Pluspunten

Overall Company is good except RPA / Intelligent Automation Team

Minpunten

Overall Experience My experience working on the RPA project was challenging and not particularly positive. While the company offers opportunities to work with automation technologies, the execution and management of the RPA initiative fell short of expectations. The environment often felt discouraging for those who wanted to innovate, learn, and contribute meaningfully to process improvements. True mentorship and constructive guidance were hard to find, which made personal growth a constant uphill climb. Leadership and Management Leadership at both the top and project levels requires significant improvement. There appeared to be a lack of effective communication, people management, and fairness in decision-making. Employee recognition and growth opportunities seemed to depend more on personal rapport than on performance or skill. Constructive feedback was rarely encouraged, and many good ideas were overlooked, which negatively affected team morale and motivation. True mentorship and constructive guidance were hard to find, which made personal growth a constant uphill climb. Work Environment and Culture The overall culture within the RPA project team was not supportive. Collaboration among employees was limited, and there was little emphasis on teamwork or mentoring. At times, the atmosphere felt hierarchical, with limited respect shown toward developers’ contributions. This culture made it difficult for individuals to feel valued or empowered in their roles. True mentorship and constructive guidance were hard to find, which made personal growth a constant uphill climb. Technical Challenges Despite migrating to newer environments, older and non-standard code practices continued to be followed, leading to frequent system incidents and inefficiencies. Much of the work revolved around support and bug fixing rather than meaningful automation development or innovation. True mentorship and constructive guidance were hard to find, which made personal growth a constant uphill climb. Advice to Management It would greatly benefit the organization to encourage transparency, and invest in leadership training. Building a culture that values merit, open communication, and continuous learning would significantly improve employee engagement and project success. Conclusion Overall, my experience was a learning opportunity in understanding the importance of strong leadership, modern technical standards, and healthy workplace culture. I would recommend future employees carefully evaluate the project structure and management style before joining, especially for RPA-related roles. This experience taught me what kind of workplace culture truly matters — one where voices are heard, talent is recognized, and progress is valued over politics. For anyone considering an RPA role here, go in with your eyes open. It’s less about automation and more about navigating automation chaos.

Minpunten

Working here makes me want to unalive myself daily. It's a typical corporate environment with lots of rules and processes that do nothing for efficiency or production and are only applied to women, minorities, or high performers that carry the team but don't have the right anatomy, look, or last name for promotions and growth. But don't worry, if you have a family connection and absolutely no skills or intellect and like to schmooze but hate work you'll probably get promoted often and rapidly. Working here over the last several years has truly drained any previous ambition I entered the workplace with. The lack of work life balance and low pay contributes to a slow descent into a sloth like existence because I can no longer afford to do outside activities and barely pay my bills, and when I do have free time it's typically interrupted by some arbitrary coworker crash out over a minor inconvenience. I find myself taking on bad health habits to make it end sooner and because you'll need to conform to being chained to your desk and sitting at your desk at least 8 hours of the day to last. bathroom breaks-ha who needs those!
