Disgusting company where ego overrules logic. Employees are simply a number.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Absolutely nothing.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Absolutely everything.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Hire new VPs who know what they're doing. Being the first employee isn't a qualification for being a VP.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
They're making office days mandatory now even though the company has been totally remote for years.
Kommunikation
Leadership knows barely anything. The employees know less.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Non-existent.
Work-Life-Balance
Overhours are celebrated.
Interessante Aufgaben
Busy work is prioritized above all.
Gleichberechtigung
Not at all. The data was shown in a company meeting and tried to be justified.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Average age around 30.
Arbeitsbedingungen
You get a used computer and other equipment.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Mid to low end. No chance of a decent raise.
Image
It's all pretend. Anything you read as a potential applicant will soon become untrue once you've started working here.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
No path. No direction. Leads choose favorites and promote based on that despite performance.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Arbeitgeber-Kommentar
Hey there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your review, even though we would have certainly wished for a better rating.
While critical conversations are best held 1:1, we would like to clarify a few of your statements as they fortunately do not reflect our business reality:
1. Every leader needs to undergo a multi-staged hiring process before they are able to start their role. As we only introduced this a few years ago, we certainly still have leaders who have not undergone this process, however every leader receives numerous hours of training in addition to their 1:1 coachings.
2. Fortunately, most Runtastics feel a strong sense of belonging and team spirit, which we can not only tell from our Engagement Survey data, but from the daily interactions in our social Slack channels (such as #appreciation), and the proactive support folks are offering whenever a problem arises.
3. DEI related efforts are a crucial topic for us, wherefore we have defined company goals that not only aim at increasing diversity within the teams and across all leadership levels, but also ensure that everyone, no matter the background, feels safe to be the person that they truly are.
4. Yes, we decided to offer remote options to our employees once the pandemic hit. Now that we are back to a somewhat normal life, we align our approach with the wider adidas organization, and bring the team back to the office on a regular basis. Luckily, we have three great offices in LNZ, VIE and SBG and it is up to the individual where they spend their office days.
5. Indeed, the workload is currently high and we are aware of that. However, we continue encouraging our teams and leaders to define their goals themselves (and prioritize accordingly), to take (mental) health days whenever needed, and to make full use of their six vacation weeks.
Anyways, we are sorry to read that your experience at Runtastic was such a negative one for you. We sincerely hope that you took the time to elaborate on your thoughts more thoroughly in one of our many feedback formats, like the Engagement or Exit survey, our company-wide meetings and Q&A, the suggestion inbox, your regular 1:1 with your team lead or Skip Level Talk with your VP or MD.
All the best for your future endeavours,
Monika Dauterive
(People & Culture Manager)
