Pros
+ Executives and middle management consists of talented, young people. They’re friendly, social and always willing to help out + Young team with a wide variety of backgrounds, social environment where your colleagues can become your friends too + I'd recommend the company to anyone applying in non-process oriented verticals like marketing, where the management style is different than company standard owing to nature of work. + The flexible working hours, as well as the option to work on public holidays and take replacement leaves instead + Regular strategy weekends for middle management + Friday meeting where there’s room for (anonymous) questions from employees
Cons
iPrice used to be a place where people could grow quickly, with a “learning by doing” mentality and room for experimenting. It used to be a place where there was space for your ideas and opinions, with open communication and mutual respect. As long as you continuously improved your performance and the people around you, they trusted you and your teams strategies on helping the company grow further. And as a result, iPrice had a highly motivated team and grew quickly. Unfortunately, those days are gone. Top management exists of 4 guys who spend most of their days meeting each other, making all company decisions and not give you space to think along. When any other employee in the company goes to discuss or challenge their ideas, the reply will be that "it's already decided". If their ideas don't work out, expect the employee to be blamed for it as they will not question each other or take responsibility. Management is continuously playing a blame-game when things go wrong, instead of focusing their energy on solving the problem. Results speak for themselves whether leading a company like this is a good idea. Also, don’t fall for the claimed diversity the company is promoting. Yes, the 25 nationalities are undeniable, but diversity ends with middle management. Senior management is made up of a little less than a dozen white guys. If you're not thinking in the exact same way as C-Level, you have no chance to climb the ladder. The excuse used is “we will only hire the best and not look at nationality”, which is another way of saying that only same-thinkers are good enough. The few diverse senior managers that were hired before, left as soon as they could or are let go. Management lacks respect for everyone that doesn’t nod yes to all their ideas and doesn’t communicate in the same way as they are doing.
