Company in Athens does not want to focus on real problems

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Flexible working hours (depending on the LM) - Possibility to work from home (depending on the LM) - Payroll is never late

Cons

- Company re-hires employees that left the company few months ago with high salaries while gives 1-2% raise to current employees and high performers. It is suggested that you leave Nokia & come back after 6-8 months. Only then you will get higher salary and respect. - There is no reward of any kind - it is pointless to go the extra mile or support the company beyond your job description - There are many unsuitable Line Managers doing damage to peoples/teams. There is no poor performer plan for them - They will be LMs until retirement. - Upper management is not in place to take actions to fix real issues. Problems are know but trying to hide them under the carpet. - It is impossible to get a position since all positions are already assigned to someone before the go live to Internal Job Market.
