      Toxic team culture and worst manager by far

      Structurer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Health insurance is good Pension is good Salary OK Nothing else

      Cons

      By far the worst workplace experience of my career. The team environment was toxic, no collaboration, jealousy, and no onboarding, no clear performance expectations. Leadership lacked direction, unhelpful , and make you feel inadequate. The only redeeming feature was the health insurance (so I got access to psychological support to get out from there asap).

      It’s great to hear that the trust and autonomy in how work is approached, along with supportive colleagues, made a positive impact. We understand that compensation outcomes can feel different year to year as they reflect a range of factors as part of our broader approach to rewarding employees.

      Retirement job

      Assistant vice president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fair and transparent pay. Very good benefits (make you want to work here till retirement). Friendly and knowledgeable colleagues. Good knowledge sharing culture.

      Cons

      Internal reorganization is too frequent. Many management decisions are not thought through before implementation. Slow in growth even if you outperform.

      Thank you for your review. It’s great to hear that fair and transparent pay, strong benefits, and a collaborative culture made a positive impression, along with the knowledge sharing across teams. We also recognize that periods of change and career progression can feel challenging at times, but these are areas that help us grow and adapt as an organization while creating better opportunities for our employees.
