PrestaShop Reviews

- Full disclosure: I waited two years to write this review because they will probably figure out who I am and give bad references. I know this to be a fact but I have enough experience at other companies that I'm not worried about at all anymore. I didn't want to be petty and write a bad review but they need it. Moreover, I spoke to current employees and partners and they all agree that PrestaShop has not gotten better but continued to get worse, both in the software and in the organization internally. I really trying to give the best advice here. I have no reason to write this other than to help potential prospects and partners. Only go here if you have nowhere else to go, as a temporary measure... If you really feel you got lucky getting this job with whatever salary they give you, do it. But never take this job over another. -The career opportunities are NOT there, no matter what they tell you. There are no opportunities within the company, or once you leave, see the next point why. -Reminder: NOBODY has heard of PrestaShop, only some people in Paris and some developers in the US know about it. You're better off being a Office Admin for Salesforce than a Director/Manager at PrestaShop -It has a BAD reputation from all the years of incompetency and arrogance. -Executives (all French) do not care about you (Miami). They care about their French employees. -The Miami employees that actually do stay there 2+ years are making a mistake (like me). - If you ask ANYBODY who got fired/quit this company (so many!), there is a 100% chance they are happy somewhere else. I know because I still talk to 10 former coworkers. - NO RAISES. Don't even think about it. I'm serious. I'm talking about a 1.5% raise when salary is less than 40K, it's a complete joke. -You are replaceable, dispensable. They look for cheap young talent, then they tell you you're talented until it comes to review time, then all of the sudden you're a horrible employee. - It's clear to me that the main people in charge have never ever run a company that actually cared about their employees' growth. - Don't even get me started on Benefits... Horrible.

There are so many things wrong that anything I write here will just be the tip of the iceberg. For some employees, is easy to do "nothing" all day as intermediate managers seem to not care anymore. Old employees with clear no value are still kept as it would be too expensive to let them go. Best employees left PrestaShop long ago. Gossip and rumours all over the place. No innovation, instead they are walking backwards, even if they say they are Agile. Terrible management, including all sorts: human, salary negotiation and career development.
