Pros

Remote work offers a pleasant environment and flexibility. While there are opportunities available, they are not accessible to everyone.

Cons

The management team appears to be unapproachable, and there seems to be a lack of active listening on their part. Additionally, some project managers have made questionable decisions. There is one project manager in particular who tends to dominate discussions, and despite their poor decisions, they continue to have influence. This may be because some managers are more concerned with protecting their own interests rather than addressing these issues. How can an employee who started from scratch become a senior in less than five years only?! Seniority should be based on experience and consistent practices, not just time served and the support of others who protect you despite your mistakes: I am here for you. I will defend you. I will support you. I will look after you. I'll watch over you. For some bosses, seniority has two weights and is out of the ordinary with their practices.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. Please note that our approach to decision-making is based not only on facts but also on company values such as integrity. We always combine both our values and facts to make decisions humanely. We also encourage everyone to speak up when they are in disagreement with decisions or fear a colleague isn't making the right choice. This can be done anonymously, through their manager, and even directly to the CEO, as many people do. Our approach to career growth is not only based on years of experience in a role. We take into consideration a multitude of precisely detailed factors. Our transparent salary grid is one of the many ways we implement fair and transparent salary policies. Know that our door remains open if you want to share more feedback with the team about your unique situation.

Pros

Friendly work environment, flexible hours

Cons

Timesheets, only 2 week vacation that you can choose, the other week is given to you at Christmas, they count your sick days, low pay compared to industry, lack of good projects, they have been struggling to find contracts so they just take any contract they can get. Not much room for growth, they don’t actually believe in progress of their devs, it is just about the amount of years that look good on paper for the client.

Hi there, we're really sorry that this was your experience with our company. We recognize that determining if our projects are interesting or not is very subjective and it is normal that not everyone may enjoy them. We would, however, like to clarify that, since July 2021, everyone at Spiria has a minimum of 3 weeks vacation + the week during the holidays. We also do benchmark our salaries for all positions and our pay scales are in line with the market. We wish you success in your future projects and thank you for your contributions during your time at Spiria.
