Pros

THE EMPLOYEES, very nice people to work with, unfortunately most of the good people left

Cons

The company is undergoing significant changes, primarily driven by aggressive cost-cutting measures. Employee turnover is alarmingly high, with people leaving abruptly without notice or communication to their teams, creating a serious gap in information flow. The CEO conducts Town Hall meetings with a showman-like attitude, presenting an overly positive picture while the reality behind the scenes is chaotic. He recently canceled the Senior Manager forum, openly dismissing the value of managers and signaling a lack of trust in their capabilities. The overall atmosphere is poor, and while the official salary review takes place in April, those who voice complaints or threaten to resign might secure a raise in October as a quick fix. The Executive Team appears powerless, with decision-making centralized entirely around the CEO. There's hope that the new COO (in place since last summer) might challenge this dynamic and bring some balance. However, the HR team is also sidelined, as the CEO dictates who gets salary increases and who is let go. The current situation is highly disorganized and demoralizing. According to the CEO, the majority of new hires this year have not passed their probation period. If you're seeking a workplace that offers flexible or remote working options, this company may not be the right fit, as things are changing rapidly. Just to give you an idea the sales team in Germany and Spain changes every quarter (no one passed the probation), the marketing team has been erased last year, now they have a new Manager, let's not talk about the Delivery team and the Finance team (they changed 4 times the Head of FP&A in a couple of months).

Pros

I started working at MotorK as an intern and was pleasantly impressed from the very beginning (an example: the first day I found on my table a welcome kit and the working tools + the onboarding process was accurate and provided all the necessary information). During the months I had the opportunity to take part in different projects and have continuous contact with my manager, which allowed me to receive valuable feedback and thus accelerate the learning and growth process. The working atmosphere with the team was always pleasant, and the working flexibility allowed by smart working was definitely another aspect I appreciated. The people I worked with were extremely available and understanding. The company pays in general attention to its employees (e.g the company offers various benefit and training courses for employees, such as English courses, access to platforms like Udemy, etc.). These are just some of the reasons that contributed to making this experience at MotorK truly positive and stimulating. Absolutely recommended for people hungry to learn and grow professionally.

Cons

Work organisation can be improved to reduce the sense of urgency that often accompanies activities. However, this was not always a cons as it has personally enabled me to better learn how to handle different tasks more efficiently and to prioritise tasks appropriately.

Pros

Flexible working hours, Multicultural environment, Healthy culture, MotorKruise

Cons

Some products are not established, so a lot of reactive behavior/decisions as a result, based on clients' feedback, translated into a often change and regrouping of teams, often change of priorities and focus; almost like a chaos.
