Review - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Mapscape

Easy to commute, ping pong

- The biggest problem of that company is HR department, extremely bad HR: almost no knowledge about employees progress while influencing the salary, age discrimination (<30 means you are just nothing there, no matter what is your knowledge and experience), limited help and knowledge about expats. - Second biggest problem is lack of technical experience, very low quality code and architecture. Nobody knows how it all works together. Except the architect, and he is the only guru to add few more hundreds of unreadable SQL lines to another 3000 line function. - Third problem is hiring new people and very low salaries. They easily allow valuable people to leave while hiring a lot of fresh low-knowledge contractors or naive expats without knowledge about prices and salaries in Netherlands. Saving money on salaries while loosing on instantly changing employees without keeping a knowledge

Short lines of communication, high level of visibility. People who are willing to give their 100% are always valued within the organization, department managers are very experienced and knowledgable in their own fields but also very approachable.

The small, informal company approach still remains even though the company is by no means 'small' anymore. During my time in the company I missed a proper policies and more documentation for several general points. At the moment all the issues are tackled on an ad hoc basis.
