Svantaggi
No real on job training - very much sink or swim Now, very few people (outside of the HQ) have been at the company for more than 5 years. Backbase brags of it's great 'company culture' - yet no longer actually seems to care about it's employees - it doesn't reciprocate the same level of loyalty that it expects from it's employees. Despite repeatedly telling us there will be no more layoffs, they keep laying people off, and in order to avoid the term layoffs-are terminating MANY people due to 'performance issues' or within their 3 month probation period - which looks very suspicious In the US, people being laid off or terminated are only being offered a two week severance, despite some having been at the company for 5+ years HQ in Amsterdam thinks that the US employees are overpaid (although they don't seem to understand that we have to pay for our own benefits, etc. vs universal healthcare in much of Europe) - rumor now is they are slowly making work conditions so bad that people quit or are finding reasons to arbitrarily terminate people in order to whittle down the US team to bare bones, keeping just enough US employees to satisfy banking regulations.
