Great work life balance - Avis employé Software Engineer Blocket

- Managers are all experienced and they truly care about employees and building a good company culture. - Some team may face burnout, but in general, good work-life balance. - Despite all the recent changes in organization, I think it is fairly stable job. Even if you are made redundant, there are always plenty of internal positions. - Benefits outside of salary is great: good parental pay, home office allowance, 2h of fitness every week,...

- Not the most exciting product and industry. The company and the market is already so mature without room to really innovate and make something big. - Company feels very Swedish even though they want to promote an international images. International employees may feel isolated.

Office location, Product (website and application) are useful, help sustainability

I spend two years in Blocket to see how parasitic unskilled management and people without experience hired to do engineering jobs are leeching on the handful of those who were actually capable of working. How the toxic no constructive feedback or critical thinking culture year over year grows this lazy layer of fat. Meetings in Blocket reminded me of the saying “Everyone lies but it does not matter because nobody listens”. Endless rows of such meetings. Besides the company does not know how to work with immigrant workers and can’t provide necessary paperwork. Employees who did not do their tasks for months, lie about progressing and “were not comfortable receiving a feedback” when the matter became obvious. Manager who ruined the team, managers who caused burnouts without possibility to give feedback or fix the matter for an employees who work with them. And many other matters of the same sort. Awful environment.
