The company laid-off a good portion of its staff in mid 2022, which also happened to other tech companies like Bitpanda, Go Student etc. I guess this happens when there is an imbalance between investor expectations, (unrealistic) growth plans, weak leadership etc. - I was not part of the leadership, but in all of those cases you hear about the very same issues. That's important because all this causes pressure amongst the crew and people feel less safe, at least the ones that I have talked to. Regardless of this weight and new reality at Meister, the company tries its best to create a good workplace. There are super flexible working times, you can blance full (!) days when you have 8+ overhours, you get good equipment and also people are very nice.
Not very clear to me. Vision and reality is not the same
Really depends! For most people it's good. There are flexible working times and home office is not an issue, also full remote is possible. You can balance full days when you have 8+ overhours. Technically there are no overhours actually, but "more hours". The difference is that real over hours are balanced by 1:1,5 and more hours by 1:1 (only). But still I loved the system, since you can take off a day from time to time. Still there are some employees who have so many tasks that they have dozens of over hours and no time to take off, but I'd say that's just the exception to the rule
Very professional. They are clear career paths - even for people who do not want to lead other people, there are very nice opportunities. They put some thought into this. You can also do a lot of trainings and they pay for german classes and even personal coachings. Leaders get regular trainings as well. Theoretically you can spend 10% of your work time with trainings, BUT I haven't seen anyone who ever had the time to actually do that
Meister improved the salaries a bit this year, especially after the lay-offs. But you have to be clear that other companies pay way better mostly. A friend of mine left the company this year and gets more as an intermediate than many of the seniors at Meister. I've heard from a few seniors, that they had counter offers with 15-20k more a year when they joined Meister. So you see, money is not everything :)
Still I have to mention that Meister pays for your public transport in Vienna or they pay the equivalent amount to the austrian railway card.
Quite good, as in most companies
Also depends. Everyone is super nice, but I had a bad experience with a very unexperienced leader in the specific field. That was hard, but the time before that was nice and I think overall it's ok in all other departments. I just heard from a friend in another dev team that his lead is super nice, but still too "soft" and finds it hard to make fast and clear decisions
Meister works a lot on communication and expects clear and structured communication from you. They have a pretty well developed 360 degree feedback and (re-) evaluation system, supported by formalized checklists that make decisions more objective ideally. On the company side we missed clear communication sometimes. Lots of people missed a clear company strategy by the management for instance. Also just recently (after more than 15 years) Meister forced ways of brutally honest feedback e.g. to the management, which unveiled issues that the majority was partly not aware of. I've seen much younger companies who took whole campany-wide workshops with external experts, only to deal with the problem of being hesitant to speak openly about anything. Don't get me wrong, Meister is open for your opinion, but as a company you have to be active in requesting honest opinions and not passive. This is about to change right now I think
Yes, definitely.
Menschen werden ernst genommen, Arbeit ist spannend und Produkte sind top. Ich bin motiviert, weil alles passt und Kolleg:Innen nett sind.
Wirklich ausgezeichnet. Für die Entwickler:Innen ist es ruhig im Büro,
Hier wird man als Mensch, mit seinen Bedürfnissen ernst genommen. 30h Woche zB ist kein Problem. Es gibt Verträge für "fast immer" Büroarbeit, flexibel (zB häufig oder meistens Home Office) oder komplett remote - man kann es sich aussuchen!
Bezahlte Weiterbildungen und es werden einem hin und wieder Weiterbildungen angeboten, die man in Anspruch nehmen kann. Die Qualität war immer sehr gut. Department wechseln, Rolle ändern ist auch möglich.
Es wird viel zum Thema Corporate Social Responsibility unternommen. Man kann sich einbringen oder es ignorieren, wenn es einen nicht interessiert.
Auf Augenhöhe, einfühlsam, hilfsbereit. Auch die beiden Gründer bodenständig und sympathisch.
Top Büro in guter Lage, gute Bildschirme, moderne Laptops (Mac, Windows, Linux, was man will), Budget für gutes Zubehör, elektrisch höhenverstellbare Tische, Pflanzen. Schöne Meetingräume. Man sitzt mit mehreren Kolleg:Innen im jeweiligen Raum, aber es ist meistens sehr ruhig, man kann sich konzentrieren.
Ausgezeichnet. Man kann einfach nach Firmenevents bei einem Bier/Wein/Saft zusammensitzen. Es gibt es auch Coaching-Angebote und zB freiwillige Workshops zu Non Violent Communication.
Great team, good products, flexibility and a beautiful office.
The start-up vibe of the early days is still present. Personally, I choose this over some stuff bureaucratic structures any day of the year.
9 out of 10 companies claim to offer great flexibility and in Meister's case it is truly followed up.
Can't complain. Fair wages and benefits.
Honestly the greatest thing of all. Never seen such a motivated, passionate and easy-going team. Everyone is super fired up about bringing the company to the next level, making work simply fun.
Neither.
You get the equipment of your choice and almost any wishes about further devices are granted.
Never encountered any problems.
Lack of micro management. Freedom and responsibility in a lot of areas. Yearly retreats
Communication of company plans.
Make stock options available to employees. Create a clear policy on remote work. More flexible core hours as policy (sometimes practised, but not on paper which is confusing). Better rewards for overtime.
There are opportunities to attend conferences and work on new tech in "innovation week" (start of every quarter)
No stock options which is disappointing considering the company is happy to take on investment from external sources. Wages could also be better
You can choose you own equipment in most cases, flexi desks don't have standard monitor / desks which can be annoying
Important company decisions (like whether to take on investment or whether to move to a flexi desk system) are only communicated when a decision is made.
The working atmosphere of Meister is really nice. The Vienna offices are gorgeous and comfortable with coffee, snacks, and other incentives. I also very much like that we are flexible with working from home.
I think most employees are happy with their jobs and happy with Meister overall.
The work/life balance at Meister is a huge benefit for me. It’s one of my favorite things about the company. Everyone from the Founders to the Junior Employees are encouraged to take leave, stay at 38.5 hours a week, and take time when needed to take care of oneself. This makes for a really positive experience where the “hustle and grind” of tech isn’t so present.
While we have “development” time, I haven’t personally taken any career advancement time at Meister. Educational classes or professional development is available, in theory, but it doesn’t seem to be a major objective.
While I think the salaries are a bit lower than market value, I think Meister makes up for it to some degree with their level of work flexibility.
I think many of the employees are environmentally and socially conscious, but I haven’t seen any concerted effort specifically from the top-down. I think that Meister leadership could do a better job of enabling and encouraging more social awareness, supporting diverse causes, creating a space for us as a company to be more environmentally conscious and support this financially or with employee volunteer days or something like this.
The HR team at Meister does a nice job of vetting potential candidates for culture fit and cohesion among other staff. Because of this, we have a great blend of people who bring value to the team and also are team players. The existing staff is mostly open and transparent with work and collaborating together.
I would say this is an area of growth for Meister. As a SaaS company, we tend to hire more juniors for positions and this excludes older colleagues in senior roles. I would like to see Meister actively recruit older colleagues.
The leadership team and managers at Meister are constantly improving. With a relatively flat hierarchy, we are still working and collaborating with each other often at all levels of the company and “Managers” don’t just manage, they do.
The working environment is really nice at Meister. We have gorgeous offices, standing desks, and it’s always clean and tidy. We have easy access to a garden to eat lunch, work outside, or take a break which really adds value to the day!
The communication at Meister is often good. We have weekly written updates from each department, monthly all-hands meetings where employees are encouraged to ask questions, give feedback and engage with other employees, and annual 360 performance reviews. We are constantly communicating and striving to improve.
The balance of male/female colleagues seems like a good blend at Meister. While we don’t have parity, I think we do a good job of trying to recruit and hire talented people from all backgrounds.
The projects and tasks at Meister are interesting and challenging. Being in a growing Tech company, we always have work to do and great new projects to work on.
Sehr angenehme Arbeitsatmosphäre in einem unglaublich schönen Büro mitten in Wien.
Urlaub ist jederzeit möglich und Freizeit sollte auch nicht zu kurz kommen. Regelmäßige Team-Events in lockerer Atmosphäre finden zusätzlich statt. Das Unternehmen kümmert sich wirklich toll um jeden einzelnen Mitarbeiter.
Falls Hilfe benötigt wird, erhält man sofortige Unterstützung. Der Zusammenhalt der Kollegen ist toll!
Sehr respektvoll. Entscheidung sind sofort nachvollziehbar.
Klare und kurze Kommunikationswege
Abwechslungsreiche und interessante Tätigkeiten.
Alle bei Meister sind freundlich, nett und leben eine offene Arbeitskultur, die durch Diversität und Akzeptanz komplettiert wird.
Es wird eine 38.5 bzw. 40-Stunden-Woche im ganzen Betrieb großgeschrieben, zu manchen Zeiten kommt es aber doch zu starken Überstunden. Diese werden in der Regel aber so gut es geht nach einigen Wochen wieder langsam abgebaut.
Top Teamwork!
Management ist immer erreichbar. Oftmals könnten Entscheidungen transparenter kommuniziert werden.
Regelmäßige All Hands Meetings, Firmennewsletter und Team-Chats schaffen eine offene Kommunikationskultur, die auch auf allen Ebenen gelebt wird.
Arbeit ist großteils abwechslungsreich.
The promotion of work-life balance. The fact that you get a day off for your birthday. Cultivates a great work environment. They also pay for your Wiener Linien card.
Great working atmosphere ! There is a lot of opportunity to take initiative and make your job your own. Innovation is seen as a very positive thing, if you have good ideas - you'll most likely be given the support you need to help you realize them.
This is where Meister really shines - work-life-balance isnt just a buzzword here - but something highly recommended. You are always given the flexibility you need for childcare, doctors appointments, work from home and more.
Great people! Really nice work environment - everyone wants the same thing - to do really well so it's easy to work with almost everyone on the team!
Still very good on the communication front, experiences the same issues as most other companies but overall - really good and transparent.
Love this - always given great opportunities to work on a variety of different projects - you can really learn a lot about the SaaS industry as a whole at Meister.
A friendly, fun, international, family-like atmosphere, a culture of helping others in achieving their goals.
This is my favorite part about working for Meister. The company has internalized the fact that all employees are individuals with lives outside of work. This profound respect for people is part of company culture. Working from home a couple of times a week, doctors appointments, no overtime... all is accepted.
There's generally a "we're all striving for the same thing" approach, and a core understanding that many things can be achieved through working together. That being said, during stressful times, there have cases where people disagree but luckily all potential problems are usually addressed early enough before turning into anything serious.
There isn't a single company that would earn five stars in communication, it is an area that can always be worked on and improved. But as far as communication goes, I think this is better than many companies that I've worked for in the past, transparency is encouraged, knowledge-sharing is a must.
There's always a chance an opportunity to work on interesting tasks. Even outside of your department and/or role.
So verdient kununu Geld.
