High-pressure environment with limited job security for Riga-based staff - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Swisscom

Structural Imbalance: The Riga office functions primarily as an outsourcing hub for the Swiss headquarters. This creates a disconnect where local management has limited power to advocate for employees compared to the Swiss teams. Probationary Risk: There is a noticeable lack of job security during the probation period. It is not uncommon to see sudden terminations without prior performance warnings or constructive feedback loops. Management Gaps: Leadership quality varies significantly. In my experience, technical proficiency in management was lacking, leading to friction when contributing high-level work. HR Alignment: HR tends to prioritize maintaining relationships with management over employee advocacy, providing little protection in the event of a dispute.
