Management Overreach and poor Communication hinder Progress and Morale
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- The absence of core working hours and home office allow for high flexibility.
- Therefore good work/life balance
- Company-wide status updates have become more informative. While the overall structure of the updates stayed the same, they now include more concrete figures, leading to a better understanding of the situation.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- Roles and responsibilities are not always defined clearly. In some cases, this leads to overlapping, such as product related roles being involved in things like testing new releases.
- While there is a ticket board and an overall agile oriented setup, processes are not defined clearly. As a result, tickets sometimes lack detail, which can make planning/implementation hard.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
- Internal communication still has room for improvement. At times, information becomes visible through external channels such as LinkedIn before it is shared internally, and some topics are not consistently communicated across the organization.
- The company could further benefit from regularly listen to their developers opinions.
- In some cases, discussions would benefit from a more open consideration of differing opinions, allowing technical debates to focus more on collaboration than on justification of existing approaches. It would also provide more motivation to bring up own ideas/thoughts.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Working atmosphere got a bit better
Work-Life-Balance
No core hours, home office possibilities. This is the most appreciated benefit. In 99% of the cases it is no problem to e.g. take some time off during the day and work in the evening instead.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Developer workshops are currently no longer being offered, and a career path is still missing. While growth talks have been announced for next year, these were also planned for the current year, so consistency will be key here.
Gehalt/Benefits
Salary is fine and always on time
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Not that I know of
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Mostly fine within the teams
Arbeitsbedingungen
- HQ is pretty nice and has everything you would want it to have and even more
- Notebooks, monitors and other equipment are perfectly fine
Kommunikation
Communication is still lacking, some things, like company updates, got better, but everything still doesnt feel transparent.
Interessante Aufgaben
Difficult to say, depending on in which team you are working, it can be interesting, but also repetitive. All in all it is ok.
