Bad and unprofessional management - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Qustodio

Lunch is free, some employees are nice to talk to

I would not recommend working for this company, especially in the Barcelona office. The work environment is very exclusionary: people go out of their way not to involve you, offer support, or create any sense of teamwork. The overall culture feels cliquish, and leadership seems to care only about themselves and their close relationships rather than the well-being of employees. Micromanagement is really common with one leader yet there’s almost no constructive feedback or development support. Communication is poor, and there’s little effort made to include non-native speakers in conversations, even when it’s clear you don’t understand what’s being said and you have voiced concerns with your team multiple times. Finally, team bonding simply doesn’t exist. When these issues were brought to management they were dismissed and I was told I needed to make more of an effort even though I was the only one making effort to blend in my team. I often felt dismissed and interrupted during meetings, and suggestions or ideas were regularly shut down with condescending responses. There’s a lack of transparency around processes, and leadership mistakes are often met with silence or blame rather than guidance. While onboarding I was left alone for 2 weeks and no training was provided so I had to teach myself everything. There are also no bonuses, no pension plan, and a general lack of appreciation for hard work. Overall, the environment feels toxic, isolating, and poorly managed, with no real opportunities for growth or collaboration. I would not recommend working here especially due to the management and lack of basic people skills/manners.

Qustodio is a great company to work at for many obvious reasons. The company's culture is outstanding, being derived from it's mission to provide a healthy and safe digital environment for children to thrive in. The day-to-day work and projects we are involved in are not only interesting but contribute to the greater good of humanity. Upper-level management communicates clearly what are the companies goals and progress towards it. Qustodio ensures that it employs people who are friendly and helpful at all times. The company rewards its employees adequately, not only at a salary level, but through company wide initiatives and personal benefits that cover many different aspects of one's needs.

Not exactly a disadvantage, but even though the company is fully remote it still requires its employees to be based in Spain
