Spiraling down - werkgeversreview Data Engineer bij Macaw

Dear Reviewer, I want to thank you for taking the time to review Macaw and especially your time at Macaw. As a Great Place to Work, we value transparency and are always looking for feedback to help us improve. And that includes some oncomfortable feedback every now an then. As such, I am very sorry to hear that "things went south" for you as you describe and would have liked to discuss this in a personal conversation - immediately when you experienced negative things - so we could work on it together. Of course, you have every right to express yourself here, and we are only promoting that, however, your opinion is not in line with some of the facts, our ambition and vision. We have clearly not done a good job of including you in our goals and making you feel positive - and we are sorry about that. For example, one of our core goals is to focus on personal development, competence team development and knowledge sharing across teams and during 2021 our professionals spent 10% on average of their time on this. As a knowledge organization, we actively dedicate time to allow an individual to focus on their personal development plan programs along with clear career paths that allow people to develop and advance within Macaw for years to come. Another important goal is to maintain our company culture. Our Macaw25 ambition is built on the fundament of wanting to keep our culture intact as we value that so much and it's the main driver for our success. Our investor also sees that value and that's why we've jointly included a special culture clause in our investor agreement. Maybe recent years didn't make it easier to 'show' our culture the way we were used to before Covid, but I'm convinced that this will come back, hopefully sooner than later. I want to thank you for your time at Macaw and hope that one day we'll meet again, maybe to talk about your feelings in person. Let me know when, and I will be there. And perhaps sometime in the future you could become part of our growing and exciting community again. Giving us a second chance to fulfil on our employer vision for you. For now, all the best.
