Pros

Couple of nice colleagues, working from home is encouraged. Customers seem to like the product. I got offered a good salary.

Cons

During my exit interview I was offered money if I signed a document I would not leave a negative review here.

During my employment, I got offered money to place a positive review here.

Didn't take both of those offers, obviously.

Horrible management culture where people are being treated like garbage, issues always get blamed on the new people in the team (on systems they didn't even touch).

Colleagues are openly hating on entire groups of the population, open discussion of sexual stuff, if you say something about it you get called names by colleagues.

They don't hire "adults" like they say on their website.

I've met some of the most immature people ever in this company.

Almost impossible to take a day off.

Even during a family emergency, it was next to impossible to take a day off.

I took a couple of days off, and got called names and blamed for a bunch of things that happened during my leave, basically everything that went wrong got blamed on me.

Weirdest place I have ever worked at, almost cultish.

Entire sales team is made out of people who are being called names in the open, and certain customers get bullied away if they don't 100% align with the moral values of the management.

We most certainly missed a bunch of big business opportunities and big clients because some higher-ups had small complaints about stuff that happened at their company 10 years or even longer ago.

Advice to Management

Please make this a less hostile place.

Punish openly talking about sexual stuff on the working floor.

Do something about the almost cultish culture, and new people getting blamed on everything that goes wrong in the day to day operation.

Make sure people can keep a healthy work-life balance.

Stop doing morality checks on your customers.

You have missed at least a couple of big deals due to this behaviour.
