Good technical experience but very toxic management - werkgeversreview Electrical Technician bij Powertech Labs

32 vacation days is the only pro

Toxic management levels in 90% of the company. Only a few leaders care and all others are micro managers. Some even sexist. Leadership team and CEO has no respect for any of the employees time. Things are constantly thrown at you to finish within hours and call it "teamwork" when it's not on your job description and the people hired for those jobs are incompetent to do it themselves. Company promotes backstabbing with no trusts even when Powertech's tagline is "the power of trust". Cannot trust HR because they are under toxic management too. You'll only be "blacklisted" for complaining about harassment. High turnover rate because there are no respects from leadership. And there are no future in the company unless you suck up to certain people. Super low pay - way below market.

I’ve had a very positive experience working at Powertech Labs. The biggest strength is the people—my colleagues are knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to help. I’ve been trusted with meaningful work, given opportunities to take ownership, and encouraged to keep learning and growing. The projects are technically interesting and often have a real impact, which makes the work feel rewarding. I also appreciate the flexibility, work-life balance, and the respectful culture across the organization.

Like any growing organization, some internal processes can be slow, and coordination between different teams is not always as smooth as it could be. Priorities can also change quickly, so you need to be adaptable and comfortable taking initiative. Better tools, clearer processes, and faster decision-making would make an already good workplace even better.
