Interesting but not stable - werkgeversreview Embedded Software Engineer bij abra

Good, perfect, best company ever

No paid time off but it’s fine

Good Work-Life Balance: The only real upside here is the balance between home and work.

Toxic Management: The culture is extremely toxic. Management doesn't care about the employees; you are viewed merely as a "cog in the machine" rather than a human being. Zero Job Security: I never felt safe. As soon as a project ends, the insecurity kicks in immediately. It doesn't matter if you are a top performer giving 1,000%—if you are currently unassigned, you are out. Performance creates no safety net here. Mediocrity is Encouraged: They actively discourage initiative. If you try to "enlarge your head" (take ownership/initiative), you risk finding yourself out the door. They prefer employees who keep their heads down and do the bare minimum. Poor Compensation: Salary stagnation is the norm. Raises are almost non-existent (maybe once during a long tenure), and don't expect any bonuses or rewards, even if you deserve them. Sub-par Benefits: They don't invest in employee welfare (poor holiday gifts, etc.). Meal allowances are given only for days you are physically in the office, and the Education Fund (Keren Hishtalmut) only starts from the second year—which is far below the industry standard.
