Higher ups that need to make the mothership happy and a dangerous and condescending HR.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Interesting Tech-Field, that you might not expect.
Very creative and outgoing co-workers.
Well lived agile development, that sometimes has to content with "too many meeting" struggles agile development often brings - BUT takes that seriously and tries to adapt and adjust if needed.
Great work equipment.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Unsteady processes that are changed what appears to be on a whim.
Top-Down management where feedback does not reach up enough.
Poor communication of Vision & Changes - and the reasoning behind those.
Decisions are made to please the mother-company not what would be most effective for the people working or the product.
Managers/Teamleads of varying quality that make your life inside Greentube a Gamble.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
I have giving all my feedback in my offboarding meeting - only to be faced with an HR that found my feedback "funny" instead of taking me seriously.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Within the teams and with colleagues: great - everywhere else you are faced with lots of pressure without much support.
Going above and beyond will not be recognized in any tangible ways - while high performing employees can be gone the next day if they rock the boat too much.
The HR is toothless and in some forms quite dangerous to interact with for that reason.
Image
Its novo adjacent and gambling - the image will never be great.
Work-Life-Balance
No complaint there - despite the pressure, I have never faced troubles when standing my ground on boundaries of Work/Life Balance topics.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Career paths are clear - only most career paths have a very fixed end where you plateu.
Gehalt/Benefits
Standard - maybe even slightly above average if you are willing to haggle and know the right balance of "rocking the boat"
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Only on Paper & Linked-In
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Depends on the team I guess - but if you are in the chaos - you are in it together.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Varies - I have seen older collegues that were motivated be walled from climbing the corporate later when they haven't told certain people what they like - but on the other hand I have seen old colleagues being treated very kindly and with a lot of support. Again - Results may vary.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
HIGHLY HIGHLY dependant on who your higher up is. You either get the greatest mentor that develops you greatly and helps you achieve or you have a vindictive manager (protected by HR and other Higher Ups) that makes you go away when you challenge/rock the boat too much.
Bein set up to fail often happens - sexism is absolutely present (despite HR saying it doesn't), and some Managers offer 0 Support or Leadership for their teams.
Fittingly enough: who you get is a total gamble ;)
Also: once you make notions of leaving you will hear nothing from any of your managers, no matter what your quality of work was you will be treated poorly.
Arbeitsbedingungen
From a very fair Home Office agreement to a very restrictive RTO Policy and in general volatile organizational structure.
In 3 years I witnessed 3 department restructurings - since none of the measures get the room to establish and actually start working before things get changed again - because they do not work as efficiently as higher ups wish they would.
Kommunikation
Subpar Communication. Things are communicated in the most bare-bones way - people are then not available for clarifications on high-impact changes. Sometimes changes such as the RTO Policy and new HO Policy is communicated only days in advance before they hit - or communicated so ahead of the time that nobody can tell you what the change will entail.
The Vision at least in the Software Departments does not extend beyond "make all the money" - while higher ups constantly praise themselves on communicating their vision so well.
Gleichberechtigung
Hard to gauge - me personally have been treated fairly - I did see my fair share of sexism though. Results may vary.
Interessante Aufgaben
Despite being in the world of online casinos - the technologies behind them are state of the art and diverse.
The Development Department strives to be on top of technological trends without falling into the trap of buzzwords or overpromised tech.
You CAN develop greatly as a developer and have interesting parts of a huge tech stack to explore - if you do not get hit by the organizational dangers the company poses.
