Limited growth, and poor recognition

Business outlook

Pros

Remote work flexibility and nice workmates, but that's all.

Cons

- There are very limited opportunities for professional growth. You can work hard for years and still not move forward. Recognition is minimal and seems to depend entirely on business needs. Promotions often go to the same people who are already in senior positions. - The benefits are poor. - You also can’t rely on annual salary increases, since sometimes they simply don’t happen. This means you can remain on the same salary indefinitely while still being regularly evaluated on your performance, evaluations that ultimately provide little value to employees. The people making decisions do not seem to have a clear direction or long-term vision, which creates a disorganized company structure.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to share this. We're glad remote flexibility and your colleagues have been meaningful parts of working at Lingoda. The concerns you've raised, around career growth, recognition, compensation, and strategic direction are ones we take seriously. Employees who work hard deserve to see that reflected in their development and rewards, and we hear you that this hasn't felt consistent enough. We are actively working to make our professional growth and performance processes more clear and meaningful, and to improve how we communicate direction across the organisation. If you have further remarks or suggestions, we encourage you to connect with your HR Business Partner directly. Your feedback matters and helps us set the right priorities for the future.
