Vreselijk - Anonymous employee Working Talent Employee Review

Ik ben inmiddels ruim twee jaar in dienst bij Working Talent en werkzaam als PMO bij de gemeente Eindhoven. Mijn ervaring met Working Talent is zeer positief. De communicatie verloopt altijd snel, helder en professioneel. De samenwerking tussen de verschillende afdelingen is goed afgestemd, wat zorgt voor een prettige werkomgeving. Daarnaast waardeer ik dat er budget beschikbaar is voor trainingen en certificeringen, zodat medewerkers zich verder kunnen ontwikkelen binnen hun rol. Ook het salaris is passend bij de functie en verantwoordelijkheden, waardoor het totaalplaatje goed in balans is.

Geen negatieve ervaring met Working Talent.

Relatively high salary, decent transition for people without an IT background.

The traineeship bootcamp is fairly useless if you have the slightest background in IT. They love mentioning big partners, but in the end you will likely join a small-medium sized company. If you hold them accountable, you are allowed to leave for better opportunities, but be prepared to pay a 7500 euro fine. There is no negotiation possible, and if you try to have your new employer pay the costs, they will make your life as difficult as possible. The traineeship program suggests you can experience and choose between several IT fields, but from day 1 you are asked to exclusively follow through with one of them, likely based on your educational background. They were unable to find a suitable employer according to their own schedule for more than half of the starting group, where some started 5 months after the initially expected date (it was 4 months for me).
