Pros

It features a convenient location close to the train station, with the option to work from home three times a week.

Cons

A demanding workplace with managers who lack even the most basic managerial skills. Promotions are based solely on seniority, with no training in management or implementation of key principles to support employee growth or foster a positive work environment.

Instead, the culture is marked by toxic remarks, dismissal of loyal and long-term employees simply for voicing criticism, and an overwhelming workload. There’s also a notable lack of consideration for parenthood — ironically, from managers who are parents themselves.

Advice to Management

A structured and respectful onboarding process, free from toxic comments or disparagement of other employees. Consideration for parenthood, working hours, and workdays is essential — it’s unreasonable to send messages at 1:00 a.m. and expect a task, assigned on Thursday at 5:00 p.m., to be completed by Monday morning.
