Pros

It used to be a very energetic business with a positive mindset from everyone.

Cons

Disheartening experience. From the lack of company culture to the absence of a clear mission, it is evident that this organization is plagued by severe management issues. Trust in the management team, including the founders, is practically non-existent, as their actions consistently demonstrate a lack of transparency and accountability. One of the most troubling aspects is the company's attempt to conceal the true extent of employee layoffs that have occurred over the past year. This lack of transparency breeds an atmosphere of uncertainty and distrust among the remaining staff. The HR team, unfortunately, proves to be utterly useless in addressing employee concerns or providing any meaningful support. This myopic approach is detrimental not only to the company's overall performance but also to the satisfaction of fashion brands that work with them. These brands consistently express disappointment due to the company's underwhelming performance and lack of strategic direction. The lack of a thriving company culture, vague mission, untrustworthy management, and a vague approach to layoffs, contributed to an extremely negative work environment.

Dear O-member, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear your concerns. The last year has, just like for many other young companies, been very challenging. As part thereof, we had to take very difficult decisions that had a direct impact on our employees. While we always try to do that with utmost care for the affected people (as well as the people staying) we fully realize these decisions are hard to get by. We have tried to be very transparent about the reasons for downsizing our teams and are very much focused on improving the positive environment and focus on the well-being and general morale of our employees. Thank you again for your feedback and should there be anything you would like to discuss in person, the People team at Otrium is always there for you. Thank you, Talent & Culture team.

Dear alumni O-member, Thank you for sharing your feedback and thank you for your work with us. :) We're glad to read you were able to get a lot of experience and exposure and we hope that was a plus for your future experiences. Regarding the layoffs, unfortunately, the last year has, just like for many other young companies, been very challenging. As part thereof, we had to take very difficult decisions that had a direct impact on our employees in the beginning of the year. We wish you all the best, People team
