Pros

Average pay and benefits. High potential industry

Cons

- I have seen 3 of my colleagues fall due to burnout and management lie about their condition. - Internal whistleblowers are fired within 24 hours, without notice. Which given Etex's legacy, is not a good sign. - It is wide spread that the company suffers cashflow issues every once in a while (but nobody is supposed to know), despite having passed all inflationary costs successfully. Fear always trickles down quickly (purposely so by some incompetent managers) only to effect the least advantaged employees. - lack of internal human resources procedures to deal with all of the mentioned issues. - (senior) IT executives openly expresses their racism to people of color. Seem to be untouchable.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We take all feedback seriously, and we appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. Addressing your specific concerns: • Employee Wellbeing: We are deeply concerned about the claims of employee mistreatment. We prioritise employee wellbeing, as reflected in our Culture and Values (https://www.etexgroup.com/en/join-our-team/culture-and-values/.) We have a zero-tolerance policy for retaliation and encourage open communication. Our value driven culture should ensure teammates at Etex feel safe when raising concerns without fear of repercussions. • Internal Whistleblowing: We have a dedicated whistleblower hotline, available for all teammates globally, and established procedures for reporting concerns. We investigate all reports thoroughly and take appropriate action. Terminating employees within 24 hours for whistleblowing is strictly against company policy. • Financial Transparency: We strive for financial transparency; we are debt free and like many businesses maintain a working capital to provide free cash flow. The current commercial outlook, in particular for construction, is weak however Etex Group is committed to long-term stability. We will raise your point with our teams to see what additional communications could be considered to keep all teammates informed. • Internal HR Procedures: We acknowledge the feedback on HR procedures. We are continuously improving our internal processes to ensure they are efficient and compliant with employment laws. • Diversity and Inclusion: Etex Group is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We take allegations of racism very seriously. We would like to actively work to address the concerns raised in this review. We encourage you and all our employees to utilise our internal reporting mechanisms to raise concerns directly. Alternatively, please use our third-party whistleblower hotline, details can be found on Etex Core, our intranet, and in our code of conduct. We believe in open communication and value your continued feedback.
