Pros

- there are some very nice colleagues that really dont deserve to be working in such an environment

Cons

- Since the departure of the former CEO in mid-2022, the workplace environment has become increasingly challenging. The newly appointed CEO and Founder has imposed significant pressure not only on their direct reports but also on every member of the company. He frequently engages in inquisitive conversations while moving about the office, creating a tense atmosphere. Employees often find themselves publicly scrutinized during meetings, with the CEO adopting an assertive tone. - Unexpected layoffs have shaken the organization, leaving employees bewildered. Promises of job security were broken as some individuals, assured of their continued employment, were let go just two weeks later. Others faced layoffs immediately after welcoming a new child into their lives. Furthermore certain employees were initially laid off, only to be asked to remain with the company a few days later. All under unusual pressure. This messy situation has shown a big difference between what the company says it believes in ("Glamfam") and how it actually treats its employees, which is very disappointing. - Furthermore, the office environment has become toxic, with certain managers demonstrating inadequate leadership skills. Instances of team members being subjected to verbal abuse or public humiliation have gone unpunished, despite repeated reports to upper management about these concerns. - Very high workload is expected from everybody, unfortunately with too little appraisal.

Pros

Some colleagues are nice but others are super arrogant

Cons

- Stress, stress and more stress for no reason - They want you to be always reachable. It’s even written in my contract that I have to be reachable in my holidays and days off. Some teams have to work at the week-end. - The CEO hires the little sisters of his best friends and ex colleagues which create a weird feeling if you don’t belong to that little circle. There are clearly difference of treatment. - Some projects do not make sense - They try to fool people with the bonus - Jewelry are expensive but the quality is not there : broken medallions, lost of stones etc…) - It’s Ok if the CEO and buyers flying every month to Switzerland (or even sometimes every week) but the finance team ? Never heard of videoconference ? - Incompetent HR: Long process to get the holidays approved After I left HR contacted me to know when was my starting day and how many holidays I had left. Seriously, aren’t they supposed to know that? - Have to fight to take home office and Holliday. - The office is directly exposed to the sun which means it felt like 40°c in summer but unfortunately not warm enough in winter. The toilettes and kitchen are disgusting. Not really safe at night, drugs dealers directly in front of the main door. - Team organization is a total mess between freelancers, halftime, midi jobs, werkstundent and team in CH office which work one day on 2.
