Pessima esperienza - Frontend Developer Claranet Employee Review

Great work environment, excelente work-life balance and ok sallary

Very disorganized and lack of work planning

There are some pockets of great people but honestlyq most of them have left.

From day one, it was clear this company lacked direction, leadership and any meaningful long term plan. The level of dysfunction was genuinely shocking. Redundancies happened so regularly that they felt like a quarterly business activity rather than a last resort. Despite this, there never seemed to be any reflection on the decisions that led to the situation. Accountability sat firmly with everyone except those making the decisions. The leadership team appeared completely out of their depth. People with little to no relevant experience were put in charge of critical functions, including sales, business development and people management. There was a constant sense that nobody was actually steering the ship, yet those at the top somehow avoided responsibility whenever things went wrong. Promotions often felt disconnected from performance or contribution. Meanwhile, talented people who were doing the heavy lifting received little recognition, support or reward. Management capability was particularly poor, with some team leaders having no obvious management experience and lacking even the basic communication skills needed to lead effectively. Honest feedback was actively avoided. Problems were ignored until they became impossible to hide, and then the cycle would repeat itself. HR was particularly disappointing. Rather than listening to employee concerns and acting as an impartial support function, there were multiple occasions where legitimate issues were met with defensiveness, arguments or attempts to justify the status quo. It often felt less like they were there to support employees and more like they were focused on protecting leadership and covering the company’s back. Many employees seemed to spend their time navigating internal politics and protecting themselves from the next round of cuts rather than focusing on doing good work. The lowest point was seeing employees on maternity leave made redundant. For many, this felt like a new low and raised serious questions about the company’s values. There are some genuinely hardworking and talented people here, and I feel for them. Unfortunately, they are operating within a culture of poor leadership, weak accountability and constant instability. I could list examples all day, but the underlying issue is simple: the company has a leadership problem, and everyone else pays the price for it.
