We at some point had the chance to do work from home two days a week but it was cut down to just one. The management justified this simply saying that it was not the kind of culture they wanted to have in the company. To me this is a no argument, the only possible way to justify such a change is to argue that there was a drop in productivity or something similar. The company had recently invested in remodeling their offices and the impression we got was simply that they felt that they had to make people be there to use the new space because 'yes'. But this is disconnected from the reality of how troublesome, time and money consuming is commuting in this country to the specific location where the company is.
Projects besides the usual work for clients like say pitches or internal projects were extremely poorly handled. Projects lacked vision and leadership and I felt the results delivered although not bad could have been much better had they received proper attention.
Growth opportunities in general seemed minimal. Several co workers had been promised different things by the leadership during their time at the company but the company never delivered. There was a terrible tendency to create big expectations for employees just to keep them excited about working there but as time went on we realized things simply stayed the same.
Expectations set by the management were very high: good presentation skills, fluency in English, great technical skills, involvement in internal projects and pitches were all expected but the salary me and many co workers received simply wasn't proportional to all the work and skills we were required to put on the table. I'm aware of similar companies in the country that ask a lot less of employees and yet they earn the same or more than at Hangar.
