there’s a strong belief that the company is so unique and innovative that external knowledge or best practices simply don’t apply.
