Stay Away! Poor Management!
Kommunikation
Extremely unsatisfactory comminication! My manager was responsible for a team of 20 individuals without allocating time for meaningful one-on-one interactions. She seemed unaware of the challenges I consistently brought to her attention and at the end she used those against me. I felt unsupported and undervalued. It's concerning that leadership put someone who lacks the necessary qualifications as a teamlead of a team 20! It appeared her primary focus was impressing higher-ups rather than effectively managing the team. I was excluded from the end-of-probation peer review, as she explicitly stated that regardless of others' opinions of me, it was solely 'her decision' not to include me in the team. Just Wow!
There is an excessive amount of office politics, and there appears to be a lack of proper training among employees to support each other effectively. I notice individuals striving to elevate themselves by stepping on others' throats, aiming to appear superior, more significant, or to showcase their work as more valuable.

The HR conversation suggest remote work opportunities, yet employees residing outside the area frequently incur travel expenses not reimbursed by the company.

The office is quite rundown and situated in a less-than-ideal location. However, the People team makes commendable efforts to cultivate a fun atmosphere, which is truly appreciated. Kudos to them for their dedication!
