Minpunten

I have been in this field for many years, and I must say that the management at this company is some of the most ineffective and damaging I have ever encountered. Minor issues are routinely escalated into company-wide crises, and the repeated discontinuation of bonuses and salary revisions has fostered a toxic work environment. The removal of sick leave benefits, along with the regular termination of employees without compensation or proper notice, demonstrates a complete disregard for staff well-being. Every colleague I know works after hours and on weekends just to keep up—and to avoid the looming fear of being fired the next day. It genuinely feels like a sinking ship. This is not a place where you’ll grow or learn. You will spend your time training AI with “vibe-coding,” under constant stress, feeling expendable, and waking up each day wondering if it’s your last at the company. You’ll receive frequent emails from the CEO announcing that, on top of losing bonuses, you may also lose vacations, sick days, any opportunity for learning, and possibly even part of your salary—without any clear communication channels or discussion. If you don’t like it, the message is clear: leave. I wouldn’t recommend this experience to my worst enemies. To be clear, I hold no ill will toward anyone I’ve worked with—this company has some of the kindest, most accepting, and warmest colleagues I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. But the management desperately needs to change.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for recognizing the colleagues you worked with. It is encouraging to hear that you found support and a welcoming team environment during your time at scandiweb, even if other aspects fell short of your expectations. We also acknowledge the concerns you have raised. The past period has been challenging, with the company - like many others in the industry - operating in crisis mode to secure long-term stability. This situation has unfortunately impacted several areas, including the postponement of salary revisions, the temporary cancellation of bonuses, and the adjustment of time-off policies. For international colleagues, offboarding terms are defined by sole proprietor agreements, which allow for immediate changes depending on performance and business needs. Looking ahead, scandiweb has committed to building its future in AI-driven eCommerce, a strategic shift made to remain competitive and innovative in a fast-changing market. We understand that this transition, combined with the wider challenges, has not been easy and that communication and management are areas where we need to improve. We are grateful that, despite the difficulties, you highlighted the kindness and support of your colleagues. Thank you for the contributions you made during your time with us, and we wish you every success in your future career.

Minpunten

During my 6 months at the company, I noticed several issues that made the work environment increasingly difficult. At the beginning, everything seemed fine and my teammates were supportive. However, in the last two months, the atmosphere completely shifted. The high-level management started to behave in a way that felt unprofessional constantly complaining and creating a discouraging environment that did not motivate either work or learning. Another major challenge was the lack of stability in tech stacks. Within only 6 months, I had to work on 4 different projects, each with a completely different stack. This constant switching made it impossible to stay focused, build expertise in one area, or feel like I was becoming strong in a particular technology. I also observed an unusual push towards relying heavily on AI in the development process. While AI can be useful, it was being overused to the point that overall code quality and development standards suffered. On top of that, I experienced what I felt was biased behavior towards international employees. Throughout my first months, I consistently received positive feedback, but in my final month, I joined a new project with a stack I had never worked with before. Naturally, I needed a little extra time to adapt. One specific task took me two days to complete while I was getting used to the technology. Despite quickly getting back on track afterward, my team lead gave me negative feedback based only on those two days of adjustment. HR escalated this immediately to management, who made the decision to terminate me and completely ignoring all the positive feedback from the previous months. HR had also promised me a 30-day follow-up period, but they did not honor that agreement. Instead, the off-boarding process was cold and impersonal, almost as if I was speaking to a script rather than a person. When I tried to reach out to the CEO to explain the situation, I received no response. Additionally, towards the end, team leads stopped replying to messages or providing proper guidance, while pressure and micromanagement increased significantly. The company also performs frequent layoffs for what seem like trivial reasons, which creates constant instability and fear among employees. Based on these experiences, I believe the company’s future could be at risk if it continues down this path.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear that you have found scandiweb to be structured and with supportive and diverse teammates. We would also like to address the concerns you have raised. In recent months, the industry has faced significant challenges, and to ensure long-term stability, scandiweb had to make difficult decisions. While there were cases of offboarding, these followed performance reviews and assessments. Some benefits, such as additional paid days off, salary increases, and monetary bonuses, have been temporarily paused or adjusted. These measures were applied company-wide to safeguard the future and protect existing teams. We understand that it all feels discouraging to you, but as the eCommerce industry aligns with the shift, the company needed to make tough decisions. Regarding your offboarding, firstly, please accept our apology for the communication. We strive to establish a smooth process in every stage of employment. We will take this into consideration for future endeavours. We understand that these changes may have created uncertainty, and we empathize with how they can affect the perception of fairness. At the same time, we remain committed to building a sustainable future for our colleagues worldwide. Thank you again for your contribution and for being part of scandiweb.
