So much talent… wasted - Software Engineer WINGS ICT Solutions Employee Review

- Very good colleagues and generally supportive peers - Salary above the market average

- The company operates in a project-based model rather than a product-based one, focusing almost exclusively on EU-funded projects - Extremely unclear requirements: there is often no shared understanding of what needs to be delivered, and employees are expected to figure this out on their own - Lack of established best practices in development and production processes; overall organization feels ad hoc and fragile - Absence of technically competent management capable of guiding less experienced employees or making informed decisions at the architectural and organizational level - A general lack of trust toward employees appears to be the default management attitude, influencing day-to-day decisions and internal policies - Very high employee turnover, resulting in: - little to no continuity across projects - frequent loss of knowledge - new hires joining with almost no context, documentation, or onboarding support - Inconsistent and unequal treatment of employees: for example, a company-wide decision to allow one remote-working day was announced and then revoked the following day, with additional remote days granted selectively - High expectations without clear direction, priorities, or support - Inappropriate and sometimes offensive language has been used in calls when referring to colleagues - Responsibility and accountability are frequently pushed downward, while authority and decision-making remain unclear or centralized

Good environment for those starting their professional career. Competitive salaries compared to the wider market. Supportive and friendly colleagues, with a generally positive team atmosphere. Projects with interesting and challenging aspects that provide learning opportunities.

Limited (to zero) presence of senior-level professionals, which can affect the level of technical mentorship available. Relatively high employee turnover, leading to frequent team changes and less long-term stability. Most managers lack strong technical expertise and advanced people-management skills, which impact team guidance and support. Project timelines and responsibilities are most of the time unclear, leading to challenges in prioritization and execution. No structured performance review process in place, resulting in missed opportunities for timely feedback and professional development. Numerous daily and weekly meetings with little substance, which end up reducing productive work time. Remote work is not offered, mainly due to concerns around trust and oversight. Excessive micromanagement from the Executives and mostly from the CEO, even in technical details. Firing a lot of people out of the blue, without notice period even if they are part of the company for a lot of years.
