Good team and remote work, but some cons - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Dukascopy Bank

• Talented and friendly colleagues. • Opportunity to work across multiple projects and products if you show initiative. • Fully remote setup with some flexibility in working hours.

• Management is heavily centralized. The CEO is involved in every process and practices micromanagement. Most decisions are made subjectively and emotionally, without data, research, or user feedback. • No clear structure or career progression. Promotions and role reviews do not happen, and individual contributions are rarely recognized. • Design is part of the marketing department and is seen as “visual decoration” rather than a discipline for solving user problems. Designers are excluded from product strategy and decision-making. • Task flow is chaotic — assignments can come from any product manager at any time, with no clear prioritization or process. • A productivity tracking tool is used: it takes screenshots, monitors mouse movement, active apps, and window activity. • Although remote work is based on a B2B contract, working conditions resemble full-time employment without the benefits: • No paid vacation. • No sick leave or personal days. • No national holidays are observed — work continues year-round. • No health insurance. • No reimbursement or support for work equipment. • A one-month salary is paid at the end of the contract, possibly as compensation for unused time off.

Good and above average salary. Friendly environment. You feel that you matter and that your opinion matters. They value you, even the owner knows who you are and addresses you with value and support.

The only downside is that they used to have two types of contract one for Latvia which was basically declaring the minimum wage, they do this in order not to pay much taxes, so do not expect to have a good pension but you can use the extra salary to invest on the stock market and that is what I did.
