Pros

Some of the people at the company are great

Cons

Constant pressure; working at 100% capacity, 100% of the time while trying to get 1% better every day is not sustainable Salary is often paid too late frequent burnout; no support when this happens The culture in the company has completely collapsed Career/training development is not prioritized - "self onboarding" and no exit interview Lack of recognition of work done / Lack of structure makes things feel chaotic. This has reduced my confidence in my work and impacted my approach to finding a new role.

Dear former colleague, We, especially at the People & Culture department, are saddened and concerned to hear that you have had such a bad experience working with us at Spectrm and being a Spectromie.

Along this path of growth, finding our way and still deeply caring for our employees, mistakes do unfortunately happen. Growth often presents its challenges. We are glad to inform you that we are not only carving out an L&D plan but we are also taking active steps amongst Leadership and C-Level to avoid any of the above mentioned struggles. Our onboarding process is highly though through and strictly surveyed with in-person conversations plus a questionnaire. This onboarding process continuously receives great feedback from our new joiners. Nevertheless, we are rolling up our sleeves as we speak to reflect on your feedback and take away learnings. We would also love to offer an in-person conversation to speak about the mentioned points more in depth - as offered to any leaver. We do thank you for the time you did invest into Spectrm despite being unsatisfied with us and do wish you all the best for your personal and professional future. Your Spectrm People & Culture Team

Pros

Spectrm isn't your typical tech company focused on growth at all costs at the expense of creating an environment you actually want to work in. Founders are surprisingly mature and considerate for their age. They know how to treat people and know how to get work/life balance right. Very international team full of smart but humble people. Lots of fun to work with. If you like having autonomy and space to grow, this is a great place to be.

Cons

You need to be highly self-motivated and independent to thrive here.

Pros

Good product with lots of potential. The team is committed to the company and customers.

Cons

Struggled paying people on time and the basic admin. Payroll was frequently delayed without any communication or update. Unable to manage appropriate tax forms.

Dear former Spectromie, we are sorry that this was your experience at Spectrm. We do our best to provide a work environment that allows everyone to be productive and creative. Paying employees in time is part of that and delayed payments are not acceptable! We assume that you were one of the two employees hired in the US where there were, in fact, challenges with the tax forms and some payroll admin due to certain local regulations. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and your negative experience and nevertheless wish you all the very best for your future career and journey. All the best, The People & Culture Team
