Vantaggi

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I wanted to jump out of the 6th story window every minute I worked there.

Svantaggi

Hands down the worst job I have ever had. Terrible management. Disgusting workplace filled with roaches, mold, filth, and vultures literally pecking at the windows. The workers just tell the CEO what he wants to hear and then laugh behind his back. Everyone in the office wants to quit. They are all looking but only stay because they cannot find anything else. It is a sinking ship. Jump whilst you can!!!

Hello... I think given your review, that it is probably better that you work elsewhere as you were clearly not happy. In that, I wish you the best of luck. For the record, for other readers of this, since my whole life until now I've worked for US businesses (Microsoft, Yammer, Tesla), I'm well aware that the two countries have different cultures, product needs and working practices. This is reflected in our having spent the past several months developing new products that we know will do well in the US specifically - and as a result, we are now closing some of the biggest deals in our history, in competitive tender processes against our direct (US HQ'd) competition. The proof is in the pudding (as we Brits say)! If it is true that one or two people in the team have behaved as you describe, then I would be very disappointed as that's not within our values at all, and unfortunately says something about them, and not about our company - where I get a lot of feedback, constantly (including improvement points, which are the best to receive). Best wishes for the future, I hope you find what you are looking for. Georg

Vantaggi

Used to be a good company to work for...not since it changed ownership.

Svantaggi

New Management does not care about the toxic environment in the US. Their expectations are extremely unrealistic and the new CEO is clueless.

Thank you for leaving your thoughts on here, though I am sorry to read how you feel. I'm afraid I don't recognise your description of the US office. It is important to very clearly and strongly refute the suggestion that anyone would be punished for highlighting problems, in fact the opposite is true. “Problems are good” is my constant refrain as we seek to uncover and improve wherever we can. To support a critical and honest continuous self-review & self-improvement at our company, we have put multiple systems in place to enable feedback including anonymous feedback routes, anonymous employee engagement surveys, as well as HR and other channels outside of management. For the record, only two people in the US have been “fired” (as you put it) throughout 2018, and both were straightforward (and clear-cut) performance issues. We are deeply committed to ensuring our US operations are a great success and as such we are investing significant engineering time and effort into US product, we have improved many aspects of US staff benefits, increased the entertainment budget, increased the training budget, and are planning a renovation of the US office. If, on reflection, you still feel that specific points need to be addressed, I would strongly encourage you to avail yourself of any of the anonymous feedback tools to provide specific advice on specific points and I will personally review it all – as I always do.
