Worst work experience I have ever had
Worst work experience I have ever had
- Compensation across the Netherlands
- Good office
- Be prepared to be hired in one role (e.g., Machine Learning Engineer) but perform tasks related to other roles (Perl and Java backend development).
- Management may not be able to align with tasks, so you might spend time doing useless work.
- Legacy technology stack.
- Huge bureaucracy load on employees, including many completely useless meetings.
- The personal opinion of a single manager could lead to your dismissal from the company.
- Although they always talk about employee protection, nobody (including top management) actually cares about what is going on when your manager personally dislikes you.
- Focus on product and people, but not on bureaucracy.
- Don't provide so much power to lower management and take into consideration that their management skills are poor.
- Take a minute to listen to your employees, but not only your managers.
