Sygnum Reviews

Highly political company with a high fluctuation of good people; Multiple low-performers (also high up) that are kept despite their poor performance and sometimes toxic personality; Company tries to save money everywhere at all cost, especially regarding salaries (large salary differences within same function and rank, if employees don't negotiate heavily they loose, HR is not your friend here but only focuses on company interest and tries to keep salaries as low as possible with specious excuses); Not transparent at all regarding salary, promotion requirements, etc.; HR is a mess in general.

- a lot of incompetent people on every level (from engineering till C-level management): barely anyone is willing to learn from mistakes, promotion and recognition is given based on who is louder, not what has been achieved - the tech stack is a joke, hard to introduce industry-standards - you almost never see blockchain or anything interesting at all [no IPs, no own ideas, mainly integration of 3rd parties] - C-level management is completely disconnected from the reality, and they are barely approachable - loads of bad practices in the engineering department, and people are not willing to learn/change - empower very inexperienced people, and they deliver crap at the end for loads of money - there is zero career opportunity - the compensation is well below the standard - company values are a joke, they sound really great, but in reality not working at all - there is no compensation change / valuable feedback talk / personal development options - the teams are working in silos, barely talking to each other - Scaled Agile is the worst thing ever, but for some reason at Sygnum, people loves this kind of waterfall and call it "agile"
