Extremely disappointed
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Not much to highlight here. I liked my team, I consider that things worked well within our small group, but of course with the limitations of the overall company.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
- Be moral towards employees and terminated employees. Employees are not just resources.
- Communicate clearly and transparently. Tell why decisions are made, why people got fired.
- A general U-turn of how C-level seems to consider employees as resources.
- Include employees' opinions in decision-making.
- While being agile is important, stick to a strategy. Find a balance.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Good in my team. Overall, not good at all. There were situations where I felt like I was not treated fairly. E.g., when innovating new features internally, even if a feature becomes part of the product offering (and a highly promoted feature on Linkedin, too), there is no recognition for it. I believe that innovating within a company deserves some kind of verbal recognition.
Image
The image of working at Adverity seems to be decreasing significantly.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
I got fired during the final and most stressful phase of my Master's, while still in "Bildunskarenz", not long before I should've returned to the company. While being in "Bildungskarrenz" does not mean being safe from termination, I dare to question the morality of firing people during a period with little to no time to plan and search for a new job, especially without any additional compensation to transition smoothly. Overall, education/training had a low value and little to no priority, at least outside of new platform features.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
I had a very good relationship with my direct manager. When looking at the whole company, though, there have been too many things that were simply not okay to give more than 2 stars. Additionally, C-level is rarely seen and heard outside of Townhalls, which, in my opinion, says a lot.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Nice office.
Kommunikation
No clear communication. The strategy of the company seemed to change every month, at least from my point of view. People get fired in an untransparent way, often randomly, and it almost seems that they want to cover up terminations.
Gehalt/Benefits
Very hard to get a raise. In my case, even after being promoted from junior to mid-level, I was stupid enough to agree to work 7 months (until the end of the year) without a raise.
