Maybe they are actually crap. Many seem to be running a sweatshop model - long hours, low pay (yes really - that's a big difference to Silicon Valley) and stupid perks.
- Kirth 8y agoSeconded. I've seen quite some Belgian and German (tech) companies that don't value good (tech) employees. They'd rather pay slightly below market rate and cheap out on everything. Somehow these companies keep going. People's standards here, are low. Belgian news has an item every half-year where some big shot company boy complains about how difficult it is to get (good) ITers. This gets thinned down to "there's not enough ITers". Reality is that they refuse to pay for the quality employees they NEED, so those work elsewhere/leave the company/work remote.
- krageon 8y ago> "there's not enough ITers" This is the complaint every company I've worked for or met with so far has fielded at me, which is kind of hilarious as they all also unequivocally refuse to pay a reasonable wage.
