One of the worst employers in the IT industry in Latvia - Recensione dipendente - Software QA Engineer presso TestDevLab

Hello! While we are sorry to hear about your negative experience with us, we appreciate your review. Thank you! We have a clear goal system in place and salary levels that are transparent for all employees. Everybody has a chance to grow and also increase their compensation for the work they’ve done if the current business environment allows it. We want to emphasize that this is a two-way conversation between the employee and the management where both parties agree on a set of goals that need to be reached in order to get a step up in their career path. If for example, the workload in the project increases, employees can adjust their goals so they don’t become “unrealistic”. Management is there to accommodate these changes and help every employee to advance within the company. But as you know, we are in the process of improving our goal system to make it more beneficial for the career growth of our employees. Also, employees can contact management directly if they feel that they can’t manage their work/life balance or goals need to change. There are no cases when we reject conversations to reach an agreement for such matters. We have multiple regular company-wide activities like internal newsletters and live all-hands meetings where we share the latest company information. During these calls, we also answer all employee questions. Additionally, w offer a possibility to send in questions/feedback in an anonymous form. We try to apply the same teambuilding rules to all employees within the company. They change based on various factors, team changes and sizes, financial situation, etc. Still, we always strive to explain the rules clearly and are open to discussing and adjusting the process to individual needs. We envision teambuilding as an activity that takes place within one team/project/relevant work group to strengthen relationships within the team and create a more collaborative environment. Continuous learning and self-improvement are a must in IT and this is why we offer various internal and external IT courses that help our employees gain new knowledge. We are improving internal courses based on the feedback from participants after each course. This means that your feedback matters even if you didn’t like your course led by some of your colleagues - we are open to listening to your concerns. Although it seems like your time at TestDevLab ended on a negative note, we want to say thank you for your feedback that we will use to improve working conditions for your now ex-colleagues. We have always been open to improvements and are working to create an environment where employees feel free to bring up their concerns and share feedback with the management and administration. Best regards, TestDevLab management
