Not experienced local leadership (especially for leading people), employees micromanaged by the local unit manager which make us feel suffocated and confined in our role. Local leadership takes various roles within the teams being involved everywhere. Badmouthing employees behind their backs to their colleagues. The overall office in Skopje is operating in very toxic culture, drowning in gossiping and passing confidential information, and the local unit manager is focusing more on employees weaknesses rather than strengths. Seems recognition, perks and promotions happen only to people close to the local unit manager as followers, not based on performance, achievement and technical knowledge. For the first time in my professional career, I never felt encouraged to learn more and become better developer by the local management. Picking favourites and operate in a bubble with them, not evaluating employees based on their tech/dev/agile competencies and qualifications. Definitely not fighting for better promotion of employees from Skopje office across the company, just looking to strenghten their position. Making decisions through "she said, he said", totally dissapointing. A lot of people in more senior roles without experience and competencies, not being mentored, just "go with the flow" without any strategy at all.

Management do not listen to the workers. New staff being brought in from the mortgage industry which is completely different to the insurance industry, they literally do not have a clue. Old boys club, it's not what you know it is most definitely who you know here. Bringing new people in on massive salaries who under perform to the detriment of other colleagues who are hitting sales targets and are on much lower salaries.
