Euroapi értékelése - Recensione dipendente - Development Engineer presso EUROAPI

- Direct impact and measurable results: My work directly affects processes, and the results are tangible. - Supportive professional environment: Colleagues are professionally well-prepared and very supportive of new team members.

- Management issues: Leadership often does not trust technical expertise and tries to micromanage without understanding the root cause of problems. - Limited real impact: Management may “check off” a problem, but it often remains unsolved, so the actual impact of the technical work is diminished. - Lack of transparency: Management is not transparent, withholds information, and does not communicate about important matters. - Resource allocation: Huge sums are spent on solutions that no one will use, while better and often cheaper alternatives (or salary increases) are overlooked. - Career growth is mainly limited to management roles: There is little room for advancement in purely technical positions.

The office I worked in was adequate.

Euroapi Germany GmbH decided to terminate my contract after just one month, citing alleged insufficient potential. However, the feedback from my manager was entirely inadequate. My manager was frequently absent—either working from home excessively or on vacations—which I feel may have even been demonstrative. I still was asked to be present in the office most of the time, where I was the only person sometimes. Consistent with the lack of feedback, onboarding was severely deficient, bordering on non-existent. On my first day, I wasn’t granted access to the campus as previously outlined in writing. I was never shown or asked to sign a job description (which is a legal requirement - "Nachweisgesetz"). Furthermore, I was not given access to essential team resources such as user accounts, tools, software licenses, mailing groups, SharePoints, and so on—some of which were only partially granted after more than a month, and some not at all. I was also excluded from relevant project meetings, except for a few superficial recurring sessions. Despite these obstacles, I made reasonable efforts and delivered tangible results, which unfortunately went unnoticed or were ignored and dismissed. The way the termination was communicated completed what I consider an irreversible breach of trust. Presumably due to overlaying vacations and coordinative issues, I was being told I would be given the chance for further probation in order to maximise my working efforts, which I have written evidence for that it was most likely an audacious lie. Personally, I have rarely—if ever—encountered such negligent, arbitrary, and condescending behavior in a professional setting. I would rather flip burgers than ever enter into any form of relationship, be it directly or indirectly, with this company again. To make matters worse, I was issued two versions of a basic reference letter, both containing multiple obvious spelling errors in my manager's task description and other issues. When I requested corrections alongside a comprehensive version of the reference letter, the company eventually agreed but chose to ommit the standard expressions of appreciation.
