Converb - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Proverb

Since I've been at Proverb, I've experienced a management culture that is willing to grow the team (with both permanent or temporary help) in order to produce quality work rather than just suggesting that designers "find a way to get it done". Salaries are competitive, and bonuses are generous. If there is an equipment/software need it's approved almost immediately with little to no red tape. Employee expenses are reimbursed in the next pay cycle. I've worked for several companies where that can take months. The current model is hybrid with the expectation that the team is in the office one to two days per week. Ownership listens to concerns and suggestions and is receptive to thoughtful change. As a team lead I have biweekly calls with management to address concerns, upcoming projects, team needs, etc. It's a small to medium size shop, so you have to be willing to embrace design tasks that are out of your comfort zone.

One paycheck per month, rather than every two weeks. This can be challenging but has also led me to be better with budgeting. Parking in the South end is getting expensive. Not the worst for coming in once a week, but if you can take public transport, I recommend it. Ownership is working on this, but sound travels in the office which can make it difficult for client calls when multiple people are talking in the office.

The office had reasonable hours and the people I worked with directly were decent enough.

The main thing is that whenever a mistake happened, nothing changed afterward. I would see the same errors show up over and over again from different people, which meant nobody was actually learning from what went wrong, and I had to keep dealing with the consequences. What really got to me was that decisions from above seemed okay with how things were, no pushback, no investigation into why things kept failing. After a while I stopped bothering to flag problems because I knew nothing would happen anyway. I could watch something break, report it, watch it break the exact same way next time, and just... nothing. The pattern never stopped.
