Used to be, not anymore - werkgeversreview Project Manager bij SpotMe

Great product to work with. Constantly traveling to different cities and meeting new people.

Days can be long. Some clients may be high pressure.

Decent pay I would say

Unsustainable Workload & Non-Existent Work-Life Balance: "Heavy workloads and long hours are expected regularly" is an understatement. As a customer support employee, you're constantly fighting fires, often for a product that feels "under developed" or "requires a PhD to be used properly". I frequently worked late nights and weekends, with little to no break during "busy seasons" (which felt like all the time). The company seems to have a "churn and burn" mentality with employees, operating under the impression that we won't stay more than a year or two anyway. Lack of Management Support & High Turnover: There is no proper HR department to address employee concerns, and management is often described as "old-school and controlling". If you complain about being overwhelmed, you're likely to be "labeled as unable to handle the pressure and next in line for termination". The high turnover rate means you're constantly picking up the slack from those who have left, creating a vicious cycle of burnout. Poor Internal Communication & "Culture of Fear": Communication between departments is terrible, with "department silos" creating a "blame game" when things go wrong. The CEO's management style fosters a "culture of fear," with some employees even mentioning "micro-managing and mental abuse" as a day-to-day occurrence. This creates an extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional office environment. Product Issues: Supporting a product that isn't fully tested or user-friendly is incredibly frustrating. We often had to rely on "crappy workarounds" to help clients, which made the support process much harder than it needed to be.
