FOO Reviews

- Lack of focus on a true employee experience - Day-to-day operation is far from glamorous - Company that cannot retain employees - No clear management and leadership almost absent from higher management - No intention of helping an employee to grow. Frustration on daily tasks to meet client's due date - Some managers demonstrate a lack of respect for employees - Issues raised to higher management and never taken into consideration unless it feeds their own personal targets and needs which leads to unhappy employees and teams - Company rarely takes in consideration employees complaints - Not enviable workplace culture - No benefits, just the basics - No clear job descriptions - Irrelevant Job titles - Barely leaves on time, with no overtime - Performance assessment and management guidebook for staff: Doesn't exists and not taken very seriously - Very weak recruitment and hiring process: Leads to hiring a lot of incompetent people - Prioritizing employees based on the number of years they have been in the company and not on the progress of their work - Internal decisions regarding employees are made based on emotions - No encouragement from the company to participate in workshops, conferences or even networking - The people who may be brilliant at solving technical issues may not bethe best candidates for management.

Ohh where do i start... - they have a real problem when it comes to recruitment. You will have to deal with incompetent and passive aggressive colleagues(not all of them though) - personal stuff interfere in everything: promotions, annual reviews, salary raises, workload etc..) - there is no hierarchy whatsoever. You can be a senior engineer who gets paid less than a newly hired junior engineer WHO you are currently training( happened an awful lot of time) - most project managers are incompetent and passive aggressive. Also some of them really like to blame developers on their mistakes - the HR department is straight out useless. No matter how much you raise a certain problem to them nothing is going to be done about it(unless of course you are a close friend with the higher management) - being a hard worker barely matters - this is funny... But most junior engineers are much more knowledgeable and hard working than most senior engineers. - office drama at its best. - they don't care about employee's career progress - they try to integrate and include new technologies in their projects but it is rarely done. They usually ignore everything for the sake of finishing on a really harsh deadline( even your own sanity) - higher management never takes the advice of their senior engineers seriously. They are VERY stubborn. - forget about getting any decent amount of raise no matter how hard you work unless you come up with a counter offer( or of course again... You are a close friend with the HR department or the higher management)
