Horizon Software has GREAT PEOPLE!

Pros

I don't believe that there is a current or former employee of Horizon that would not agree that Horizon has GREAT PEOPLE. It's easy to love what you do when you work with such a great team!

Cons

Change is inevitable when going from a private to a public company. If you are someone that can embrace change and move forward.. then you are more than likely one of the many tenured employees at Horizon!

Pros

The company is understaffed, which means you get to do and learn a lot of tasks. It’s really interesting, and the learning curve is steep. I had the chance to travel to different countries with Horizon since their clients are international. I really appreciate my N+2, a very professional and empathetic manager, which, of course, sometimes creates friction with HR. He knows when and how to defend his team. I've met a lot of interesting people at Horizon with diverse backgrounds.

Cons

I feel like the HR policy is not aligned with my needs. There is no transparency, no flexibility, and no consideration of employees' needs. They minimize costs even though it could affect the employees. They don’t align with compensation trends in the industry, which has left me underpaid for all the tasks I do. There is no recognition of the work done, and it's not valued by the hierarchy. It's a toxic environment for me to work in. My colleagues and I face a lot of pressure, which causes them to behave in a hostile way. The company offers the bare minimum in benefits (e.g., meal vouchers of €7, half-paid Navigo pass). It’s really complicated to find answers to my questions; people usually either don’t have time or aren’t in the mood to help. Additionally, my manager (N+1) engages in micromanagement, which is unbearable. I could not support being there anymore.

Pros

Great place for entry level professionals to gain experience for a long term career elsewhere. Great product options for the market.

Cons

Horizon starts off at a lower pay rate than most companies and raises are far and few. No room for growth unless someone quits and Is easy to hit a no growth point. Overall limited growth and lower pay.
