unbelievably bad management in marketing/cs. founders make consecutively extremely poor hiring decisions or micromanage
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
initial mission is cool. front desk ppl are nice and are caring and provide snacks. some colleagues are amazing
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
it was amazing now it is not. there was a wave where people were let go, and now it feels (only feels before you remove this comment because it is "untrue" hr) as if it is happening again. people see good performing people get fired and they are not sure.. why?? am i next?
Verbesserungsvorschläge
please please PLEASE start being open and honest. if people are being let go take ownership. say why they are being let go. stop with the fake we are parting on mutual terms thing. recent firings in CS and marketing show that top leaders have no clue what is going on. if you want people to get a good feeling about this organisation before they join..? change your ways. dare to be criticised for taking decisions!!!
restructure marketing and customer success immediately as was done with hr, and please put a more suiable person at the top. until then the organisation will suffer.
one of the two founders is so so sooo busy with operational stuff that nothing is happening. no reply to messages nothing. it is insane. they micromanage and take part in decisions that should be 1000kms seperated from them. if you are the product founder reading this.. take a step back. you are helping nobody this way.
if you are the other founder: please follow a course on how to hire people that know what they are doing at their job.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
as an example, there is one super toxic eomployee that is a developer. but the founder likes him so guess what he is going nowhere. ppl hate him but, colour me surprised, he is here to stay
Kollegenzusammenhalt
doesn't matter because they might be gone one to the next day
Arbeitsbedingungen
the most incapable people are really at the top of the org tree. micromanagement, chaos and more.
Kommunikation
there is no such thing as transparency. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!

Arbeitgeber-Kommentar
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. At Prewave, we value open feedback and recognise that our journey as a growing company involves continuous learning and improvement.
With around just 220 employees, our founders remain closely involved in day-to-day operations to ensure we stay true to our mission and values while scaling responsibly. Their hands-on approach helps maintain quality, alignment, and a deep understanding of both our people and our product - which we see as a strength, not a limitation.
Having said that, as the founders gradually shift from being involved in daily operations to focusing on more strategic roles, they'll continue working closely with our VPs to provide guidance. Our leadership teams and founders stay connected to make sure we’re all aligned around Prewave’s mission and goals. As we keep growing, we know that leadership changes can sometimes be challenging, and we’re focused on building a structure that supports our people, our values, and long-term success together.
We also strive to be as transparent as possible while respecting the privacy of every individual at Prewave. This means that the reasons behind someone’s departure cannot always be shared publicly. However, we’re working to significantly improve our internal communication to keep everyone informed - through our new company meeting format, dedicated Slack channels, and listening sessions.
Finally, please note that Prewave cannot decide which reviews remain visible on Kununu. The platform independently moderates all content and only removes posts that breach its community or content standards. Constructive feedback is always welcome, as it helps us continue to grow stronger together - if you would like to discuss your feedback further, please feel free reach out to our confidential feedback channel at feedback@prewave.ai
