Pros

- Cool coworkers - Home office available (before the pandemic) - Quite flexible working hours (e.g. no problem to go to see a doctor during working hrs) - Experience gained to start working somewhere else ;) (but seriously...if you have an opportunity to start somewhere else - don't waste your time here)

Cons

The biggest con of the company is its CEO, micromanaging and hard to work with person. Hard to create any positive relation with. HR (meaning coaching, solving any hr-related problems, motivation programs) doesn't exist - it's for payroll and recruitment only. Salary not competitive, rise not common (and if appears - really embarrassing amount), promotions hardly seen. Recruitment for higher positions: for family or friends of top management quite often (promotions from lower positions hardly seen). Working hours depending on department: operations dept - working more than 8hrs every day, weekend shifts about 14hrs a day (whole weekend every few weeks); client service and IT - quite normal (~8hr/day). Stressful atmosphere very often - especially when something (fail) happens, this could be solved by wise managing. No onboardings, workshops or trainings - my onboarding briefly was "sit and work", so first few months were really stressful. If you want to really learn something about eCommerce I strongly recommend to do that somewhere else. Here you can gain just a short experience (and very narrow knowledge tbh) to get an offer in another eComm company/agency.

Pros

Working at eStoreMedia for several years was not just a job, but a privilege. This opportunity marked a significant turn in my career, allowing me to delve into the dynamic world of e-commerce and chart a new professional path. My time at eStoreMedia was enriched by the company's vibrant community. I encountered exceptionally intelligent individuals who were not only skilled but also upheld admirable values. This collaborative environment, where knowledge and resources were readily accessible, truly helped me grow. The readiness of everyone, from my immediate superior to the CEO, to lend support in facing challenges, was remarkable. Before joining eStoreMedia, my experience with this size of company was limited. However, the HR department here stood out as a true pillar of support. They weren't just a functional department but a nurturing force, genuinely caring for and guiding the staff. It was only after leaving eStoreMedia that I fully grasped the depth of this community's influence. The ongoing support extended by both current and former colleagues is extraordinary, particularly evident when celebrating professional milestones on social media. I've observed numerous ex-eStoreMedia team members collaborating in new ventures, a testament to the enduring bonds and the 'village effect' cultivated at eStoreMedia. To anyone considering a career with eStoreMedia, I cannot recommend it enough. It's not just a place to work, it's a springboard that propels your professional journey forward, surrounded by a supportive and empowering community.

Cons

Businesses working in the e-commerce industry are fast-moving, and constantly improving and you need to be able to work and adapt at the same speed.
