Old job - werkgeversreview IT Manager bij Netfira

You'll gain firsthand experience dealing with narcissistic, unqualified leadership. Useful if you ever want to study dysfunction in a workplace.

The CEO (the owner's son) lacks any professional or technical credibility and routinely overrides his own developers with misguided decisions. The environment is defined by micromanagement, paranoia, and intimidation. Management knowingly breaks employment law. When I resigned, they refused to pay out my accrued annual leave. I had to take them to court, and won. The public ruling confirms their unlawful conduct. This wasn’t a one-off. Multiple employees faced the same treatment, with the company betting most wouldn't go through the legal process to claim what they were owed. Expect: - Underpayment and delayed wages - Falsified records - Gaslighting and bullying - Zero regard for employee wellbeing - No career growth, mentorship, or engineering standards

Remote and flexible work environment

CEO is too involved in the in software development process and code itself. This causes a lot of friction and undermines developers and middle management. Also micro manages what each person does and how. Culture is really bad. No self reflection. It's always someone else's fault.
