Pros

One of the few positives is that salaries were paid on time, which is a basic employee right and should be expected. There was also some flexibility in scheduling, which was helpful initially. However, these small advantages quickly faded as the reality of the workplace set in.

Cons

The issues with Pentabi are numerous and deeply rooted. After the first year, the workload increased significantly—longer hours with no corresponding salary adjustment. This left little to no time for personal life or even taking leave, despite the initial flexibility. The lack of proper management was glaring; there’s no professional or scientific structure to how things are run. The team largely consists of inexperienced individuals who seem to stumble through tasks without direction or expertise, creating a chaotic environment. Worse still, salaries and bonuses are distributed based on personal connections and proximity to the inner circle rather than merit or performance. It often felt like working for a clique or a gang rather than a professional organization. Favoritism was rampant, and there was no sense of fairness or career growth. The final straw was their decision to terminate over 20 employees before their contracts ended, showing a complete disregard for staff or legal obligations.

Good work environment, helpful senior & manager & colleagues, good experience overall. Good work evaluation after each month. Hybrid work, 1 day office, 4 days online.

Cons

No clear development plan for new hires, low salary, no involvement in standups & such for new hires, new hires work a bit isolated from the rest of the team. Social & medical after 3 months, salary is always cash paid, even for some old employees, no bank payroll account for each new employee

Pros

No valued pros, just a couple of decent people that I met.

Cons

Leadership can be dismissive and overly critical without providing structured guidance. Evaluations sometimes lack objectivity and transparency, leading to unfair outcomes. Employees are not given proper coaching or development plans before being judge. Leadership tends to equate physical presence with productivity, leading to pressure to stay in the office even when the work is finished. Evaluations can be influenced by second-hand feedback from colleagues you barely work with. This makes assessments subjective and potentially inaccurate. Remote work or leaving on time is sometimes perceived as lack of commitment, resulting in an unhealthy culture of “stay longer = work harder.” Finally, Very Poor salaries.
