Pros

There's a lot of very competent people to learn from. Everyone is ambitious, willing to learn and to teach and help. People are very professional in their jobs, but still very friendly and reachable. The industry and projects are challenging but rewarding. There's a lot of opportunities to make an impact, learn and research. Company is oriented towards implementing new tech stack and infrastructure so there's a lot of opportunity to learn. Team members strive to do the work as work should be done (patterns, unit tests, etc.) and will expect the same level of quality from you. There is a lot of flexibility in shaping your personal development plan with opportunities to switch departments. There are educational workshops (both technical and soft-skills). Overall there is a lot of transparency and honesty in the company and your honest opinion is appreciated and valued. Everything that is mentioned is addressed at some point. Working hours are flexible, overtime is paid, salary is very good.

Cons

Poor planning can lead to unneeded overtime (but at least it's paid). Artificial stress is introduced sometimes (criticality is exaggerated) Some business processes are not clear or even defined (which leaves you space for impacting them). Employees are in charge of managing their time and workload mostly by them selves, which gives autonomy but can leave some people filling overwhelmed. Every 10 weeks or so, you're on 24/7 passive duty, which is compensated but not yet optional. Legacy code and infrastructure. No work from home option. Standard, plain 20 vacation days package, no possibility to exchange overtime for free days yet. Getting vacation days when you want them can be tricky sometimes. Limited parking spots near the building.

Thank you for taking the time to paint a detailed picture of what it’s like to work at Lemax. We’re glad you recognize how honesty is appreciated even when the news is not great. It’s also nice to know that you see the space for impact and change where there are no clear processes. Lemax can offer a lot to people who are looking to leave a mark. Some of the things you mentioned in the cons we’ve already addressed, and we’ll continue working on improving them. Thank you for your insight!

Pros

Great team, everyone will help you The industry is still not that digitalized, so the opportunity is massive

Cons

Product company but does lots of expensive custom development Awful sales strategy, sails like the wind blows Incompetent management that spends money on unecessary things (like leaadership workshops which serve no purpose) while massively underpaying highly skilled employees Employee retention non-existent, while the product and domain are extremely hard to learn
