Where to begin.
Most severe above all, was that this company was not paying my health insurance contributions "because it was too complicated." I am out of the company and still dealing with this.
-"Happiness Company"- promotes toxic work culture. "Everything is great all the time" when in reality people are crying in the office, having mental breakdowns.
-I was terminated with absolutely no reason given. Despite a number of successful campaigns, establishing a successful non-subscription revenue channel, pushing growth in each channel. This is likely because I refused to work late into the night and tolerate people shouting at me in person and in all capitals over slack.
-Creative team is completely disconnected with sales efforts. The creative team "wants to go to Cannes" with their video productions, but in the time I was there not one single box was featured in the campaigns, meaning hundreds of thousands of euro are spent on creatives which have no effect on sales whatsoever- when actually sales-oriented campaigns are extremely overdue.
-Even the benefits are wrapped in downsides. Daily lunch only applies when you're in the office which is closed due to corona.
-Briefings are the absolute worst part of the company and change constantly. Sands shift and if you're not the one that participated in the change you're left out to dry.
-Employees driven to madness with too much responsibility, too much work. I saw employees crying in the office within the first weeks of work. ZERO resources available to you when you're given a task or want to take up a project. You cannot even build landing pages here.
-ZERO tech resources available. It's impossible to get a tracking pixel for anything. In my time there, the whole tech team was fired, hired, and quit within 6 months.
-Zero company vision for direction. No OKRs. No focus. Internal company values are flimsy and nothing created to sustain company culture is upheld.
-IT is non-existent... currently C-suite employee is managing IT tasks? An IT manager joined and left within a month. I signed nothing for my technology. I feel really lucky that nothing ever went wrong with my tech or I feel I would've been in a terrible situation.
-Archaic tech infrastructure meant that the website was migrated months before the whole old platform was switched off. The same is true in the tech stack. There is NO INTERNAL CRM SYSTEM. Mails are set up manually in autopilot which fails constantly. Member benefits were pulled out from under them because it wasn't supported in the new platform and this is causing intake to TANK.
-The overall working atmosphere is so stressful and is not conducive to productivity at all. This results in people joining and leaving within 3 months. I watched 50-60 people turn over in this company in 6 months, and I think the entire company is about 120 people.
