They don't know who to hire. they hire then work two days then fire.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
there were a few very friendly people in office and HR who were very helpful and supportive during the whole hiring steps which make you feel more interested in getting into this company.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The company has a deeply unprofessional hiring process. They fire employees without providing any clear reason or prior discussions about expectations, leaving no opportunity for the employee to understand or meet their requirements. There is no communication about what they want, and they don’t give employees a chance to address potential concerns before being dismissed.
During my interview, I raised questions about the negative Kununu ratings. They assured me that those low ratings were not related to their team. However, this was misleading. I can confirm that the negative reviews are accurate, at least when it comes to the main messaging team. The work environment is extremely pressured from day one, and the lead lacks the ability to properly assess candidates before hiring, which can lead to significant damage to people’s lives.
Another issue I faced was that they used their internal problems as interview assignments, essentially asking candidates to help them solve their issues. This is completely unprofessional and inappropriate for an interview process. Although there were four interview stages, they failed to ask meaningful questions that would allow for a fair evaluation of the candidate's skills. Instead, they assigned a highly time-consuming coding challenge, which was poorly designed and further highlighted their lack of knowledge in assessing applicants. After hiring, they assess whether they can work with you over a few days, only to waste your time and terminate you shortly after.
During my interview, I wasn't challenged in a meaningful way. I was given two tasks: one was a time-consuming programming task that I completed perfectly, and the other was an internal issue that they later forgot to even discuss in the follow-up meeting.
The company shows no respect for your time or the impact that being hired and then fired can have on your life. They hire knowing full well they can fire you at any moment, with no regard for the personal and financial costs you may face as a result.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
sending their team leads to other companies for a while and see if they can start working productively the first week on the new projects. or at least see how other companies and team leads are doing on boarding.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
from the first day I could feel a lot of pressure and stress
Kommunikation
no communication. they say a word and want you to understand everything from the first day.
Work-Life-Balance
I doubt if you can have a work-life balance there.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
The worst possible behaviour. no explanation of what they want and after second day at work they start complaining about your work. They have no idea of what is their responsibility for onboarding a new comer.
Arbeitsbedingungen
too much pressure and stress. The first day I got some tasks to do regarding starting up the system. the team lead was coming to me in between meetings and asking me to do other stuff and pushing me to resolve a bug in order to assess my skills while I had no idea about the business of the company. Finaly after 2 weeks I could not finish the first day check list because team lead wanted me other things.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
with the work load and the expectations they have, salaries do not match.

Arbeitgeber-Kommentar
Hello,
We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, though we’re sorry to hear that your experience with ecosio was so negative. We’d like to take a moment to address some of the concerns you raised in your review.
First, you mentioned that the hiring process was unprofessional. To clarify, our process consists of four interview stages, which is more comprehensive than what many companies offer. Additionally, our hiring process is transparent, fair, and openly listed on our career page for all candidates to review beforehand. Once hired, all employees start with a probation period, which is a legal requirement in all the countries where we operate and hire. This period is not just for us to assess your fit with the team, but also for you to raise any concerns. If you’re uncomfortable addressing them directly with your team lead, we have various channels available, including our HR team, Heads of Departments, or Managing Directors, who are always open to listening. While it’s unfortunate that your contract ended during this time, it’s important to note that such situations are rare.
Regarding your comment about using internal issues as interview assignments, we aim to provide tasks that are closely aligned with the actual day-to-day work you would encounter. This approach allows us to see how candidates might handle relevant challenges and also gives candidates a better understanding of the tasks they might face after starting with us. We're sorry if this felt inappropriate to you, but it was intended to be practical and insightful, not burdensome.
Lastly, we understand that you felt stressed and pressured. We strive to maintain a balanced environment, and we regret that this was not reflected in your experience. We genuinely hope that you find a work environment that better suits your expectations and wish you the best moving forward.
Kind regards,
The ecosio team
