Cons
- The company only allows to work from home one day a week, even though most of the work could easily be done remotely. - There are minimal employee benefits. No SZÉP card or other benefits, and the private health insurance offered is the most basic option available. -There is no clear career progression or internal mobility, and there was no sign of investment in employees’ long-term professional development. - The HR was actively encouraging employees to post Glassdoor reviews, which seemed like an effort to boost ratings artificially. -Russian was the dominant language in many informal settings. Non-Russian speakers could often feel isolated or excluded from conversations and team dynamics. -The Team Lead and Managers can be dismissive and unapproachable, creating a tense atmosphere and questions are often met with impatience or snobbery, creating a stressful situations instead of supportive environment. Asking questions was often met with condescending responses, as if you were expected to know everything from day one. This created a tense environment and undermined confidence and growth. -Managers tends to micromanage so much the small details. Focusing to much the attention and energy in really small things, like investing in a three months in training to improve Tone of Voice” in emails, while neglecting more critical technical trainings on the complex applications and equipments that are part of the daily activities. -Feedback is rarely constructive and is often demotivating, Performance Reviews felt subjective and not transparent, causing demotivation and stress over the employee. Feedback rarely offered clear direction or acknowledgment, and often left the impression that you were doing everything wrong.
