Pros

None. The original FixxIT was by no means an ideal (or even good) option for immigrants, but at least used to be viable for South African developers seeking employment in the Netherlands. Since becoming Entelect Netherlands the firm quickly devolved into a body-shop. More details below.

Cons

Static salary brackets based on the exact minimum legal salary for knowledge migrants in the Netherlands. Day one of your job happens to also be your financial ceiling (apart from the 30% tax ruling) regardless of any future performance. Firm bent on forcing the insanity of South African corporate culture onto individuals who specifically emigrated AWAY from said culture. Belittling of employees, who wish to discuss issues within the company, with childish name-calling and insults - both verbal and in internal emails. HR-related services only available two days of the week. Hard luck if you need anything urgently.

Thank you for your kind words and for being part of the Entelect journey for the past few years! We appreciate the honest feedback on senior progression. The bar is high, but we are always looking at how to make those pathways clearer and better supported.
