Being a "visionary" can only take you so far with poor management and hazy perceptions - werkgeversreview Sales Executive bij Spryker Systems

- The North American sales team is messy. There is little to no alignment internally and everyone is pointing fingers at each other. You'll need to constantly watch your back if you decide to join Spryker. - The "herd mentality" leaves you feeling like a cattle cow that could be shot at any moment. This statement they push down your throat has little to do with their culture code: "cheering for each other every single day and working towards one goal, with one drive, one passion, and as one herd." - I was told not to go to HR more than once for situations that were inappropriate. After exchanging notes with other employees, this seemed to be a trend. - Most leaders have strong backgrounds but are arrogant and have no idea how to execute. They change their priorities constantly, which can frustrate people and slow down processes that were just implemented. - There is little to no explanation of how Spryker is making money. They will take lavish vacations, yet close 1-2 deals in 2 years? Make it make sense. It's an uneasy feeling. - As with any start-up, so many lives in Google Docs/Sheets, over here, over there, etc. However, when you need answers you get the runaround and waste so much quality work time on senseless rabbit holes, and then get scolded for not understanding the organizational "process". - Communication is very confusing on all levels, leaving employees feeling insecure. I read a previous review that stuck with me so I'll repeat it: Strategies and tactics that work in Germany almost never work at a startup in the US. Everyone knows this, and it's still beaten into everyone's mind that this is the tried and true way.
