Vantaggi

Remote work is supported, allowing you to collaborate with colleagues across different cities. The European culture is easygoing, and the work environment is relaxed, with slower pace and lower volume. Some days I don’t get much leads and automation is helpful with ai

Svantaggi

Our guidance and sales focus changes daily. Untrustworthy and poor sales exec leadership feels like high school, with a lot of favoritism towards ATH team leads (usually women). It seems like promotions are reserved for them because the cost of Athens is low, so increases are small. Many people appear to be underutilized, and talent is ignored. Everyone seems like an underutilized and expensive admin while owning 1-2 tasks as core job duties. The CEO gives too much control to people who make poor decisions and directions, and it seems like they know it. The company is unstable. Executives seem to be the only ones not held accountable, while everyone else is blamed for bad decisions. They also seem to be the ones getting incentives with zero bonuses for everyone else. Company preaches to be guest centric but our customers stop using our product. Too much egos at the top and manipulation. It’s a boys club
