Great people struggling to build a great company
Arbeitsatmosphäre
People were openly arguing regularly particularly across departments and were often in a bad mood.
Image
Company works with Big Data movement data which has a negative image (surveillance etc.). They are privacy-aware though and the image in society is worse than it should be
Work-Life-Balance
Not too much pressure, enough free time and fair over-time compensation rules.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
No efforts were made in that regard to my knowledge
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Education was partly paid for but not a lot of room to grow due to the small company size.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Was very high. Great colleagues that support each other.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
In my opinion the management was quite unexperienced. Trying hard but not always successful, lacking in leadership and knowledge of how to scale a company. Hierarchies and communication structures were often ignored.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Home-office rules were not super flexible but available. Over-time compensation is present. Nice setup and good hardware, cool office space.
Kommunikation
I experienced some communication behind employees backs. No clear communication structure. Decision-making process not always clear.
Gehalt/Benefits
Pay was good for the size of the company and the space it's in
Gleichberechtigung
No efforts to advance it, but nothing that directly hinders it either. No woman in management or head-of positions though
Interessante Aufgaben
It's a unique field, with interesting tasks in Big Data.
