Exiger reviews about "manager"

- Discretionary time off is a scam. The company promoted unlimited time off but whenever you need to apply for more than 20 days of paid leave, the HR will use every means to hinder e.g. delayed approval, or give pressures to your team leads to explain . But 20 days standalone is more than industry average. - For research associate there’s a demerit point system for every works you do, and it is purely punitive. Recently they even introduced a snitching system for colleagues to actively send email to others’ team leads to talk about what you have done wrong in each case, no matter how small or big is the mistake. - Salary is super low, compared to the workload coming along. And even though you have maintained outstanding work quality throughout the year and finally got a promotion to senior / manager, the salary adjustment would always be within 5%. Promotion head count is also very limited. And for those who don’t get promoted, expect only $100 rise per year. - Always not given enough time to work, expect frequent overtime working. The company requires OT work to be pre-approved such that you can receive OT pay, which means, any OT works resulted from urgent requests or delays from others that you cannot anticipate won’t get paid. - Now there is no more full time remote position. All hybrid staff are required to return to office twice a week.

Sometimes going to the office is mandadory and managers will tell you what is appropriate to ask the visiting managers.

The majority of your day is spent doing mind numbing tasks which could be automated. Lack of challenging work with no real transferable skills being taught. Lack of guidance on what is expected of you. Documentation is all over the place and you are expected to sift through many different sources when they could easily centralize and organize this data. My manager was toxic, skipping my 1-1 calls, constantly passive aggressive. Maybe this could be a good first job for someone that has little to no real IT background. If you expect any sort of challenge you will quickly get bored here.

Extremely toxic working environment and poor management. You will be welcomed with flowers and immediately be thrown into tasks without minimum training or introduction to the code base. Surrounded by yellow crocodile smiles, and pressured to finish tasks with unrealistic deadlines, you will immediately feel the unease and discomfort. Extremely fast-paced working dynamics in which you’re expected to deliver high quality work in a very very short amount of time, to be eventually responsible for code quality issues that has nothing to do with anything but over-commitment and serious architectural and design issues in the code. Competition among team members is so sick and come against the company “ideals” of “we should not compete with each other”. You will start noticing people ignoring & disrespecting you for no reason, people who say things behind your back but not to your face, and are willing at any moment to throw you under the bus. Managers are not fair and the company seems to have the trend of bringing in really weird cowards. People from the out-of-norm humanity spectrum and put them in positions of responsibility under a bloated job titles to make them feel important. If you came from a decent social and academic environment, you will be questioning your self worth and value being among those zero-personality sociopaths. This company might be good solution if you are jobless, USE IT TEMPORARILY UNTIL YOU FINDA NEW JOB, and then immediately RUN! At the end of the day, you would want to be managed by true mangers, not a stupid scrum masters.

So sad how your boss and their peers don’t care about you. They are more focused on their salary and getting paid the big bucks while you just get tossed to the side as trash. There is no integrity and honesty from a few leaders. They will never own up to a mistake. It’s all about their benefit. If you make a mistake - and if your manager hates you, be prepared to be treated terrible and for your replacement to start being planned ahead while you still are working hard without you having a clue that your end time is coming. I think this only happened with my position as it was not a top level. Betrayed is what you will get and you will never be given kudos for your hard work. Instead of helping me grow- my manager didn’t care about my growth and didn’t feel the need to expose me to new challenges and see me succeed. It’s so sad to see that people in the company can treat someone who doesn’t have as high position as an inferior. This review is only for what i experienced with my manager and a few of his team members.

Communication with other teams within the company was often challenging; it could take days to get a response via Slack or email, even when colleagues were not on vacation. After being laid off (not due to performance), I was never given a clear reason for my departure. Later, when I learned of a similar role opening up, a former coworker encouraged me to reapply. I provided my information and was given two weeks, but I wasn’t offered an interview or any clear feedback. Instead, I received a brief email stating I wasn’t selected for the position, despite having worked there for a year. My attempts to follow up with the talent acquisition team went unanswered, which left me feeling undervalued as a past employee.

Toxic manager and HR at the Bucharest office, you have to deal with both micro management, and with a manager that likes to laugh at the overworked employees in the monthly meetings. High work volumes and overtime for a small salary.
