My experience is, unfortunately, very negative. What I faced, together with many colleagues who started with me and left either before I did or after, is the following: - heavy hierarchy, hence difficult communication, no touch points with the decision-makers, no discussions whatsoever; regardless of your level of expertise and experience, you are told precisely what to do and how to do it; - you are not allowed to question or discuss any of the decisions/projects you are supposed to implement; - high level of micromanagement to the point where your manager corrects your e-mails (unbelievable, right?! I have never seen something like that before); - high unprofessional approach within the People and Culture Department: people-related projects are implemented at high speed to score points in front of the CEOs at the cost of exhausted employees and, what is worst, with zero positive impact; later on, a realization comes that this wasn't the right approach, and the projects are redone often even faster than the first time; - unbelievably high turnover within the HR department, no handover, zero onboarding, and no proper time to catch up on what was done before; - they hired an interim who comes and goes because the people can not stand this environment and are leaving after 3-4-6 months; therefore, they have to re-hire the interim again; - people with experience are either leaving or getting fired because they have opinions and knowledge; the people who stay are either close to the management or too young (often this is their first job); - overall stressed and exhausted employees, close to burnout, who prefer to do what they are told to and not bother anymore to try something different and lose their well-paid job. If you are a professional with proven experience and passionate about what you do, rethink before joining the company - do some research, talk to people, and read reviews. This is something I still regret I haven't done beforehand.
