Pluspunten

Young people and new offices so overall good environment. Really, this is the only advantage I can take out from working there (oh, and Lisbon is beautiful!)

Minpunten

- TERRIBLE compensation. I was earning 800 euros as an analyst. In France, people earn more than four times my salary. Also, even you are there for years your salary doesn't increase. in three years, expect to be increased by 50 euros net. In other terms, expect to live with your parents forever. - TERRIBLE HR department and allocation of talent to the right jobs. As an example, besides from my education and work experience, I speak 6 languages and was working in a very Back- office position where my skills weren't useful. - They have a contract clause that states that if you leave before completing two years at the bank you have to pay them two months of your salary for 'training costs'. This is a way to maintain highly qualified people at a very low price. This is the wrong way to retain talent and in the long run it is not sustainable. The best way to retain good employees is by giving them good life conditions. I was one of the persons who was asked to pay 2 months of salary for 'training costs'. Given the fact that I never had any training (I never went on a training anywhere, nor have I had any excel or language courses, nor did I go to any conference etc., I refused to pay them this amount and therefore, they decided not to pay me my last salary. So basically, I worked for free for 1 month while spending money with transportation to go to work everyday. This is very UNETHICAL.

The only good thing about this place were the Nespresso machines.

Minpunten

I rarely leave reviews, but future job seekers deserve fair warning. From day one, it was clear that micromanagement was a core operating principle here; not a quirk, but a feature. Managers routinely hovered over routine tasks, demanded pointless status updates multiple times a day, constantly changed directives, took credit for my work, and treated experienced professionals like they couldn't be trusted to send an email unsupervised. Any sense of autonomy was purely cosmetic. The culture was equally poisonous. Gossip wasn't background noise; it was practically a department function. Colleagues regularly spoke poorly of one another behind closed doors, cliques formed and hardened fast, and if you weren't part of the right group, you felt it. Unkind doesn't begin to cover it. Basic professionalism and common decency were in short supply. Management set the tone for all of it. Leaders who should have modeled integrity instead participated in the drama, played favorites openly, and addressed conflict with either complete avoidance or outright retaliation. HR was not a resource — it was a shield for bad behavior at the top. I left for my own sanity. The turnover rate here should tell you everything. Life is too short and your career too important to spend either in an environment like this one.
