Friday drinks. Smart international team to work with.
Svantaggi
I worked at the company for several years. Unfortunately, from being a small company it slowly turned into a very male-dominated environment. All the privileges were for traders, around 90% men. The company had a strong masculine energy and basically any kind of comment or behavior toward women was tolerated. If you were a man and you made money, you could get away with almost anything. It’s sad to see that even the worst behavior from men often went unpunished. Of course I’m not talking about all men, many of them were nice, but very often you had to pretend you didn’t hear certain jokes and there was nothing you could do because traders were untouchable. For example, during a company weekend in Mallorca, one trader literally harassed many women. This was reported and proven to HR. He insulted women, touched them, and said disgusting things while drunk. He even called me a “sex doll” while grabbing my arm. What happened after many people reported him? Nothing. A few years later I saw this same person on the company’s LinkedIn page, in front of a camera, talking about biomethane. The company has over 60k followers on LinkedIn and probably no one knows how this person behaves when he drinks and is around women. The worst part is that he now has an important role, never punished, and probably earning a lot of money. And yes, that’s likely exactly why he was never fired.
