Lots of free food. Good people that will commiserate with you over how terrible the work environment is.
Svantaggi
Where do I even start? The way Gensuite is run is a total joke - and probably illegal. You are expected to work overtime - straight from the CEO's mouth, people should be working 50 hours a week, with no extra pay or any extra compensation whatsoever. The CEO treats the company like his playground and all the employees are his marionettes to do with as he pleases. Make no mistake - Gensuite is a DICTATORSHIP. At a simple nod of his head, you can be yanked off of a project that you've put months of work into, with no explanation, or shoved into something you are not anywhere near qualified for because he wants to "try it out." Public shaming, as mentioned in another review, is very much a thing here. If you make a mistake, regardless of what led up to it or why, the CEO will call you out in an email to the entire company. Sometimes, you are even publicly shamed for things that aren't even your fault, but since the actual screw-up is someone that the CEO likes, they're forgiven and you are blamed for simply finding the error and reporting it. On a daily basis, the missions of the company change. If there is one single issue with one single application - that could be fixed in a matter of hours - the entire company is expected to analyze every other application to find similar issues - on TOP of everything else that's on their plates. And it's all at the whim of the CEO. Months of different campaigns are held, just to be abandoned randomly when he moves on to the next thing. The salaries are all over the place. Regardless of what training or experience you have, you will only be paid well if you are a developer or reach the magical Senior Leadership Council. Raises and promotions are rarely based on merit. People who are terrible at their job are promoted simply because they are liked by the CEO. Every few months, someone (almost always a woman) gets hired that the CEO then dotes on - uncomfortably so, with private lunches and personal space invasion and the pet getting to handpick what aspects of the company they are involved in. All too often, the pet soon drowns in work because they are overloaded, but it will be forgiven and they'll be promoted no matter how many balls they've dropped. Actually, everyone is overloaded. And if you fall behind, you are then given MORE to do, in terms of follow-up emails and meetings to discuss your progress on how you're making up for a small mistake. There is zero work/life balance. Gensuite has to become your life, if you have any chance of succeeding at the company. Another big issue is that they spend money like crazy. Year after year, a ridiculous growth goal is set (upwards of 25% in a single year, which is unheard of), then money is spent for the first half of the year like the target is going to be met. Around July, the numbers are looked at and, uh oh, they're not on target. So what happens then? Layoffs. All because the CEO doesn't stick to a budget and would rather spend company money on entertaining his family, that's in town from India, than using it to pay decent employees. And the layoffs could be people who are actually terrible or just people that the CEO has a personal issue with, regardless of job performance. Any positive reviews on this site have to be from upper management, who make good money to do whatever the CEO wants, or there was some incentive given in order to post a positive review. I repeat - Gensuite is run by a dictator. I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy.
