Viva.com reviews about "salary"

Toxic environment Low salary No remote No clear career path

Salaries are poor, plus they still owe monthly bonuses since July and if you think a promotion comes with a salary raise, think again, you've got it wrong. They are very unreliable. Managers lacking significant skills, who have reached their positions only because more competent employees left the company to find something better. Also, there is a very strict work from the office policy, which is pointless and time consuming for the employees. As for the job, it’s essentially a call center. The methods they use are outdated, and there aren’t even basic automations for sending mass emails. Overall experience: terrible.

Toxic environment/culture, driven by one rude, arrogant, bullying guy, poor salaries, not WFH policy

1) No opportunities to grow. Promotions will be given only to close friends of the management. 2) Operations division is completely unorganized with upper management constantly exploiting work from home options when the official guidelines of the company restrict you to do so. 3) Bonuses were only allocated once and the salary increases were around 5% in 3.5 years. 4) Team managers have literally no idea of what your tasks are and are constantly micro managing hoping that their “work” will be evaluated. 5) Operations director has no idea on how to manage the department and is literally like there is no leadeship. 6) Facilities are mediocre with questionable hygiene. 7) No employee perks. Only a basic health insurance. 8) Stock option plan is a scam.

It was quite a toxic environment rising from how they deal with crisis and some superiors have no idea how to manage people or how to solve problems. Also, they did not offer the option to work from home, when you were sick or the weather was bad or during public transport strikes, as they were against that.

1) Unhealthy facilities. There is no paper on the WCs and the cleanliness level is borderline dangerous however if it happens and you visit the upper floors (management offices) you will see everything squeaky clean. Discrimination at it's finest. 2) Non-existent HR. Alll they care about are their gym sessions and to showoff in LinkedIN. Once you are in, boom they are ghosts. Outdated policies, ZERO support, ZERO development (there is not even a development related department within the company). 3) Salaries. Well below industry average. At least 300-700 euros less that what the rest of the industry is providing. 4) Benefits. Non-existent. A typical health insurance. Don't let the ''stock options'' fool you. These only exist for upper management and friends. 5) Transportation costs/arrangements and Work From Home. This is a typical Greek company. Nothing to be expected and zero flexibility. The company does not even provide you with parking spaces even though the facilities have 3 underground parking floors sitting empty. The spots are only reserved for managerial positions. They consider it a perk so this should give you a great indication of how much the company cares for you! 6)Development Opportunities: Non-existent. Managerial positions are taken over from friends and family and whoever is not disagreeing with the ludacrous upper management. Funny that our manager had no idea about our tasks/expertise! 7)KPIS. Unclear, non-existent on most teams with unpaid overtimes. Directors and upper managers will leave the office at whatever time they wish or they will exploit Work From Home options while you are forced to come to the office even when there is a public strike at your own costs. Overall verdict: The company follows the CEO's values. A typical greek guy, with no manners who is a little bit clever and lucky than average. If you are planning to join the company be prepared for extreme micromanagement, incompetent directors (especially on the operations department) and no benefits at all. Simply, look elsewhere to save your mental health. Joining the company has been my biggest career mistake and I'm currently actively looking at other opportunities.

- Micromanagement - Incapable leadership/management - In case you work hybrid, you can not be promoted to management level and you are not eligible for stock options - People speaking their own work language making communication with stakeholders insufferable - Impossible deadlines, irrational pressure and bad treatment from management - Don’t expect salary increases and promotions. Layoffs are most possible. (I wasn’t laid off) - Sales people are being really taken advantage of, in comparison with other companies. - CEO would probably take the company to the ground before selling/merging. And that’s what he does, taking advantage of low competition in the market. - Expensive food at cafeteria - If they tell you about a bonus scheme, please, don’t believe them - Benefits, apart from private health insurance, are non-existent In general, company is heading to the ground if at least one serious competitor emerges.

Salary and growth inexistent there

- super toxic environment - HR with lack of knowledge, experience and empathy, not caring about for employees. No culture and values - politics and micromanagement - lack of direction, unfair salaries and bonuses, unclear strategy
