Probably the worst place I have worked - werkgeversreview Software Engineer bij Vorboss

Vorboss has truly been one of the best companies I’ve had the pleasure of working for. During my time here, I went through some very difficult personal circumstances, and I can wholeheartedly say the support I received was incredible. From HR and my Sales Manager to the CRO, everyone treated me with kindness, empathy, and understanding. It’s rare to find a workplace where you’re seen and supported as a person, not just an employee — and for that, I’ll always be grateful. One of the things I really valued was Vorboss’s openness to career development and internal moves. If you take the initiative and express interest, there are real opportunities to explore secondments and change paths within the business. I’ve seen several colleagues successfully transition into new roles because the company truly encourages growth from within. I understand that not everyone may have the same experience, but from my perspective, Vorboss is far from a toxic environment. It’s a company with an ambitious culture, supportive leadership, and a strong focus on doing the right thing by its people. The only reason I’ve chosen to move on is that I’m looking for something a bit more fast-paced to align with where I see my career heading. It was a tough decision, and I’m genuinely sad to be leaving such a great team behind. I’ve had a fantastic experience and hope that our paths may cross again one day. To anyone thinking about joining: don’t hesitate. It’s a brilliant place to work if you value real opportunities to grow.

The main challenge I experienced was the frequent changes within the company

- decent benefits - some very talented and competent members in their staff

Unfortunately the worst employment experience I’ve ever had, which is ironic because one of their goals is to be ‘the best employer you’ve ever had’. This experience had a catastrophic impact on my mental health. It was disappointing going into a role as an Account Manager, only to be told that you won’t have any accounts to manage, and you never will. The role has now been renamed at Area Manager, which is thankfully more apt, but realistically, it should probably be BDM or Sales Manager. Door-to-door, cold selling is the reality. It was also very disappointing being told that it’s a flexible working environment, where you’ll be able to work from home, then learning that there is no flexibility for that at all. Many people turned up to work while being ill due to this inflexible environment. There were times I was left absolutely shocked and appalled at the conduct of upper management, with people being left humiliated in front of their peers. It seems that the sales environment was a particularly unhappy place. I got the impression that a lot of the other teams enjoy their job and their positions, a huge contrast to the sales environment where I know a lot of people don’t/didn’t enjoy their roles.
