Svantaggi
Salary is not competitive in Hungary anymore Recent issues with manpower shortage, resultind in 2-3x workload. because of the large number of recent resignations and failure to hire enough employee. Considering that inflation halved the value of salaries since covid, this meant working 3x work for half the money. Higher management absolutely does not listen to feedbacks. US higher management does not trust the EU management, not listening to their feedbacks, not giving them enough authority to make decisions, and micromanaging them without proper knowledge of the european job market, business sphere and economical situation. As the company changed from a large startup to a multinational corporation, working conditions and comoensation package worsened, even the RSUs worth half od their value since company stocks plummeted. The hotline created for reporting felow employees anonymously created a toxic atmosphere, sometimes resulting in terminating the contract of someone based on fabricated accusations. First and middle management are generally nice and hepful doing their best to create a good atmosphere, and a good and effective team.
