A SCAM - DO NOT WORK HERE - Recensione dipendente - Software Engineer presso Penguin Formula

Like in any relationship, as we all know, a breakup is never easy. In these situations, emotions can speak louder and lead us to express ourselves in an excessive and untimely manner. All comments are respected with the conviction and, above all, with the awareness all that Penguin Formula has done and committed itself was to provide a good relationship with all its employees in an “open door” environment so that any situation could be debated. However, there are points that we must clarify to who consult this page. We try, as far as possible, to preserve a lasting relationship with our employees, for whom we have a deep respect. Are there any situations to improve? Most certainly there are, the company is the first to admit it. After all, like before mentioned, Penguin Formula is only 3 years old. We are faithful to our values and convictions, that we express in our commitment and dedication. We take pride in the exceptional work that is being developed by all, management team and employees. Every day we learn a little more and we do it together. We wish for understanding and discretion to those we also consider our family, even if we may be hurt. Respect and moderation have always characterized us. Nevertheless, there are situations that we care to clarify so that everyone can know from their own source and also, in a possible future, experience to live in first-hand what Penguin Formula is and does. Our head office schedule is a 9am to 6pm time schedule, with 1h for lunch and 30 min’ flexibility upon arriving and leaving hours (e.g. if you arrive by 8h30am, you are free to leave by 5h30pm). We do have a control access on our head office that, as of common knowledge, allows companies to comply with a lawful obligation of keeping an attendance registry of its employees. Since our core business model is related to Outplacements and Nearshore teams working for client’s projects, there are situations where our employees need to perform their job in our office, and not at home. These are client’s conditions that we must respect. So, as for not creating a differentiation between our employees, the home office is not defined as a rule. We don’t review ourselves in the type of company that doesn’t allow an employee to provide support to his/ her family or to be working from home in case of illness. The internal projects aim to create new products for the market and also to be used internally. In an IT environment where you need to act quickly and look for market necessities, it’s our vision that in the future we could provide more solutions for the market. Since the core business of the company is outplacement of specialized professionals in the IT field, we do everything we can to reduce the time our professionals are without a client project. Sometimes takes less and others more. We have sales teams and sales support that everyday strive to reach the best opportunities possible for our developers. If our professionals are allocated to a client, everyone is happy, after all it’s the core business of the company. There’s no logical explanation to keep our developers in internal projects just for the sake of it. Regarding to our contracts, and being truthful to the transparent company we aim to be, we currently display all our contract templates to any candidate at the offer stage, so they can be cleared regarding all doubts or questions that may arise, specially and precisely because the majority of our employees come from foreign countries.
