Good to connect with other people - werkgeversreview Project Manager bij Rebtel

A scale-up with big ambitions and the best people from across the world. I love the way everyone welcomes you and helps out. A great inclusive culture and good benefits. Exciting plans for the future and a chance to really make a difference.

Everyone is not aligned on company culture where there seem to be an "old" version of the company and a "new" one, where old seems to represent people who are not longer here. Also a bit old-fashioned on flexibility and independence.

The only real highlight of working here is the people. I had the privilege of working with genuinely kind, talented, and supportive colleagues. Team members try their best to collaborate and make things work despite the environment.

This is, unfortunately, one of the most poorly managed companies I’ve experienced. There is no clear mission, no clear goals, and no consistent direction. If leadership has a strategy, it is not communicated effectively, leaving teams confused and constantly reacting instead of executing. Management lacks competence and accountability. Many managers seem unqualified for their roles, and decisions are often driven by favoritism rather than merit. Career progression and even job security depend heavily on being in the “right circle,” not on performance. The culture is toxic and unstable. There is low trust in leadership, poor communication, and a general sense that employees are not valued. People get let go frequently, which creates ongoing anxiety and uncertainty across teams. One of the biggest issues is the constant overtime driven by unrealistic deadlines. Timelines are often set without proper planning or understanding of the workload, forcing employees to work extra hours regularly just to keep up. This leads to a high-stress environment with very little meaningful outcome, making the pressure feel pointless and draining. Compensation is not competitive, and expectations are disproportionately high. Promises around bonuses or growth often feel disconnected from reality.
