Remote reviews

No one has any idea what they are doing. People are hired with no experience of the countries they will be working on as there is no organisation to begin with. Just get people in then figure it out rather than assess gaps and plan territories accordingly. Most people are a payroll, benefits, or onboarding expert for 8 countries they have never worked on before and are trained by people with no experience either. You will never have time to learn anything properly before being in the deep end with angry employees and clients chasing for answers. The company sees themselves as a software company but they are an HR consultancy with very little experience in global hiring and employment who are then trying to educate clients and employees about hiring/working in an unfamiliar country. It is a recipie for disaster. It is awful how many mistakes there are with pay, benefits, legal confusion and employees saying this isn’t compliant in this country etc. it’s too much too soon with the number of countries being opened with no plans testing or training of those countries. I was shocked at the margin of error that was allowed when it comes to employment and pay. Plus alongside this Management randomly announcing things like “no more Google sheets from today” with no thought of that impact or plan to transfer the reliance on Google sheets onto the software is really not pragmatic or useful leadership and causes immense stress for people trying to do their jobs.

you've got to put in a lot of work
