Pretty on the outside; chaos on the inside - Recensione dipendente - Sales Manager presso Meetingselect

One positive aspect of working at Meetingselect is the flexibility. Higher management does not closely monitor working hours, and there is significant autonomy in how employees manage their time. Many colleagues remain offline for long periods during the day and do not complete responsibilities, which allows ample personal time and space. This environment can suit individuals who prefer a relaxed work pace or who are managing other interests alongside their job.

However, this flexibility also comes with drawbacks. Workload distribution is uneven—employees who are more proactive and efficient often end up taking on additional responsibilities, while others maintain lighter workloads. Over time, this can feel discouraging for those who consistently contribute more. Another challenge is the appraisal structure. Performance increments are uniform across the team, typically around 5%, regardless of individual contribution or workload. Whether someone has worked significantly more or less, the increment remains the same. There is little room for performance-based discussion during appraisals, as decisions appear to be standardized and driven at a higher level. Compared to many Indian companies that offer as high as 25-30% higher annual raises or bonuses, this can feel limiting. Career growth and compensation progression may also feel slow. Increments and promotions do not always seem strongly linked to efficiency or output, which can affect motivation for employees aiming for faster professional advancement. Overall, this role can be suitable for someone looking for stability, flexibility, or for those pursuing other interests alongside a full-time salary. However, for individuals seeking strong performance-based recognition, faster growth, or a highly driven work culture, it may feel restrictive over time.

Nice colleagues - international exposure to clients -travel 1 time a year to HQ - remote for international colleague/ hybrid for national team

- horrible company culture - overwhelming amount of work, overworked managers. They can barely be there for their team when they’re so burnt out. They expect you to work the 10+ hours they do, overtime is never paid - extremely toxic management - biased to any other nationality other than Dutch, rarely ever get promoted if you’re not Dutch. - not international at heart, cultural insensitivity - Low pay - Horrible mental health duration of working here, so many colleagues leave due to burnout.
