Dear former colleague,
We are of course sad to hear this is your experience working with us and will of course work on getting better at the micro management part. I am sad that you have not brought that up while you were with us.
We are also sad to hear that you have experienced overnights, headaches etc. - I expect you are thinking about long evenings at work? If this is the case we are of course sad, that his has been your experience, as I am not aware of any employee here who have worked late at any point during the past couple of years, except myself as part of management. I am not aware of any employees having been forced to work late or even extra hours at any point during the past couple of years. If this is the case I would like to hear more, as I have tried to be open and engage with colleagues about what I could do differently.
I am of course sorry to read about your experience here and would love to hear your feedback. I wish you all the best wherever you are today and where you are going.
Kind regards
- Low hierarchy. If you have a well-founded opinion, you get to actually change things.
- Good mentality towards R&D. If you have downtime between projects, you're free to pick up an R&D project and start tinkering with it. I've so far suggested 2 R&D projects that I could work on and was allowed to dedicated a good chunk of time both times.
- Very positive company culture
- Lots of social events. In the time I've been here, we've had a grand total of 14 social events, ranging from board game night to cinema night to pub crawls to LAN parties.
- Located nicely in terms of public transportation
- Food is usually ranging around 7/10-9/10 in terms of my personal rating
- All sizes of projects. Whether you prefer small projects, big ones or from time to time even consulting at other companies, they've managed to secure that you can do that.
- Company trips to conferences, both in other countries and within Denmark is usually bi-annually, if not more often.
Cons
- Benefits package is fine, but can be sub-par compared to other tech places.
- Can be unorganized, seeing as the company has a very loose structure. Does not bother me personally, but could bother other people.
Low hierarchy.
Variety of tasks and assignments using the latest web technology.
Responsibilities and the means to make a difference.
Focus on quality and real dedication for customers.
Attractive salary.
Central workplace
Flexibility on work time and hours.
International atmosphere with english as working language.
Cons
As a fast growing company not everything is in place. The introduction of new employees could be better, but they are working on it.
Sometimes very busy.
