It's just some random complaint again...
This has nothing to do with NESDEV, but I am currently searching for a stage summerjob that is required for my master, and man, I can hardly belive it.
The same "trend" hit both small companies and large multinationals. They have horrible websites.
In a globalized world where internet is so important you'd expect companies to invest some effort in order to maximize communication with potential customers and potential employees, and to have a nice and friendly website. I could understand that very small companies with <10 employees are too busy and don't have time or skill to care about their websites, but at least big companies and multinationals should have a dedicated team that takes care of this stuff !
I'm not pointing any particular company for private reasons, but :
1) At least half of the time when you go to their main page, you have no clue what is their domain of activity. 2/3 of companies will not mention it ! You'd want at the VERY LEAST to know exactly what the company is producing or, if it's a strict 3rd sector company, what kind of services it will procure to their customers. This information should be written in a very large font on the main page ! However, most of the time it's not.
2) Most of the time, they are just saying "We offer the best solutions." or stuff like that. Okay fine, but solutions to WHAT ? This coupled with somewhat ridiculous pictures of people smiling in a very naive way... Kinda of bade taste if you ask me
3) Some companies have sites which requires some advanced flash plugins or a particular browser to display correctly. OMG they should be burned. Thanks god this only covers a small 10-20% of companies, and mostly small ones, but still, this is unacceptable.
4) The site being old/outdated. For a large multinational I'd expect the site to be updated daily, for a small company monthly or so would be sufficient. However sometimes after just a few clicks I ended up on statistics of the company for the 2004-2007 period or stuff like that. There was a company that had it site not updated since 2005 ! It is a very small company and I suspect they are extinct now (else why wouldn't have they updated their site for 7.5 years ?), but still, the least thing they could do is remove their website, or say they are extinct. Who still pays the bills for hosting the site ?!
5) Being lost in useless stuff. Normally you'd expect a structure where customers and people looking for jobs can clearly see the various products, sectors of activity or whatever. Some times this is okay, but some times there is vague and useless tabs everywhere, and you have no clue what is their meaning and where you are going.
