Great workplace - werkgeversreview Backend Developer bij Locafox

Free drinks, free coffee, free fruits Few coworkers that still enjoy being there and try to make the difference.

The company successfully managed to accomplish most of the possible mistakes a startup can do. One of the most controversial topic is the company's budget. On one hand the management states the company has been never in such a good shape (especially when half of the coworkers left/were fired from the LocaFox less than a year ago) on the other hand there is a permanent issue with available costs: - permanent budget cut from anywhere possible - in the same time money is burning during activities that do not provide any value - most of the IT coworkers are located abroad (=cheap labor) - the ones in the local office are underpaid - many of the colleagues are wearing multiple hats There is no clear vision of what is it we are trying to create, what do we believe that we can deliver. Despite of the plans available for the quarter they are almost 100% sales goals, without explanation of "why". One of the main postulate of the company is to be transparent and share the learnings. None of this really happens, the information if often being withdrawn and the management doesn't really learn from the previous mistakes made.

At Locafox I felt much like at home I made a lot of friends, its more of a family. I had a great time working with my team, everyone is open minded and listens to your ideas. There is a lot of trust between the team, also from managers towards their teams, this enables a lot of ownership for each employee. The managers are very open and transparent towards everything, there are weekly updates on how the company is doing, also monthly company meetings where anyone can join and get details for the company goals and where they are at with their goals.

The office space can be a slightly loud at times.
