Pluspunten

Small work benefits, location, pay.

Minpunten

Working at the company affected my self-esteem for years after leaving. In my experience, the workplace culture felt toxic and at times patronising, and I personally felt unsupported as a young woman within the environment. I witnessed behaviour that I considered bullying towards other staff members, and I did not feel HR handled concerns appropriately when raised. I also felt aspects of my contract and role expectations were not communicated clearly to me. Despite some minor benefits, the management culture overshadowed the positives for me. High staff turnover was also something I noticed during my time there. Others may have had different experiences, but I would not personally recommend the company to anyone who values a supportive and respectful workplace culture.

Pluspunten

Met a few good people here, but none of them lasted. Everyone eventually quit or got pushed out.

Minpunten

This company is a perfect example of how to burn out employees, squander talent, and mismanage a sales org. Team members are often overlooked, talked down to, and treated more like call-center output than actual professionals. My manager consistently interacted with me and others in ways that were discouraging and demoralizing, and it was clear there was little interest in coaching or developing people. The culture feels more like a clique-driven high school environment than a workplace. Turnover is nonstop, and the atmosphere noticeably changes whenever senior leadership is around. KPIs are unrealistic, and the product is genuinely tough to sell in the current market. Hitting quota is rare, many reps only close a couple of small deals the entire year, and the commission structure doesn’t make it any easier. You’re closely monitored from the moment you log in, and by mid-morning you’re already being questioned about your activity. Late hours are common due to rigid activity requirements. Training is minimal, senior reps generally keep to themselves, and asking for help sometimes gets interpreted as not being capable rather than trying to improve. The day-to-day environment is loud, chaotic, and high stress. Headphones aren’t allowed. Standards are enforced unevenly. Some people are given a wide berth, while others are micromanaged over very small things. The culture leans heavily on pressure, constant urgency, and short-term reactions instead of any real long-term strategy or leadership approach. If you care about your mental health, professional development, or actually improving as a salesperson, I’d strongly recommend looking at other companies. Leaving this role was genuinely one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career.
