Do you value your mental health, your private economy and your career? Stay away from Benify. - Recensione dipendente - Project Manager presso Benify

Do you value your mental health, your private economy and your career? Stay away from Benify. Oh yes, during the interview, they will dazzle you with career opportunities, a young and dynamic culture, big parties… But the reality of the job is quite different. Read between the lines and their “values”: “exceed expectations” and “think ahead” are really a mere pretext to work their employees to burnout. But there third value “show love”, has been taken little to seriously by some of the upper management towards female staff. Benify hires mostly juniors, pays them ridiculously low salaries, do not develop their people, and certainly doesn't ever raise their pay. Benify uses the self-esteem of their employee to keep the salaries low. Collectively, the group is praised for its "awesomeness”. In individual forums though, your manager will only point everything you do wrong to justify how you do not deserve a raise. In “performance appraisals”, I had things said to me that were extremely inappropriate. And since the company's vision and strategy goes from unclear to inexistent, and there are no tangible goals for you and your manager to objectively evaluate your performance. This opens the doors for your manager to criticize everything you do, and send you constant reminders of how much more you should be working. Inappropriate behaviors are not punished, and you will see managers bullying their employees getting promoted, again and again. This creates a culture of low self esteem and isolation among employees. It's not Benify, it's you. As a result, a worrying amount of employees are on sick leave for burnouts and you will not seldom see employees with red eyes walking the corridor of the jammed packed office. Are you a woman? Things get worse. Management consists almost exclusively of a “man’s club”. Promotions? Mostly men. Upper management? 90% men. Have you been the victim of inappropriate behavior? From what I've seen and experienced, chances are you will not be protected. Over the years, I have seen female colleagues being harassed by upper management during the conferences, where alcohol flows a little too much. Again, the same men were being promoted again and again, and women took the door. The turnover is getting high (which probably costs them more than paying their staff low), and although Benify claims its “culture of transparency”, only a selected part of the employee survey is made public and employees leaving are told to not send a good-bye e-mail to the entire company. It's bad. And certainly not worth it either economically or in terms of career development.
