Vantaggi
Free coffee, tea, chocolate Great Team Events. Not very motivating but fun. The company has a state-of-art meeting-room with videoconference. You get a new laptop - most Mac Pro - and iPhone or Blackberries.
Svantaggi
The company sees itself as a performance marketing company but basically what they are doing is sending massive email campaigns to customers of Hotmail, Gmail and other providers. The main traps are in Landing pages which offer fantastic prizes in return for follow a Path, a series of questions that always end up getting the data from the participants. There is nothing creative in the process and they use brand names indiscriminately, with or without their permission. Senior management does not exist. This company is run primarily by the CEO and it is virtually impossible to communicate with him. I cross a dozen words with him in months and I never knew if he had something to say or some specific strategic. Zero feedback. Additionally, there is an unmistakable atmosphere of bullying behaviour. The British team is practically a fortress and yet engages in all European processes, understanding neither the language nor the culture of the clients. Last but not least, several IT systems coexist repeating the same processes. I lived a migration from one system to another system that was utter chaos.
