Flexible working hours Good food Some rare people are extremely competent

Minpunten

Most middle managers are quite biased and downright incompetent, which directly impacts the career growth and learning of their reports; To give you a personal anecdote, we recently prototyped a system for patenting. Once all was said and done, my manager adds a coworker's name to the patent document, saying, "She had worked on it previously". I had no access to any prior work from her and had to build the system from scratch. She then goes on to say, "If she had the time, she could have worked on it. So we're adding her name to it out of respect and solidarity". This is blatant favouritism. By that logic, I could go to the Olympic Games Committee and say, "If I had the time, I could have been an Olympic athlete. But I didn't, so out of respect and solidarity, give me a gold medal." Any resistance is met with the threat of a PIP (which is basically a way to phase you out of your job, as you train your replacement). Need I say more? They'll be all smiles and sweetness until you ask for what you deserve. Do not work here, if you're even remotely sensitive or ethical.

Pluspunten

Good parking lot, nice people, free tap water.

Minpunten

CEO likes for work on weekends, so as a result all leadership works weekends. CEO and CFO seem to be obsessed with ES&G and as a result odd decisions are made with respect to hiring and retention.
