Claranet Reviews

Pros

Relaxed, top management sends communications out, 2 social events a year, fresh fruit, milk and coffee. Opportunities for development and progression are dependant on the department you're in.

Cons

As in most companies, managers are mainly just that. No real leadership. At a certain level you are expected to just get on with it, no support or attempt to make your role more interesting.

Advice to Management

Millenials are looking for leadership, not just management.

Pros

The company and the staff are to put it very politely, are horrible and I would not wish the experience of working there on my worst enemy. Well maybe I would as it would be just punishment.

Cons

Staff and management that are there deserve to be so. Leave them to it.

Advice to Management

Can't be said politely so I'll refrain.

Pros

Very few pros when related to comparable jobs/companies. Benefits are average to not bad.

Cons

Blame culture - to the extent of corporate bullying. Terrible management. Poor Morale. Horrific office politics. Overly corporate. Unprofessional.

Advice to Management

Hard to say what could turn around such a bad organisation to be frank.

Pros

Everyone in the business is extremely approachable, underpinned by the business still being privately owned. Good training opportunities, autonomous work environment and room to progress if you work hard.

Cons

Been at the company for 12 months, no cons yet!

Pros

As open and transparent as they can be. Claranet strives to do good for employees

Cons

Sometimes work pressures mean somethings are missed, this can cause ambiguity.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing, you'll get there...

Pros

There isn't any positives to this company

Cons

No job security - too many acquisitions

Pros

The Portuguese HR Team/Recruiters are good liars. They excel on selling lies about the projects

Cons

I was working on another company for +15 years with a very comfortable career. I received a invitation to join Iten/Claranet as a Project Manager for a big Portuguese client. I had my fears about this move but the HR Team guaranteed me that I was going to work in a good team, managing other skilled developers, being able to deliver what was intended for the project. Also, I live around 2 hours drive away from the... clients location, so I was rest assure there was no need of going frequently to cleints location. After quitting my job and on the first day, I found that my project team were in fact 2 inter developers with ablolutelly lo experience, as also some outsourced developers who were assign to this project without having any engagement or interest in it. As if this wasn’t enough, I find that the client “changed” their demand about the project manager, requiring my presence EVERYDAY on clients location around 8 AM for unnecessary meetings, forcing me to go through 2 hours rush hour traffic every morning. After 2 weeks I left the company with no job, no career path and a family to carry.!

Advice to Management

We know getting people to win projects is hard. Stop doing that by selling lies on interviews.

Pros

Big projects, big challenges, good culture

Cons

Nothing to say, maybe improve best courses
