Vantaggi
• The tech team is full of brilliant people who consistently deliver under pressure. Talented, friendly, and helpful, with very little office drama. • The office is modern and well-equipped. • Exposure to a variety of technologies and projects across multiple client companies. The team is doing genuinely interesting work.
Svantaggi
• Extremely inflexible approach to hybrid working. The company is rigidly committed to a mandatory three-days-in-office policy and will actively resist any attempt to negotiate flexible arrangements - even in cases where remote work is clearly reasonable or justified. The emphasis is placed on physical presence rather than productivity, which undermines morale. • No training or development opportunities. Despite repeated requests and discussion, there has been no meaningful progress toward offering structured training, career coaching, or learning resources. Staff are expected to upskill in their own time, with no support or investment from the company. • Career progression is non-existent. There are no defined advancement paths, no mentoring, and no long-term planning. Even high performers are left with nowhere to go, creating a dead-end environment. • Pay reviews are a formality with no substance. Although leadership claims they are conducted regularly, most are dismissed without clear criteria, feedback, or negotiation. Compensation does not reflect performance at all. • Chronic under-resourcing. The team continues to shrink as staff leave and are not replaced. This leads to increasing workloads for those who remain, creating burnout and frustration. • Tech team held hostage by external pressures. Project managers and clients often impose unrealistic deadlines, shifting requirements, and conflicting priorities. There’s little protection from poor planning or scope creep, making it difficult to do high-quality work. • Lack of recognition and appreciation. Employees who go above and beyond are rarely acknowledged. This contributes to a sense of being undervalued. • Poor communication and top-down decision-making. Leadership decisions are often made behind closed doors and handed down without context or discussion. Staff are left feeling out of the loop and disengaged. • No long-term strategic vision. Work often feels reactive rather than purposeful. There’s no clear direction for where the company or tech team is headed.
