Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you appreciate the supportive team environment and the opportunities to take ownership of projects. Your comments about your experience are valuable to us, and we take them seriously. At Advantage FSE, we offer much more than fair compensation as part of our employee value proposition. We provide rapid professional development through participation in international projects and mentoring by some of the greatest tech professionals and fintech experts in the Greek market. Regarding compensation, we aim for transparency. Our salary structure for entry-level positions is clearly communicated during verbal discussions and is outlined in both written offers and contracts. Salaries are indeed reviewed annually, as explained during the hiring process. However, it’s important to note that a review does not always equate to a salary increase. Salary adjustments are tied to individual progression and contributions to our projects. We also prioritize structured professional growth through our Career Development Framework, which runs annually. The framework is undergoing a renewal and will be launched in 1/2025. We hope you’ll stay with us to benefit from these enhancements. As for employee well-being and work-life balance, we’ve retained many of the benefits introduced during COVID-19, including maintaining safe distancing and offering one of the most flexible hybrid models in the market. Additionally, we extend remote working periods during the summer and holidays to support our employees’ needs. We understand that there is always room for improvement, and your feedback helps us refine our practices to better support our people. If you would like to discuss your concerns further or share additional insights, I encourage you to reach out to me directly. We value your input and would be happy to continue the conversation. Best regards, Peggy Theodorou People and Culture Director
