Pros

1. The people are genuinely nice, and it’s easy to make good friends. Many enjoy spending time together even outside of work. 2. The work schedule is fairly flexible, which can be a plus. 3. The Poznań office is well-equipped with free coffee and tea. 4. Senior HR Klaudia is amazing—she’s empathetic, transparent, and genuinely supportive. 5. Most of the time, people will try to help you with whatever is on your plate, 6, Company arranges great teambuilding activities every 3 months.

Cons

1. It seems that leadership operates with a mindset that employees are inherently lazy and unmotivated. 2. There is constant oversight at every step, leaving little room for autonomy. 3. I witnessed "Honest feedback" being delivered in a way that diminishes employees' professional worth rather than fostering growth. 4. Management gatekeeps crucial information about the company, leaving employees in the dark about key decisions and developments. 5. Workflows lack structure and change so rapidly that employees struggle to adapt. 6. Workload fluctuates unpredictably—some days are completely idle, while others demand 14-hour shifts due to last-minute tasks, with this inconsistency treated as normal. 7. Ambitious and innovative employees quickly hit a glass ceiling in terms of growth and learning opportunities. 8. Hard work alone isn’t enough to earn a promotion, with decisions often driven by politics. The management uses questionable reasons to deny or postpone deserved promotions across departments. 9. Workers are prohibited from pursuing any side projects or non-competitive work, as the company demands full "loyalty." 10. Even critical issues that could lead to client loss are approved too slowly due to the inflexible hierarchy. 11. Despite the boasting about annual profitability, in 2024, the company failed to provide yearly bonuses, claiming insufficient funds.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear that you found value in the relationships you built during your time at SUSO, appreciated the flexibility and environment in our Poznań office, and had positive experiences with our team members and the support of your colleagues. Creating a welcoming and collaborative culture has always been a key priority for us. That said, some of the perspectives shared don’t fully reflect our intentions or how many within the team experience life at SUSO. Our leadership philosophy is built on trust and autonomy, and while we acknowledge that oversight is sometimes necessary, particularly in a fast-paced, client-focused environment, we are continuously working to strike a balance that empowers individuals without sacrificing quality or accountability. Regarding growth, promotion, and communication: we recognize that no system is perfect, and we’re actively refining our internal processes to improve clarity, transparency, and development opportunities. We also understand that periods of high workload can be challenging, and we are evaluating how to better manage resource planning to maintain consistency. While we may not agree with every point raised, we do appreciate your feedback and the opportunity it gives us to reflect. We’re committed to learning and improving and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors. - The SUSO Team

Pros

- Flexible working hours - Supportive, knowledgeable peers - Inflation raises

Cons

- Top management lacks essential soft skills such as communication, people management, and the ability to motivate. - People in leadership roles often demonstrate poor interpersonal awareness and a lack of emotional intelligence. - Management is overly confident in their own decisions while frequently doubting and openly undermining the competence of employees. - Department managers prioritize appeasing the managing director over supporting their own teams. - Feedback culture is dishonest and misleading - both at the company-wide level and in one-on-one interactions. - "Honest feedback" is often used to diminish employees rather than help them grow. - Daily operations are chaotic and stressful due to poor communication and constantly shifting procedures. - Complete lack of clarity and predictability creates a constant sense of uncertainty for employees - one month it's hiring new people and celebrating growth, the next it's sudden layoffs due to sales dips. - Even long-term employees can be let go without any internal communication - no announcements, no transparency, just silent removals that leave other teams wondering what happened. - Employee well-being is treated with superficial concern at best, often reduced to box-ticking without real follow-up or meaningful action. - There is a general lack of care or interest in genuinely hearing employees out or acting on their input. - There is a noticeable increase in responsibilities without any corresponding training or support.

As a growing and ambitious company, we continuously adapt to new technologies and strive to maintain the highest industry standards, providing our clients with top-quality services. To achieve this, we ensure clear communication of expectations, along with providing appropriate tools and support for employee development. Occasionally, however, we must make difficult decisions regarding individuals who lack motivation or struggle to keep pace with necessary changes. We cannot agree with your remarks regarding employee well-being or internal communication practices. We dedicate significant attention and effort to these areas and take pride in the HR standards we maintain. As a remote-first company, we consistently operate well above industry norms in these aspects. Nevertheless, we appreciate your feedback on communication, leadership, and for openly sharing your perspective. Despite the context of your review, your comments are valuable and will be used constructively to further improve. We wish you success in your future endeavors. - The SUSO Team
