Ventajas

I enjoyed working with my team whilst I was there. Apart from that, there are no positives to working at Convertize, aside from the repeatedly mentioned 'character building'.

Desventajas

- Their interview process was mostly irrelevant to the role and long-winded. - How the company is run and managed is very different to how they want you to perceive it externally. - I could relate my experience at Convertize with all of the other negative Glassdoor reviews. - I was not given any sort of induction to my role - just expected to get on with it. I was introduced to my team by receiving copies of their CVs and their personality test results... - The 'culture' is non-existent – this ‘start-up’ culture is a load of rubbish. The office was always silent. The only thing they do to engage staff is a ‘monthly breakfast’, but you had to go in early for it… - The comments they keep stating on here about Convertize being a ‘challenging and enriching environment’ is just their way of saying they will take advantage, micromanage and bully you. - More than half of the company were interns (there will probably be a response from them after this is posted correcting my figures and something about 'we do have interns from Top European Universities' which they like to copy and paste repeatedly. I apologise if they have adapted their modus operandi to include more than a handful of permanent staff...but I doubt that is the case. - During my short time there, the interns were treated poorly. ‘Management’ calling an intern the stupidest girl in the world, is sexist and discriminatory, as one of many examples. - 'Management' are married, which I only think added to the level of unprofessionalism, politics and nepotism. Nothing you say is confidential. - The management structure is a complete totalitarian dictatorship. The majority of staff work in fear. ‘Management’ were constantly changing their minds, getting involved in minutia and micromanaging, which makes productivity very challenging. - I was told that I was expected to work more than my contracted hours, which is illegal. I then felt pressured to stay later every day after that to avoid future confrontation. The majority of employees work later out fear of retribution. - They do not have any regard for employee welfare and will fire people without reason or warning.

I will just reply this: I didn't know it was allowed by Glassdoor to post 2 reviews about the same company in less than 6 months. Especially from someone who stayed only 3 weeks and did not pass his probation period. Philippe -CEO

Ventajas

possibility to learn new things management open to suggestions options to self-organise your time Jim Rohn said: You are the average of 5 people that you spent time most with. Considering your new job opportunity make sure you will choose wisely, because we are spending 30% of our daily time in the office. If you will be surrounded by successful people, it is more likely that you will eventually succeed. I've been working at Convertize almost 3 years now. 3 years ago, when I started work at Convertize to be honest, I though it will be just another professional experience into my CV. I couldn't be more wrong on this. I am a person who is strongly focused on self-development. I am always aiming to get inside the room, full of people who know more then me - otherwise, I would get a signal, that I am in the wrong room. Converize is definitely the room where I would like to stay. Thanks to people here, I've finally understood the different between "just nice looking" UI and "effective & efficient" UX that helps people around the internet use digital solution more easily. I have to admit, that in the very beginning I've received a huge credit of trust from the management. Probably that's why in 3 years I've been promoted 4 times The best part of it, is that I keep learning literally every single day. If you looking for a place for your career opportunities, I would strongly recommend this company.

Desventajas

Multitasking is something that could be annoying in the longer run.
