Pros

Start up environment and friendly HR. Mostly friendly co-workers. Hybrid model for those that are lucky and their manager agrees to it. Paying on time. Very practical and inexpensive Catering service. Meal vouchers.

Cons

-Lack of Experience of the managers and the management in total. -Stressful environment due to last minute and "we figure it out as we go" attitude. -Besserwisser. -Scapegoater attitude. Higher management does not take responsibility of own mistakes and actions or lack of actions. -Don’t like no for an answer even if it comes with arguments. -Not everybody has the same treatment. -HR unable or unwilling to take a pro employee stand. Mainly occupied with recruiting, hiring and onboarding activities. -No flexibility from the company and /or HR to move to a different role within the company. Cope or leave attitude… -Low salary for the work and overtime done. -No work / life balance due to lack of structure, guidance, training and constant unrealistic expectations. -They prefer to let good people go, than change attitude or respect different opinions, even if they come from experienced people. -Toxic environment, from the kind that you feel you have no energy to do anything after leaving work. -Employees don't feel respected from the higher management, only from the direct supervisors who can't unfortunately do much. -Junior but well payed Management, who is based in Germany, order around people, based in Athens, that work overtime and get payed badly: Two-class employees. -No sit down and lets discuss are problems and find solutions attitude. Conclusion: Overall, as the company is right now, I recommend it only to very junior employees in order to get some experience and move forward.

Pros

I can't find anything positive.

Cons

Zero transparency, chaos, non-existent management. We still haven't received our last salaries and they avoid showing up in court, delaying the case.

Pros

Decent Salary, especially for young professionals

Cons

Absolute chaos in almost everything, Had to go buy construction materials and tools on my own because the company simply couldnt do it. Horrible communication with the higher ups (excluding PMs), they kept demanding results and complaining about slow progress, despite the fact that they couldnt provide me essential items. My workers had to commute 3 hours daily for 5 months due to the company being very slow at relocating them.
