Very flexible structure, good team of professionals. - werkgeversreview Project Manager and Sales Manager bij Bene

I worked here for almost 7 years. Bene was a nice company to work for, with a lot of talented people and the products were cutting edge & top quality. The company was moving towards being more of a corporation but it still had a friendly family feel, which encouraged team work throughout its European offices. When I left it was a very turbulent time, as there had been a lot of redundancies and a big effort to re-structure the company. This was badly needed as the company had acquired another large German organisation a few years beforehand and had failed to streamline anything. The problem was the company was then in financial trouble and they were making mass changes all of a sudden in every department, some of which drastically effected employee bonuses. This gave me the shove I needed to leave but it was time I moved on anyway.

Poor remuneration No benefits I never once had an appraisal, personal development plan or even a conversation about progressing within the company

I can’t think of many. However the HQ in London is nice and in a great location and front of house staff were always attentive and friendly

Toxic culture, poor management, poor remuneration, no company benefits, inflexible working for the majority of staff due to an antiquated “need” to be in the office, higher management has no control over bad eggs within company and turns a blind eye. As a company they do not practice what they preach when it comes to work culture. There is also next to no diversity even in the UK branch - it’s white white white
