Pluspunten
Fast paced. Great learning in a global multi national Good salary and perks: be under no illusion tho you work for it. Sabbatical mat leave pension ESPP all great. Perks on site of subsidized canteen and free gym Teammates (mostly) are hard workers and very committed but are treated like children. They have to log there every move in two tools, targets are counterintuitive. Great mix and blend of talent Manically busy most of the time however structure is well established
Minpunten
Narrow career opportunity. Roles are all quite generic Politics is deep seated. If you ain’t playing the game you’re out. Reorg on our reorg each time with major disruption and cold hearted redundancies Everything is over worked into a big deal causing extra waste of time work Reports on our reports with challenging if not inaccurate information Group leaders and above regularly stop top talent moving on to feather their own bed at all levels No accounting of different personalities and diversity is a word not an action. Only focus is male and female Work life balance is a joke. No tolerance at leader level to work from home, unless it’s after hours and meeting needs of the business. A good work week is 80 hours. Salary reviews each year decrease through “creative” new targets set up for teammates to fail, annual review for exceeding teammates get 2% and people meeting targets get 1%. Promotion increase very poor on a good 5% or less. Budget cuts constantly for reviews. In a >5 year period a meets has gone from avg 6% to 1%. Bonus has also been scaled back with payment in shares based on the years performance capped and not paid out or vested for 12 Months. Targets are ALWAYS flawed and the focus is only on budget not the people Management change is constant, illogical and practices favoritism rather then ability Zero focus on Team Leader development Bullying is something I’ve witnessed a fair amount of.
