Pimcore 

GmbH

Bewertungen

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Wide tasks and nice, respectful colleagues. Business is extremely growing which keeps the whole setup dynamic and interesting.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Nothing that really sticks out.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

In general the atmosphere is very good, but I also aknowledge that the perception might differ from department to department. Noone needs to be afraid to take decisions, as this mindset is encouraged by the company.

Image

I am happy and proud to be a Pimconaut ;)

Work-Life-Balance

Real flexible working times, which is extremely positive. During work peaks of course sometimes more to do, but that is not excessive at all. I think it is well-balanced.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Budget for (external) trainings is available. When you want to be a subject matter expert in your area, I think the company will support that.

Gehalt/Benefits

I think the salary and benefits are good.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

I do not have too much information about that.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

From my perspective extremely good. Everyone is treated with respect. I think in general for new starters it is easy to start and be accepted by the colleagues.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Most of the colleagues are in their 30s, but I did not recognize that anyone has ever been left aside because of the age, being it too young or old...

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Again, that is something that for sure differs from Manager to Manager, but for me personally I can say that I am very confident. Always treated with respect and achievements are acknowledged.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Kommunikation

There is always room for improvement but I think effort is taken in order to keep people informed about the most important things that are happening.

Gleichberechtigung

Management Team is predominantly male

Interessante Aufgaben

A lot of room to bring in new ideas and execute them. Company has an AI focus in terms of problem solving which is from my perspective very important.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Offenheit, Direktheit, Image, Fairness, Gehalt

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Die Lage im Salzburger Office ist nicht ideal angebunden, wenn man doch mal hinmöchte.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Die Kommunikation kann schneller / abgestimmter in den Abteilungen sein. Es wäre glaube ich auch gut den teils emotionalen Flurfunk der jüngeren Kollegen zu kanalisieren, um mehr Ruhe reinzubekommen was insbesondere von 2023 bis 2025 in der Umstrukturierung zur kommerziellen Firma nervig war.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Gut, locker und professionell.

Image

Ein "Leader" in den für das Unternehmen wichtigen Kategorien. Bekannt wie ein bunter Hund oder Pimconaut.

Work-Life-Balance

Die Arbeit ist intensiv, ich für meinen Teil hatte aber alle Freiheiten die Arbeit so zu organisieren wie ich es brauchte. Die Kolleginnen haben mich auch immer unterstützt, wenn es mal eng war. Daher war die Balance wirklich gut.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Verantwortung, Interessante Aufgaben, Führung ist möglich. Formeller Aufstieg zu Teamlead/Head-Of aufgrund der gefestigten Struktur im Kernunternehmen wahrscheinlich schwerer. Gut für die, die an der Sache interessiert sind, eher schlecht für alle die eine shiny Position wollen.

Gehalt/Benefits

Sehr gutes Gehalt.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

nichts erwähnenswertes, in keine Richtung.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Die Pimconauten sind eine eingeschworene Gemeinschaft. Nicht nur im Unternehmen auch mit Partnern und Kunden. Teils etwas emotional und wenig reflektiert, wenn es zu Abgängen kam bei Kollegen, die einfach das "alte Open Source Pimcore" wollten und keinen SaaS-Performer.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

sehe ich genau wie den Umgang mit allen anderen. Direkt und fair - manchmal in der Sache hart. Keine Kuschelkultur mehr wie früher zu Open Source ZEit wie schon beschrieben.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Meinungstarkes Management mit klarer Strategie. Leistung wird gewürdigt. Man könnte nachbessern bei den Abteilungsleitern, die teils nicht mit einer Stimme zu Sachverhalten abgestimmt waren.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Kommunikation

Das Führungsteam hat sich gefunden, in der Zwischenzeit war Kommunikation teils nicht so schnell wie wünschenswert

Gleichberechtigung

Keine strukturelen Probleme aber der Frauenanteil ist gering.

Interessante Aufgaben

Extrem breites Aufgabenfeld und ganz vorne dabei bzgl. KI-Integration und neuer Themen.

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

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.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

As mentioned previously (Best flexibility, strong team spirit, motivation to improve, fair and equal treatment)

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

There are no major issues, but like any workplace, there's always room for improvement. However, the positive aspects far surpass any drawbacks.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

As mentioned previously (Improve communication, have women in management positions, improve management styles)

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Overall, the atmosphere is good, though there are some areas that could use improvement. Everyone is helpful and cares for each other. You could really feel the team energy at our Summer party - it was awesome!

Image

Good Image

Work-Life-Balance

Awesome!!! Compared to other companies out there Pimcore truly takes flexibility and work-life balance to another level (especially when having kids).

Karriere/Weiterbildung

You can use your individual budget for any type of development, offering good flexibility to shape your own path. It would be helpful for me to have a clearer roadmap within my role, outlining possible career paths and opportunities for advancement.

Gehalt/Benefits

Above average and additional benefits

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

There are a few initiatives that many aren't aware of because they don't make a big deal out of it.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

As mentioned, the team spirit is great. Everyone helps each other, and we have fun together. Management could use some improvement but they definitely care. Sure, there are some people who like to see everything pessimistically and negative, but for some, the cup is always half empty than half full...

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

This is no issue.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

This is an area that definitely needs improvement. For me team dissatisfaction seems to be influenced by certain management practices in the team, which can affect the overall morale. However, there is motivation to address and improve these situations.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Kommunikation

Communication has always potential for improvement. I have experienced very good communication so far. Most information is communicated and all the basics are written on Confluence pages. Continuous improvement is the key here.

Gleichberechtigung

Everyone is treated fair and without discrimination and there are great opportunities available. However, it is a bit disappointing that there is a lack of female managers.

Interessante Aufgaben

Nothing to complain about

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

If you get the benefits they are awesome.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

This is mostly a summary of the above points.

- Horrendous communication.
- Ineffective meetings
- The very obvious lack of planning
- Not listening to your employees
- Constantly changes in the process, which make the lack of planning a lot worse

To make things worse you then get constantly told, that you are too slow.
This kind of feedback is incredibly demotivating for employees.
If you want to discourage your employees, this is the best way to do so.

It's well-known that motivated employees tend to be more productive, yet it appears that this perspective isn't being acknowledged by management.

We had a lot of meetings with management the last few months and nothing changed since then. Talking alone is not enough. If your employees come to you, telling you why they are not happy, you need to listen and act upon it.

Not acting after such meetings, there is a high possibility that employees start to leave and currently this company especially the Development Team is a ticking time bomb.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Now would be the time to start listening to your employees. A successful business can only grow with their employees.

- Start communicating openly with the employees.
- Start trusting your employees, you hired them for a reason
- Stop the constant micromanagement. Do not constantly interfere in the day to day work with your experts. Lead the way instead of controlling every detail to the last step.
- Management needs to get training asap.
- Make sure you are doing what your job description says, especially higher positions that are not involved in the day to day business.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Since November 2023, there has been a noticeable decline in morale. You can sense the atmosphere deteriorating with each larger meeting.

Image

Marketing is effectively projecting a positive image externally, but internally, particularly within the Dev-Community, there's a different narrative.

Work-Life-Balance

Work-life balance would be great, but there's a catch. If you are constantly told that you are slow, the mood drops even further.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

The issue lies less in the absence of education and more in the challenge of integrating newly acquired knowledge into current tasks. As the title suggests, there's an emphasis on quantity over quality.

The code quality clearly reflects the company's roots in an agency environment. Instead of focusing on quality, since it is a product and not a project, the main goal is output, regardless of the consequences.

In recent months, navigating the hiring process has posed challenges in terms of career advancement, particularly as internal promotions seem discouraged. The term "nepotism" may even come to mind, reflecting the frustrations experienced.

Gehalt/Benefits

While the company has the potential to excel with consistent benefits, the current situation leaves something to be desired. Despite promises of collective agreement raises for all, it appears that there has been a discrepancy between expectations and reality. Clarity and follow-through on commitments are essential for fostering a positive work environment, and addressing this issue transparently could greatly enhance employee satisfaction and trust in the company's leadership.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

While management frequently travels by plane and car, employees are encouraged to utilize train travel with the benefit "Klimaticket". However, there have been instances where the benefit has been unexpectedly revoked without prior notice, particularly for employees who haven't been regularly present at the headquarters. This situation contrasts with the benefit being initially praised.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

The only reason people are still here is because colleagues support each other at every level.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

The workplace fosters a very open culture where everyone is treated with the respect they deserve.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Micromanagement is pervasive. If you are hired as an expert in your field, don't expect your opinion to be valued. Management calls the shots, despite many colleagues warning about future outcomes and problems. This often leads to very unpleasant situations, and employees are the ones who have to fix the issues, even though they had already warned management many times beforehand.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Kommunikation

Communication is at an all-time low. Many decisions are made behind the scenes. While they talk about transparency, their actions often contradict this claim.

Management frequently assumes that "It's documented in Confluence" is sufficient. However, complex topics like the collective agreement require much more thorough explanation.

Additionally, changes in Confluence are not communicated, forcing individuals to constantly scan for updates themselves.

Gleichberechtigung

The development team is male-dominated, with only one female employee remaining since three were fired in November.

Interessante Aufgaben

What is most painful is that the topics and field of work are genuinely interesting, and the team could achieve great things together. However, we are often overruled by management, which causes us to lose a lot of time. This, in turn, leads to the recurring issue of being asked, "Why are you slow?"

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Leute können in ihre Aufgaben hineinwachsen. Internationales Team, in dem die Leute gut miteinander können und auch feiern. Mitarbeitet sind je nach Zugehörigkeit am Erfolg beteiligt.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Wie gesagt, manchmal vielleicht chaotisch.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Jung, wild, disruptiv. Eventuell manchmal zu chaotisch. Das ist aber dem Wachstum geschuldet.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Schönes, offenes Büro, tolle Wandgestaltung

Image

Spannendes Produkt und Unternehmen, viele internationale Partner. Viele Auszeichnungen in der Branche. Die Großen werden sich noch wundern ;)

Work-Life-Balance

Home Office Angebot, keine Überlastung

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Da ist die Nachfrage vielleicht nicht so hoch aber Teilnahmen an Kongressen, Events und Seminare.

Gehalt/Benefits

Gehalt könnte immer mehr sein aber voll im Rahmen, man kümmert sich um das Team.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Da hat man wenig Berührung aber macht auch, was nötig ist.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Junges Team, arbeitet eng miteinander

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Der CEO ist mit Mitte 40 der Älteste ;) Gibt aber keine Probleme zwischen reiferen und jüngeren Kollegen

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Man kann mit jeder und jedem reden, auf Vorschläge wird eingegangen

Arbeitsbedingungen

Kommunikation

Kurze Kommunikationswege, regelmäßige Updates

Gleichberechtigung

Keine Probleme, in allen Abteilungen, trotzdem branchenüblich mehr Männer.

Interessante Aufgaben

Tolle Produkte und spannende Aufgaben zur Weiterentwicklung

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Inspirierendes Team und super Produkt

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Mehr und bessere Kommunikation.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Sehr freundschaftlich mit einem enormen Spirit.

Image

Das Image ist sehr gut. Ist ja auch ein spitzen Produkt :-) Sogar die Analysten von Gartner sagen das: Pimcore ist "Cool Vendor" im Bereich Digital Commerce für das Jahr 2018.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Kommunikation

Wie auch in anderen Start-Ups ein wenig hektisch ;-) Es gibt schließlich sehr viel zu kommunizieren.

Interessante Aufgaben

Ein mega-spannendes Produkt, das international für Furore sorgt. Ob Entwickler, Marketer oder Manager - bei Pimcore geht's gerade so richtig ab. Sehr spannend...
