Digital Media Farm - Graphic Design Alma Media Employee Review

- nice and motivated colleagues - modern office in the heart of the city

I worked in a team related to the real estate business, and my probation was ended unexpectedly around the time another team member returned from leave. Up until that point, I had not received clear negative feedback and felt I was making steady progress in the role. From my perspective, expectations in the role were difficult to meet—especially coming from a different industry—because there was very limited ramp‑up time before being evaluated against full performance targets. This made it challenging to realistically succeed within the probation period. Overall, I felt that performance expectations and feedback were not communicated clearly enough during the probation period, which made the situation feel unfair and hard to anticipate. I was also disappointed in how the termination was handled, as the process felt abrupt and not aligned with the level of professionalism I would have expected.

Good worklife balance in a way where there is no timecards and the company understands that sometimes you need to leave early to get the kids. Also no micromanagement and you are free to influence the way your work is done. It is a nice name on a CV.

Salaries and career progression on IT side. Past 5 years you get roughly 0% salary increase in a year and that includes the annual raises you get normally in these jobs. So with inflation for that time being around 10%, You've taken a 10% salary decrease. They really dont reward long term commitments. Also on IT side there really isnt anything to gain career wise without job hopping. Best idea is to come in with a good salary and leave in a year or two for a better opportunity. They also dont follow any collective agreements
