Svantaggi
Unethical Treatment During Training: The October 2024 bootcamp initiative under the Retro Academy subjecting employees who were on the bench to inhumane working conditions, including excessively long hours, inappropriate tasks outside their expertise, and verbal mistreatment. Frequent Hiring and Firing: Constant turnover signals an unstable and toxic culture. Employees face job insecurity, often terminated without clear communication or adherence to contractual procedures. Lack of Guidance and Support: Employees often receive limited guidance on professional growth. Instead of fostering a learning environment, mistakes are excessively tracked, creating a punitive atmosphere. This is a hostile working environment that is discriminatory and unwelcoming, particularly for individuals who do not fit into certain demographic profiles(Male and Afrikaans). Unprofessional Conduct by Management: Management is known for using aggressive tones, vulgar language, and showing a lack of respect towards employees. Management in this context are the founders and devs who are friends with the founder.
