Great company if you are up for joining a rocketship - Commercial Manager Qargo Employee Review

Working from home options available

The positive reviews do not reflect the reality experienced by many employees, and the gap between perception and day to day working conditions is significant. The work environment is unsustainable and built around constant pressure. There is a deeply ingrained culture of overwork, where 12+ hour days are the norm rather than the exception. Failing to meet these expectations puts you at a clear disadvantage and can impact your job security. At the same time, employees who push themselves beyond reasonable limits are publicly praised in weekly all hands meetings. This normalises and reinforces burnout as part of the job. Management relies heavily on micromanagement, with little evidence of trust in employees. Work is closely tracked and scrutinised, creating a persistent sense of being watched. This adds unnecessary stress and makes it difficult to work effectively or feel confident in your role. Job security is extremely limited. Employees can be let go with little to no warning and often without clear or actionable feedback beforehand. This creates an environment where people feel expendable and uncertain about their future. The termination process is particularly unsettling. Meetings can be added to your calendar without context, only for HR to join and inform you that your role is being terminated. The lack of transparency makes the experience feel abrupt and impersonal. I would strongly recommend being cautious before accepting a role here, as the expectations make it difficult to maintain a healthy work life balance.

Over the past few months I have seen many people from my team, and the wider company let go without any valid reason which is creating a lot of internal job insecurity for all of us. They were hard-working, knowledgable individuals, who were meeting expectations and closing big deals for the company, leaving everyone here extremely confused. On top of this, when we ask our managers about it, they don’t provide us any valid reasons at all, which is even more concerning. It seems that it was simply a case of their face not fitting in here, and they were let go out of the blue and blindsided. I don’t like to see my colleagues treated this way, and I fear that this might be the same for me. What’s worse, is they are letting people go when there is already too much pressure on us and we are working 12+ hour days. This isn’t sustainable.
