Pros

- Some of my colleagues were excellent - Some of the portfolio was interesting and had (still has) legs

Cons

Known the company for a very long time and some time ago it was a beacon of productivity, efficiency and had the Midas touch with M and A activity. Then I joined and really the last few acquisitions have been poorly integrated. So many channels and one cannibalises another and so many shared resources that progress is non-existent and has been replaced by infighting and politicking. Additionally very focused on share price to the detriment of staff energy levels. The fundamental question is always what would the investors think – instead of quality and long term evolution. A lot of mid-level managers from other Scandinavian telco vendors have joined and have diluted the culture to be like those beacons of fat and insipid mid-management. Culture eats strategy but the culture is now quite poor unfortunately and sadly even culture has no strategy to eat. Admittedly some teams seem to function well but that’s as a result of rounded individuals leading them. Taking on back office staff from aforementioned Scandinavian behemoths has ruined Sinch – staff turnover is huge and this is a canary in the coal mine. Lots of seasoned Sinch veterans are at a loss as to what to do and some will eventually move to rivals whom are perhaps better positioned to tackle CPaaS such as it is.

Pros

Good salary, additional monetary bonus

Cons

It was a complete mismatch of values between me and Sinch. I value experimentation, continuous learning, friendly and helpful colleagues, and being seen as a human being, among other things. My experience at Sinch is as follows: - Status quo triumphed over new ideas - Learning opportunity was limited to only my job description (as per the employee handbook at that time, external training was heavily down-prioritized) - My colleagues were mainly interested in having a transactional relationship instead of a social relationship - I was only my role, and nothing more During the worst period of COVID-19, many of my colleagues (or their families) in a particular country were sick and were unable to work. I tried to protect them and let them recover before returning to work. Still, another colleague insisted they should continue working on one specific thing. For me, that was the nail in the coffin. It was very dehumanizing and I knew I had to leave.

Pros

Nothing that is positive about Sinch

Cons

I have seen staff who work hard and contribute, who are made redundant all because of Sinch budgets. You always have to check your back just incase Sinch management are holding a knife over you!
