Cons
Colleagues professional relations are not existing in the firm, when you come to work almost everyday you have the feeling that you're on the battle ground and constantly need to explain to others that it's not your job to do other department tasks. Overtime is not paid nor recorded in HR systems, even though the workload exceeds most of the 8 hours agreed upon in the contract. This is not legal! Although the firm encourages through its policies a "straight talk" in the subordinate-line manager relationship without the fear of retaliation this does not happen! 1. Very often your boss doesn't give a damn on giving you all necessary information to properly do your job and when he/she only thinks something is not ok, be sure you will be made accountable for any error. Very often the management is not liable for any decision they took and hold accountable their subordinates. 2. Most times, employees are ridiculed and mocked by their direct boss and have to bear repercussions such as: allocation of daily tasks exceeding the 8 hours agreed in their labour contract, public humiliation, no annual salary indexation (altough the firm includes it in their budget and it is approved by senior management from NY headquarters) just because the boss doesn't want to grant it!
