Pluspunten

The office in Laussane and the city of Lausane is quite nice

Minpunten

The product is quite bad and needs a constant bunch of "crappy" workarounds everywhere. One of the workarounds is you SpotMe employee. The customers do not even want to use the product. The customers get sold without any control on their expectations, sale now, ruin your life after. Some customers require special functionalities, but they are not listened to or studied as a whole, so the offered solution does not match at all the demand, which is a very juniorish attitude towards customer satisfaction but also a terrible approach to product evolution. The CEO is terrible, a micromanager monitoring even emails, but so are other high level managers. The attitude towards employees is terrible, normally you will get called incompetent or unprofessional for no real reason. Expect the management to be mean and not specially competent. Expect to be lied to, even if you explicitly ask the questions. There is a total cult culture, where high level employees have a special relation with the CEO. On the other hand the company events or company values are full of good words Many of the employees are close to burn out, so you will get the job nobody wants to do delivered to you. Also when working with other colleagues, it can be that admin or other departments to basically do a terrible job in your relation with the firma or in your own assignments Scary part is that the product looks like facebook even pages in a moment when even facebook does not want to be facebook

Pluspunten

Decent pay I would say

Minpunten

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.
