I don't really know where to start...
- The environment is definitely very stressful and the management and leadership will put a lot of pressure on you as they only care about their targets (targets do not consider market size, economy, TAM, or any other market conditions...they are basically the same for everyone and therefore feel unrealistic)
- Management and leadership is only recruited internally. Therefore, managers do not have experience with leading teams and in my experience you can feel that everyday in how situations are handled
- Especially if you work for a smaller market your earning potential is quite bad. They tell you great things about the bonus model and that you can potentially earn a lot if you reach targets but that does not apply to you especially in smaller markets. You will have to work harder than anyone else, are under a lot more pressure, and will earn less as well
- The business model itself is a great idea and I think it's valuable. However, the execution is questionable in my opinion: It's all about quantity and numbers here and no one cares whether your work has higher quality. Therefore, I feel that all the growth they tell you about here is not sustainable because no one actually takes the long term perspective into consideration, it's just all about hitting quotas, targets, and fast growth which then leads to declining numbers eventually
- I've experienced lack of transparency and felt like I was being misled about salaries (e.g. I was told it's impossible for me to find a better paying job in Finland while I was even earning less then my colleagues that do the same job)
- I have experienced questionable and unprofessional behaviors of managers during company trips that made me uncomfortable
I was scared to give honest feedback or improvement suggestions since I started working here. In my experience, concerns were often dismissed or framed as my responsibility, and at times I felt that raising criticism led to negative reactions and had a negative long term impact
- The people who speak daily with clients and know how to improve the service or know what's really going on in the markets are not included anywhere. Decisions are made without even considering asking the people who are closest to clients
- It's almost impossible to get a raise here, even if you step into roles like team manager or similar. The only thing that comes with promotion is more pressure and more work
