Verbesserungsvorschläge

Führungskräfte aus dem mittleren Management bei Personalentscheidungen stärker in die Pflicht nehmen, Entscheidungen sinnvoll zu rechtfertigen.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Schön gedacht (Remote first), schlecht gemacht (kann ohne Warnung zu Kündigung führen).

Image

Das machen sie gut. Daran arbeiten sie. Es wird viel missioniert und starkes Storytelling eingesetzt.

Work-Life-Balance

Die Remote-First-Policy wirkt.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Es ist stark zu vermuten, dass es hier keinen Spielraum gibt!

Gehalt/Benefits

Marktüblich würde ich sagen.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

N/A

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Ist alles gut zu einzuschätzen.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Wie erwähnt, das Verhalten ist als unprofessionell einzustufen. Die Kriterien für so drastische Entscheidungen sind nicht fachliche Eignung und Leistung. Dafür aber ob der Führungskraft ohne Widerrede die Wünsche von den Lippen abgelesen und fachlich entsprechend gehandelt wird. Falls nicht drohen Konsequenzen — bis hin zur Kündigung innerhalb der Probezeit. Erfahrene Fachleute setzt man so nicht effektiv ein (Stichwort Micro-Management)

Arbeitsbedingungen

Homeoffice, ansonsten Standard-Büroräume in Wien. Wien ist eine schöne Stadt.

Kommunikation

Hidden Agendas: Die Kommunikation ist nur in Teilen offen — auch bezüglich der eigenen Personalie. Führungskraft hat sich erst von Unterschriftenpflicht befreien lassen und dann nach persönlichem Gusto gute Fachleute entlassen — soziale Verantwortung, Fairness wird anders lebt man so sicherlich nicht.

Gleichberechtigung

Wird gelebt würde ich sagen.

Interessante Aufgaben

Powerpoint Präsentationen basteln, Firmenevents betreuen und ja, auch mal das tun wofür man eingestellt wir, klar. Insgesamt so Malay

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

I like working here.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

I heard dogs were banned from HQ office, I don’t support this decision

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Only what I mentioned about salary and environmental impact.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

My colleagues are always supportive and full of understanding , no one is pointing out at your mistakes. My ideas are heard and enjoy my everyday work.

Work-Life-Balance

Most of the time I find a good balance at work, and when I feel like it’s too much, I can speak to my team lead and ask for task rearrangement.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

There is a room to grow professionally and learn new skills! Or course, big companies would have more career opportunities but they can’t compare people wise

Gehalt/Benefits

We have some nice benefits but I feel like it could be more. Same is with salary - new hires are getting market salaries and some older employees aren’t.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

We are helping through our business (EDI & e-invoicing) and we also are cautious about our travels and food choices! One star minus because we barely take part in any initiatives (but we do social actions like gifts for orphanages and social and environmental runs)

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

I know a couple of older colleagues myself and looks like they fit in nicely. Even if they don’t understand my choice of emojis in slack

Vorgesetztenverhalten

I’m happy with my direct team lead , also head of department is super nice. So all good in general! And what’s important to me is that if I have an issue, I can speak to head of my department directly, even if sometimes I need to mention it multiple times but I get it, they are always busy.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Remote is nice, and I can travel regularly to headquarter. Also I got my homeoffice equipped which is super.

Kommunikation

I would say communication works very well inside each team. Sometimes I lack communication between departments on everyday tasks and projects but it starts to change now! And on company wide events I’m always happy to communicate with new people.

Gleichberechtigung

We have younger and older colleagues, very international team, and so on. I love it about my company! Sometimes I wish we had more flexibility in where I can work from and how long. Also, I heard dogs were banned from HQ office, I don’t support this decision

Interessante Aufgaben

My tasks are always interesting to me, and I was able to develop my skills overtime at ecosio.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Everything. The remote setup is working out greatly, as well as the flex time. We are in my opinion well-valued contributors and I feel that I'm part of a nice group in here. Keep investing in nice people and trusting everyone who is showing commitment.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Nothing to point out here.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Keep rocking! It's only getting better. Trust in the employees is crucial and you're doing it right.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

I feel part of a great working space and nice team atmosphere in here. Never had the feeling that I really pertained to a group of individuals looking for the success of a company, and now here I am. Feels nice.

Image

Everyone in my team has the same opinion here. The image we're sharing towards the outer world shows individual's happiness.

Work-Life-Balance

Remote working makes life easier. Also we have the possibility to go to the various offices if we want to.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

We have various ways to keep improving and learning from everyone here. A learning platform has been set up and the company gives you the possibility to get further with your learning career if you want to.

Gehalt/Benefits

I'm very happy with my current situation here. Always paid more than on time and there's even room for growing if you hit the targets and do your job properly.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

The company has started to put in place some policies with regards to this point. Still room for improvement, but it's a hot topic now.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

We're a very solid team and I've not had the chance yet to say bye to colleagues with whom I have a strong relationship so far, so I can't really evaluate this point... But from the experience I've seen from other colleagues in other teams, I shall say that it's very positive.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Couldn't be happier with my Team Lead.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Top conditions. Flex time and remote policy. The equipment we got is up to date and we have everything we need to get our job perfectly done.

Kommunikation

There's always room for improvement in the communication field everywhere, but we are always up-to-date with what is going on in the entire company and specially in our teams, so it's overall a good situation that we have here.

Gleichberechtigung

I feel like the entire team is equally evaluated, independently on the individual's conditions.

Interessante Aufgaben

Sales is a great task to do in here. Continuous learning, trust in the employees to overcome new challenges and all in all very interesting job.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

There is the possibility to work 100% remote, whereby the company provides all sort of tools and also a dedicated workplace team to make the remote life as convenient as possible. Recently a hub in Valencia has opened, to allow the remote team members to from there to share a common office. Regular team retreats and company events help to stay connected with peers.

Very nice and diverse team

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Due to the growth of the company it has high workload and everyone is pushy. Still there are some obvious underperfomers on board (and everyone can literally see their underperformance). Yet the management does only slow react and lets them keep their slow pace. In my team that regularly leads to discussions - in particular at afterworks. However, most recently the management has pushed for a more stringent evaluation approach, which in particualar some of the long term team members do not like. Some colleagues have quit as a consequence.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Some of the team members who are with the company since the beginning still bemoan an "ecosio-lifestyle" they are missing. The culture team should find a way to better align the "old" and "new" team members

Arbeitsatmosphäre

very open culture

Image

Generally very positive feedback from customers

Work-Life-Balance

Sometimes very high workloads. The good relationship with peers helps to overcome it. The management literally seems to work around the clock. If that is so good is another question

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Dedicated budget for training and self-development is available

Gehalt/Benefits

Very fair compensation, compared to my previous employer

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

The management is very keen to keep a fair share approach among the employees and to not overcompensate single contributors

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

While the team is generally quite young, the few older team members are well integrated. Although they do not show up at company events that often

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Generally very fair and professional, although one can clearly tell some seniority gaps with some of the heads

Arbeitsbedingungen

My superior is very helpful and has an open ear. Sometimes the workload is very intense

Interessante Aufgaben

Almost no day like the other and everyday new challenges arise, which I prefer

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Am Anfang fand ich den Umgang gut, man hatte irgendwie das gefühl, man wurde geschätzt. Zu letzt fand ich nichts mehr gut, die wertschätzung hat meiner meinung nach extrem nachgelassen, das verhalten der gründer taten ihr übriges dazu.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Gute Mitarbeiter verlassen keine Unternehmen, sondern ihre Chefs. Darüber sollte man sich mal Gedanken machen. Meiner Meinung nach gibt es auch viel zu viele Blender in der Firma selbst, die leider (zum Teil) eine zu hohe Position (meist mit Glück) erreicht haben (meine Meinung).

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Auch als Arbeitgeber trägt man seinen Mitarbeitern gegenüber Verantwortung. Das wird hier meiner Meinung nach oft vergessen. Du musst damit rechnen, jederzeit ersetzt zu werden und dass das, was man dir heute sagt, morgen schon nicht mehr stimmen muss.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

micromanagement, micromanagement, micromanagement. je nach lead wird man bis ins kleinste detail kontrolliert.

Image

marketing leistet gute arbeit - sie stehen meiner meinung nach besser da als sie sind.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

bildungskarrenz oder sabbatical wird für gewöhnlich genehmigt.

Gehalt/Benefits

bewegt sich je nach stelle eher im unteren bereich.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

in meinen anfängen wurde auf nachhaltigkeit wert gelegt. seit mitarbeiter für 1-2 tage zu skievents oder nach mallorca geflogen werden, hat das meiner meinung nach nichts mehr mit umwelt oder sozialbewusstsein zu tun.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

ältere kollegen durfte ich in meiner zeit nur kurz kennen lernen, bevor diese sich selbst eine neue herausforderung gesucht haben.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

nachdem mehrere mitarbeiter in den letzten monaten von heut auf morgen gekündigt wurden, ist in meinen augen das vorgesetztenverhalten extrem gesunken. einem kollegen mit familie wurde kurz vor ablauf der probezeit gekündigt, einem anderen kollegen kurz nach einem trauerfall in der familie. feingefühl sieht meiner meinung nach anders aus.

Arbeitsbedingungen

waren vor etwa 2-3 jahren bedeutend besser wie heute.

Kommunikation

fand ich nicht gut. auf fragen werden zum teil nicht eingegangen, es wird nur oberflächlich geantwortet. viel wird meiner meinung nach verschwiegen. oder dir wird etwas anderes erzählt, wie nachher passiert.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Die Möglichkeit zu 100% im Homeoffice zu arbeiten. Firmen-Events. Ownership: Verantwortung ab dem ersten Tag.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Mitarbeiter müssen stets damit rechnen, gefeuert zu werden. In den letzten Monaten wurde in regelmäßigen Abständen gekündigt, Mitarbeiter werden nach sechsmonatiger Probezeit nicht übernommen. Gefeuert wird von heute auf morgen ohne auf die Betroffenen einzugehen, man wird sofort von allen Kanälen deaktiviert, noch während man im Meeting ist, in dem die Kündigung mitgeteilt wird.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Gegenüber Mitarbeitern (die Menschen mit Familien sind und Verantwortung tragen) ehrlich kommunizieren und sie nicht schlagartig und ungewarnt nach 6 Monaten kündigen. Damit der sozialen Verantwortung als Arbeitgeber den Menschen gegenüber nachkommen.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Ok

Da wird für 1-2 Tage geflogen was das Zeug hält. Das gilt für Management und Mitarbeiter, die in ganz Europa verteilt arbeiten.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Man erlebt, "hidden Agendas" bekommt erzählt, dass alles gut sei, nur um dann zu erfahren dass man gegangen wird.

Schlecht! In Meetings und 1-on-1s Freundlichkeit; Im Ergebnis die unangemeldete Kündigung

Gleichberechtigung

Ok

Interessante Aufgaben

Fließbandarbeit von Kollegen, die die Arbeit dann nicht einmal wertschätzen.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

hard to tell. probably the team members.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

- missing benefits
- high workload
- overboarding micromanagement
- missing carrier development with fisible goals

Verbesserungsvorschläge

don't know where to start. I hope you read the review carefully and act accordingly.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

the atmosphere is filled with too much work on a high pressure level on the shoulders of too less employees. ecosio seemingly wants to play in the field of the big service providers and sees itself as the tech leader. But thats not the case.

There is also a common culture for micromanagement and criticism for trivial points, that absolutely destroys working moral and kills joy.

Image

marketing is doing a great job. From the outside everything looks shiny and nice. from the inside it is so and so.
Alltough ecosio is a former start up it often feels like a company with a culture from the 80s

Work-Life-Balance

hard topic. so far it was quite good. felxibel time, remote work and the possibility to used overtime compensation was there. But that has been shut off lately. Now support shifts, too many meetings and the very demnding workload basically makes it impossible to really balance things. Especially if you have kids.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

there is no real learning culture. Good luck asking for a certification, a seminar or a training course from the outside. It is not gonna happen, eventhough it might have been promised during the hiring process
Internal trainings cover thebasics and necessities to due your job. a real personal growth and carrier development seems to be impossible.
For me it feels like a dead end job

Gehalt/Benefits

mediocre salary no real benefits.
company events and parties are seen as benefits. Nothing more to say about that

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

not a thing at all

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

there are no senior collegues. the team is very young

Vorgesetztenverhalten

a lot of micromanagement and a disinterest to makes things easier at many points.
Teamleads are seemigly under a high pressure tohold their team members in the line. It is more likely to get micromanaged for trivial things than getting an honest recognition for good work

Arbeitsbedingungen

Hardware is up to date. Software and tooling is heavily worked on. Alltough the wheel is reinvented instead of using already existing tools sometimes

Kommunikation

there are some monthly townhall or all-in meetings called Jour-Fix, where stategies and goals are being shared, but you can not shake off the feeling, that not everything is being said.
Besides that, the company heavily relies on communicating over Slack, which sounds good at first, but slack channels are overused with a lot of unneccessary info and theimportant stuff can be missed very easily

Gleichberechtigung

can't really say anything about that. Never seen anyone getting mistreated due to gender orientation or religion. But that doesn't mean that it is not happening. It has just not happened to my knoweldge. Allthough there is no word of equality in the companies policies

Interessante Aufgaben

depending on your role and preference. EDI is still EDI it is a try topic to be honest, but can be very interesting if you find the right environment. At ecosio, unfortunately not so much, alltough management claims it to be otherwise

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

From an employee's perspective, ecosio's past. I just can't find anything special anymore job-wise that you would not find better somewhere else, but also without the bad things.

But I will say: the colleagues you will meet and the friendships you will gain at ecosio are exceptional.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Read my review.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

This company was built on people who were constantly ready to change, to work hard, to learn and to get better – it was a tech start-up, that was thrilling, fun, and rewarding to work for. Listen to your people again, change with your people and appreciate them for their effort.

And please do not call disappointing employees with faulty promises and worse contracts “change”. Absolutely nobody has to happily go along with that type of change.

Given, ecosio wants to be a good workplace for employees again of course. But if the goal for now is just fast growth on paper in a short time no matter what, just keep going!

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Presently, every employee had to accept a severe change in contracts (into a so-called all-in contract, that includes all overtime). If you are not willing to change, you will lose your right to do flexible hours.

This, among other recent developments, is a huge problem because this company relies on their employees doing constant overtime. The results are major setbacks for people's salaries, and, in my opinion even worse, a general sense of not being appreciated anymore on a personal level.

You can get a feeling of what is happening regarding working atmosphere by reading some recent reviews on kununu.

I am giving one star because by executing this the way they did, the company apparently wasn't concerned about the working atmosphere in any way, or they boldly anticipated some people to get frustrated and just did it anyway.

Work-Life-Balance

Maintaining a healthy work-life-balance is very hard due to a constant, very heavy workload for just too few people. They could reduce that by finally hiring more people, or just hearing the struggles of operative employees and making changes that will improve work efficiency – but that is, in my perspective, a promise broken over and over again.

I am giving one star because this company just constantly throws huge work-loads at everyone, but now takes away the financial appreciation off those who actually like to work hard (or otherwise taking away the possibility of a flexible work-life for those who would need it).

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Doesn't really seem to be on the agenda.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Vorgesetztenverhalten

The High-Level Management (whether intentional or not), in my opinion, takes advantage of the well-hearted people, who have a hard time saying no. Promises of reduced work-load, career development, new colleagues or fair payment are constantly made, but also constantly broken with just more and more work. I just cannot see it as anything else but a strategy to use people as long as possible instead of giving them a chance to develop.

Employee-feedback is encouraged, but not respected.

I probably would not personally blame the individuals among the high-level managers, as most of them are kind and nice people off work. But still, their decisions, their management style as well as their intentions got this organization where it is now: maybe for now a successful company, but not a good tech-place to work anymore from an employee-perspective. This is why I am giving one star.

Arbeitsbedingungen

You will get a capable computer. The office in Vienna is very nice, if you want to go, but international remote work is 100% possible.

Kommunikation

Over the course of the last two years, the transparency, consistency, and reliability provided by the top-level management got questionable. It turned to be rather top-down, very hierarchical, as well as constricting. Directions, and reasons for certain decisions, were often changed or unclear. Promises regarding strategic decisions (i.e., hiring new people) were made and broken.

I am giving one star because management delivers a strong impression of transparency, flat hierarchy as well as reliability, but in the long term you cannot really rely on what is told.

Gehalt/Benefits

This is a very sensitive and individual topic – I can't judge what a fair salary is for the individual person and how far one wants to go to achieve it in negotiations.

I am giving two stars because of the new contracts. It just seems to be such a ridiculous decision for a company this size to introduce all-in contracts for just everyone, as there are just so many like-wise companies out there that will not have those for operative employees.

This sort of contract was originally designed for high-level management to ease the bureaucratic effort for their constant overtime – financially well compensated, of course. Using this for the regular employee (even for people that just started to work with no real power for negotiating a higher salary) seems, at least to me, to be somewhat between a joke and actual exploitation.

Gleichberechtigung

There is, at least what I saw, absolutely no discrimination in any form. On a personal level, everyone is very nice and polite.

Interessante Aufgaben

EDI can be a very broad and interesting field of work!

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Ecosio cares about their people which they show trough various initiatives such as interesting benefits, trips, sharing knowledge, internal transfers, flexible work and it seems every now and then new benefit comes up.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Rapid growth has its painpoints as there is always someone who thinks company should be as it was.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Some people have too much on their plates. Help them delegate and increase the team

Arbeitsatmosphäre

There are advantages and dissadvantages of remote first. You can get up at 7:55 and start your meeting at 8:00 which is awesome. On the other hand, it is fun to work with your team and see them face to face. You win some, you lose some.
There are regular virtual coffees to make sure us who need social interaction have it.

Work-Life-Balance

Flexible work hours make your private obligations easier to handle. Also, if there is a sunny week, work fewer hours, you can always compensate it later.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

In small company there are not too many opportunities but ecosio is a growing one which opens up opportunities from time to time. If there is no next step for you inside the company, that is clearly communicated so you can make a decision.

Gehalt/Benefits

Seems ok. As everywhere else, some people want more, others are happy what they have.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Did not see too many of these activities.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Everyone treats each other with respect.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Unless someone would tell you who middle or top management is, there is no way to know. Maybe only when you see few of them who have too packed schedule. Everyone is relaxed and down to earth.
If you need to cover a topic with a management memeber, they will make sure to find time for you.
Middle management is also supportive and ready to discuss everything.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Flexible work, remote first, home office allowance, learning budget, everything can be discussed, great people around you, learning opportunities,...5 stars easy.

Kommunikation

Once per month, Management presents to everyone where the company is in terms of projects, numbers, revenue, plans, all anyone would like to know.
Respectful communication is part of the culture.
If you are bothered by something, you can always respectfully communicate it and HR or management will do all they can to help you.

Gleichberechtigung

Your output and way you treat others is what makes the difference.

Interessante Aufgaben

If you picked right career for you, it is fun. If you picked something you dont like doing, it is boring.
All is on cloud, everyone is open for new ideas, there are people to learn from and to share your knowledge with. You can make it fun for yourself.
