Svantaggi
The company does have its strengths, and there are areas where people can thrive. However, if you’re eyeing a role in the Finance team in Romania, you need to be fully aware of the toxic leadership culture that has taken root there. The same upper management has held control for nearly 18 years, and it’s a case study in how long-standing power can erode healthy culture. What was once a functioning, collaborative team has shifted into a bro-culture where promotions are driven by loyalty and personal allegiance—not merit, performance, or potential. If you’re not a yes-person, your career growth will be limited. Disagreeing with upper management—whether in meetings or even through the supposedly “anonymous” employee surveys—comes with consequences. Retaliation is real, targeted, and far from subtle. Harassment can be drawn out until you either conform or go quiet. I spent over 12 years in that environment. It took me a long time to piece everything together, and leaving was the best decision I could have made. If you think this kind of feedback comes without reflection after more than a decade, you’re missing the warning signs. Progress often starts with one decision. Mine was to walk away. If you’re considering this team, think carefully about whether you’re joining a place that nurtures growth—or one that punishes it. Bottom line: Be wary of the Romania Finance team. Your career and well-being deserve better.
