Workplace that encourages you to level up - Project Manager Ropstam Employee Review

I started my journey here as a Junior WordPress Developer around 4.5 years ago and have grown into a CMS Lead role. The company provides excellent learning opportunities, exposure to international projects, and a clear path for career growth. Management recognizes performance, encourages ownership, and supports professional development. The team culture is collaborative, and there is always an opportunity to learn new technologies and improve both technical and leadership skills.

As with any fast-growing company, some projects can have challenging deadlines, which may require extra effort during critical delivery phases. However, these situations also provide valuable learning and growth opportunities.

Salary is generally paid on time. The company can provide basic industry exposure for fresh graduates at an early career stage.

The company lacks job security, with frequent layoffs that are not clearly linked to performance, creating constant uncertainty among employees. Hard-working and dedicated team members are often undervalued or let go, while less productive individuals are retained. In several cases, employees with higher salaries are removed as a cost-cutting measure instead of being retained or developed, which negatively affects motivation and work quality. The leave policy is poorly defined and inconsistently implemented, making it difficult for employees to plan time off. The work environment is highly political, with frequent leg-pulling and favoritism influencing decisions rather than merit or performance. This significantly impacts teamwork, trust, and overall productivity. There is also excessive management interference across departments, particularly from individuals whose core responsibilities lie elsewhere. This lack of role clarity spreads negativity, disrupts workflows, and lowers morale. Overall, the company suffers from poor leadership direction, low accountability, limited collaboration, and a work culture that often feels demotivating rather than supportive.
