Not a good place to work

Pros

Free lunches, company phone, minimal work load

Cons

It is a political battle ground. London company formally ZTR was bought out by their Danish competitor Trackunit last year and the Danes run the show. There is a lot of push and pull and it is a team London vs team Denmark situation. Most leaders have big egos, and they make it look like teams can do the work their way, but they micromanage in many subtle ways behind the scenes. Most leaders' backgrounds don't match their job title. They spend money on things they can show off externally to attract talent, but don't solve the real pain points of the employees. No career growth.

Pros

Broadly speaking, the people are nice. The company also provides a nice work environment and current technology (hardware and software) to get the job done. Free lunches are a bonus.

Cons

HR was completely hands off from the beginning. I felt like I was hired, provided a desk and their job was done. Essentially no orientation was provided aside from a brief tour of the building; basic things like when I would be paid, vacation policies, benefit overview/options were not reviewed or discussed. I asked a lot of questions during the hiring and negotiation process only to discover after starting that a number of important financial-related details were very misrepresented that would have easily led me to decide not to join this company. Put simply, HR is focused on making the company look attractive and not supporting employees. Trackunit touts they are about the people, but in my experience nothing could be farther from the truth. From my first day with the company, objectives for my department were shared that were clearly unattainable and this was supported by my fellow colleagues who actually tried to deliver prior to my hiring. When raising concern about achieving these targets with my immediate leadership, they flatly said they didn't want to hear it and that I/we must find a way to make it happen. I agree, execution is key and to make that happen an organization must provide a culture where employees feel safe. You will not find this at Trackunit. Leadership was terrible. My immediate manager was incredibly disappointing; only ever focused on the numbers and not at all on how I was doing with onboarding or settling into my new role. I'm not a stressful person, and my anxiety was ultra high with such little regard for me as a person on this "team". My leader's boss was also massively devoid of any compassion for how to support everyone on the team, and help them do their best work. Again, it all came down to numbers. There is no team. As part of their hiring process, they request candidates to take a personality assessment of sorts. I question the relevance or purpose of this as it would have highlighted major gaps in leaderships ability to bring a team together. Senior leadership out of Denmark seemed a bit more sensible but I never had any direct contact with them. The company overall seems to be doing well and it's very difficult to see the benefits of that when the other major areas of your job/team are terrible. Overall, Trackunit was by far the worst company I have worked at in my career and this came down to leadership. The attrition I saw in my department and elsewhere during my tenure at least suggests there is concern in this area.

Dear Former-Employee, First of all thank you for sharing this feedback. I am sorry to hear about your experience and can definitely see areas where we need to improve. I will raise this as a concern to the team and hopefully, among other things, improve future onboarding experiences, as we do strive to make it great from Day 1 for all new hires. I acknowledge that you didn't experience it this way, but your feedback is key to us. I would really like for us to learn from this and improve on all aspects you mentioned going forward and therefore I hope that you would be open to a chat to understand. If so, please connect with me on my email or LinkedIn, so we can have a confidential conversation about your experiences. Thanks for bringing it up! / Jaramie Lawrence, People Business Partner
