Great teams but overwhelming work environment - Recensione dipendente - Category Planner presso DotActiv

Learning opportunity into the industry/field

No growth, salary not market related.

there are no positives at all

My experience applying to DotActiv as a graduate was disappointing and financially concerning. While the role is presented as a development opportunity for students, it felt more like a liability than genuine support. A key concern was being informed that employees may be liable for approximately R30,000 in training fees if they leave the company within three years. For a graduate or entry-level candidate, this is a significant financial risk, especially when combined with a low salary, limited benefits, and many work-related costs falling on the individual. Overall, the expectations and financial obligations placed on employees did not feel aligned with what is typically considered a graduate-friendly or supportive environment. I would strongly advise students and graduates to carefully review the contract terms, compensation, and financial implications before accepting a role.
