Pros

Nice office. HR people are nice and solve issues effectively.

Cons

- Onboarding very poor. They just give you your equipments, show you a bit of the App, and let you alone surfing it by yourself. - teams are very bad organized. There’re no planning meetings, no retros, only dailys where they don’t communicate properly. - Product management is bad. The strategy for projects and timeline is basically non-existent. The CEO makes changes on projects when they’re are almost ready to live. - There’s no career tracking. You have to ask for feedback. - People are terminated with no communication more than “x has been terminated, if you want info ask” - if you wfh you have to set to a fixed time. - Management don’t know about projects scope and timelines so then they blame people for their bad strategy. No self-criticism.

Pros

I’ve been at Holded for a few years, and overall it’s been a really good place to grow. If you’re proactive and willing to push a bit, there’s definitely room to move up and shape your own career path. There are some nice perks too, a great lunch allowance, an office with a sea view, and a yearly bonus. What really made a difference for me was the team. I’ve been lucky to work with amazing, supportive people who made day-to-day life fun and enjoyable. Always ready to help, good vibes, and lots of laughs.

Cons

On the flip side, things can get messy at the management level. Scope and responsibilities are often unclear, and it sometimes feels like you’re constantly saving the day for people who got promoted just for sticking around long enough. There’s also a bit of micromanagement here and there, which can be frustrating. But if you find yourself in a solid team (which many are!), and you’re good at navigating a bit of chaos, it can be a genuinely rewarding place to be.
