      Avoid Greece ( Thessaloniki, Athens) Office – Deceptive Practices and Exploitation

      Devops engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      International company name might look good on a CV.

      Cons

      - As a senior DevOps engineer, I am paid only €1400 per month – far below market standards. - Management prioritizes cost-cutting over quality, hiring inexperienced students for critical roles at minimum pay. - Unrealistic workload: you're expected to handle multiple projects simultaneously with no additional compensation. - Labor contracts are intentionally vague and not in your favor – critical terms are often verbal and then ignored. - Most projects in Greece require working with teams based in India, and this collaboration is extremely challenging. Their work culture, priorities, and processes are radically different, often leading to miscommunication, delays, and poor-quality deliverables. They approach tasks in a way that is completely misaligned with expectations, creating constant frustration and inefficiency.

      Full of nepotism, politics and unaccountability

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      renumeration package remote working at least 15% bonus as per your gross annual salary some colleagues from non managerial levels are 100% professionals office location in Thessaloniki

      Cons

      Asked to work long hours (indirectly because they provided me with extra work in purpose) in my project without extra renumeration. The attitude of management is unacceptable. They are hiring wrong people in critical positions e.g. people unit leads. The administrative part of the company is inappropriate. They just do not want to do their job. They even make mistakes in the medical plan data. The main project problem is the lack of understanding between different cultures. Candidates are advised to STAY AWAY from projects that include offshore Management like OneShop and OneApp.
