Awesome colleagues but unhealthy management style - Anonymous employee Flightradar24 Employee Review

- There are many talented and kind employees in the company. - Used to be a great place to work - Working hours are reasonable - International team atmosphere. - The product is very strong and successful.

- The CTO sometimes look more focused on LinkedIn career than doing real technical work. This is often left to external contractors. - The owners and CEO do not seem to care much about the people working for them. - HR processes are unprofessional, confusing and inconsistent. - Important company communication is often done as Slack posts written with ChatGPT. This gives impression that management do not want to speak to employees as people. - There is not much autonomy even for middle managers, with a lot of micromanagement. - In the last year there is history of upper management bullying out strong performers by demotion or hiring replacements behind their back. - Several good people left in the last 12 months because of these problems. - The lack of autonomy can be stressful and some employees experienced burnout. - There are strange rules like not being allowed to openly criticise or give feedback on decisions. It can feel like a culture of fear if people speak out. - Team social events like dinners are sometimes obligatory, and employees sometimes have to pay themselves.

- Interesting product and stable finances - CEO is a hard working person - Good accident/sickness insurance - Generous wellness allowance - Yearly gathering, usually connected with a fun event - Diverse international team

- As mentioned above the CEO is a hard working person, which is good, but is way too involved and controlling at low level decisions.. micromanagement. - CTO may have good long term ideas but lacks technical knowledge.. focus is on appearances and slogans rather than decisions and taking responsibility. Would probably do a much better PR person than a CTO. - There’s no honest or transparent communication which results in rumors, gossip and lack of trust. - HR policies and initiatives can be confusing and poorly executed. - People are disposable. It’s obvious that there’s no place for sentiment. On one hand they want us to be in the office as much as possible to ”build culture”, and then they fire 12 long term contractors (our friends!) on the spot without giving them a decent exit.
