Nightmare Job Stay Away

Pros

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I wanted to jump out of the 6th story window every minute I worked there.

Cons

Hands down the worst job I have ever had. Terrible management. Disgusting workplace filled with roaches, mold, filth, and vultures literally pecking at the windows. The workers just tell the CEO what he wants to hear and then laugh behind his back. Everyone in the office wants to quit. They are all looking but only stay because they cannot find anything else. It is a sinking ship. Jump whilst you can!!!

Hello... I think given your review, that it is probably better that you work elsewhere as you were clearly not happy. In that, I wish you the best of luck. For the record, for other readers of this, since my whole life until now I've worked for US businesses (Microsoft, Yammer, Tesla), I'm well aware that the two countries have different cultures, product needs and working practices. This is reflected in our having spent the past several months developing new products that we know will do well in the US specifically - and as a result, we are now closing some of the biggest deals in our history, in competitive tender processes against our direct (US HQ'd) competition. The proof is in the pudding (as we Brits say)! If it is true that one or two people in the team have behaved as you describe, then I would be very disappointed as that's not within our values at all, and unfortunately says something about them, and not about our company - where I get a lot of feedback, constantly (including improvement points, which are the best to receive). Best wishes for the future, I hope you find what you are looking for. Georg

Pros

Pretty clear hierarchy and organization, good holidays, good benefits, fun environment, engaging and welcoming staff. It's exciting to work for a growing company in a growing industry, and these people seem to know they're on their way up.

Cons

Requires a very high level of self-discipline to be able to make it here, because if you can't perform, you're going to be fired.
