Pros

Decent salary, interesting clients, travel.

Cons

Very toxic environment. Yes, they give you barbeques on fridays every now and then, and take you on a fancy yearly trip, but they mistreat and overwork employees on a day to day basis. They guilt you into spending as much time at the office as possible, to only socialize with coworkers, otherwise you're not "a team player". HR is only there to tell on employees to the owner.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all comments seriously and value the experiences of both current and former employees. At YAMA Group, we strive to create a positive, inclusive, and collaborative environment, and we're committed to the well-being of all team members. While we are proud of our efforts to foster camaraderie through events like Friday BBQs and our annual trip, we understand that maintaining a healthy work-life balance is equally important. We continuously work to improve this balance and ensure that every employee feels supported in their role. Our HR team is dedicated to building a fair, respectful, and transparent workplace where everyone feels heard. In this case, we worked on various performance improvement plans and invested significant effort, flexibility and time to address both behavioral and performance issues. Unfortunately, despite these efforts, the issues persisted, and after much consideration, we ultimately decided to part ways. While we strive to make every hire a valuable addition to the team, we recognize that not every hire will be a good fit, and we learn from these experiences to improve our processes. We regret that your experience didn’t align with our values, and we wish you the best in your future endeavors. If you would like to talk more about your concerns, please feel free to reach out directly. We remain committed to making YAMA Group a great place to work.

Pros

Well... where should I begin? From the very first day I arrived, it already felt like this was going to be an incredible experience. And it truly was, on a personal level. I've made great friendships, shared amazing moments together, had the best barbecues, celebrated collective achievements with getaways, birthdays, and so much more. The YAMABreak was an experience I had never had in any other workplace. Yann and Martín have this spirit of making you feel at home, and above all, they have put so much emphasis and effort into creating an incredible work philosophy and culture. On a professional level, I feel like I came in as a boy and I'm leaving as a man, with a multitude of experiences and challenges that we always managed to overcome by working fiercely as a team. These two years have been a period of constant growth, and they always provided us with everything we needed to surpass ourselves every day, facing increasingly difficult and demanding tests. To wrap it up, I just want to say that I'm leaving feeling very sad, but with the certainty that we will stay in touch because what I have lived during these almost two years will remain in my heart forever. Thank you for everything, and I apologize if there were ever any moments when I felt like I was lacking in something. My intention was always to fulfill everything and, above all, be a good colleague.

Cons

The only downside I find at YAMA is that I won't be around to witness how this beautiful place continues to grow.

Pros

Two years to the date of statue, I’ve lived meditations. They responded to my post here. They were expecting that I may file a suit. I should have.

Cons

Myopic Tunnel vision Money over clients Harass employees over appearance they cannot control due to degenerative illness
