Decent place to work - Engineer Roboze Employee Review

Young company, lots of potential, some people are really into making it work

The organization within Roboze is tricky. Some people in management are highly skilled while others are there because they were on the company from the beginning or because they're friends with the owner. The latter often lacks what it takes to manage, and some specific individuals in that group act like their gods and they can do anything in the company because they're friends with the owner. Another issue with the company is that it's part of their culture to overpromise compensation, results etc to both employees and customers. They pump you up with promises, but they ends up ALWAYS under delivering.

-Some people really work hard as if their lives depended on it. I'd humbly include myself in that group - we didn't measure any kind of effort to try and achieve results. That spirit was sth that kept me motivated for a long time; I basicallly worked at least 2 to 3 hours of overtime every day ( and I wasn't paid for that). -Some of the top managers have lots of knowledge and are the gears pushing up the company, it was great for me to have access to and learn from them; -The AM industry is amazing, I was often in touch with high level people from aerospace, oil&gas and even F1 companies, it was super cool! -It's a result oriented company, no micromanagement or BS

-The office building was something that probably was ok for when the company had 5 employees, but now with 100+ it's completely inadequate, there are no enough desks for everyone, temperature control for the facility barely works (too cold in winter, too hot in summer), cleaning isn't great - mainly for the toilets, and many things are completely improvised; -environment in the office isn't great. I didn't go everyday and still saw lots of fights and people going at each other's back for bad taste gossip -I really didn't like the marketing image they created for the CEO as if he were a semi-god, some compared him to Bill Gates, Elon Musk, etc... Alessio (CEO) is a great guy, but come on, it's a company, not a rock band, and Alessio for however good he might be, he's still young and evolving, that's ridiculous to idolize him the way they do. Some employees' linkedin posts sounds more like a fanbase than anything else. -HR loves you when you work overtime - for free of course. I worked even when I was in the hospital or when I got covid. Never got one day for free just for the sake of it and worked like crazy to achieve results. But then, if you need to ask 1€ reimbursement for something, they crush you like if you mean nothing to the company. In the south of Italy it's common for employers to say you're just one more and barely significant to the company, and in Roboze they say it with the words "Only Alessio is unreplaceable here, none else is". -Low wages, overpromising and underdelivering culture.
