Pros
- The colleagues are great; dedicated, talented, but mostly very nice people to work with but also hang out with after work - SSI Europe works mostly in online market research industry, and it's a dynamic market.
Cons
- Top management is completely incompetent. Their only concern is for their own wallets, and employees are pushed to work to the maximum without (extra) compensation - Problems are never solved, because top management always reacts to issues instead of pro-actively preventing them from happening - even when employees alert them and offer solutions - You don't get promoted unless you have a friend in higher management - There are no clear career paths, nor internal vacancies for manager's functions - Women and minorities have very little chance of getting a high position. Not a single women in the management board, even though there are more than 10 people in it - One big political mess - employees have to continuously clean up management's mess It shouldn't be a surprise turnover is excessively high. Several people have had a burn out at this company
