What to expect from a company lead by a narcissist - Anonymous employee bunq Employee Review

Before, I said that you get to learn a ton in a short time and that's all you'll have: a short period of time. Average tenure is under a year and from what I could calculate in my time there, bunq has a turnover of around 50% ... Back to the narcissist part: Ali, the CEO, is a guy who is convinced that bunq is the best company in the world. He says every other company headquartered in Holland is mediocre and that the reason why work-life balance is inexistent at bunq is because he is giving people the honour to work for the most prestigious company in the country. Take a look at bunq's social media, app reviews and glassdoor and judge for yourself. The guy says people can't have an ego if they want to work for bunq but he has the biggest of all egos. Those weekly meetings at 6pm on fridays. 6PM ON A FRIDAY! Seems like he does that cause he desperately needs people to clap every two minutes to boost his ego. Man needs some counselling. He is involved in every little thing. By this I mean, he is a micro manager to the core. He is involved with how the kitchen and chefs are organised, he sometimes will grab a marketeer's laptop and do his work for him. He designed the version 3 of the app. A software engineer with no training on UI UX design!! Of course it was a disaster. His ego was blocking him from seeing he is not capable of such a thing. It all boils down to the same issue: this man is a narcissist who believes he can do everybody's work and do it better than them. He trusts only a handful of people in the company which is probably the underlying issue for most of their ridiculous HR policies and some of his own practices such as him messaging team leads if their employee took more than 30 minutes to have lunch, or if a team member is just waiting for dinner to be served. Because god forbid someone actually works 8 hours a day instead of the minimum 8.5 hours he wants you to work. And I won't even dive into the fact that coders inevitably do 60 hour work weeks. Finally, his obsession with making a process for everything seems like a strategic way to make people disposable. He has thousands of processes in place so he can get rid of whomever he wants and put a new person there who should be able to do the work since there is a process for everything. Again, turnover is so high, they are constantly hiring because people will leave within a couple months and the poor recruiters have to deal with it. Because that's what you will hear, even from HR, that "Ali is Ali and you just have to deal with it".
