I actually enjoyed working there. colleagues & team work works very well. there are several high potentials in the company. the company culture, which owners and mgmt actively promote is very open and welcoming. onboarding and offboarding process is done well. strong focus on People & Culture helps. flexible work hours.
vision is unclear or seems to change a lot. i missed structure and clear goals during my time at smec. a lot is done ad-hoc. work load is too much and in no relation to the salary, if you dont actively push back on it. location of Linz office is not super-easy to reach by public transport, but good with a bike
clarify and stick to vision. provide more structure and direction to get rid of redundant tasks
in general quite good
ok in the PPC field, i guess
not adequate for salary level
depends; very good internal onboarding, little or no other, more general trainings.
in absolute terms okay, but in my opinion for the general workload rather on the lower level (depending on which other companies you compare it to). but there are perks like parties, etc.
there are efforts
very positive
good as far as I can tell
depends. In general good intentions and open communication and collaborative culture, but not always structured enough to provide good guidance; regular changes in direction of vision
nice offices, macbook, flexibility from where you work. offices in nice locations. telephone booths for calls exist, but are small and quickly have bad air inside. both offices have open floor plans (which is pretty much industry standard) - if you like this, perfect. if not, you might get distracted more easily
mgmt makes efforts to communicate very openly, but the not so positive information is often sugar-coated and not transparent
there are efforts. still male-dominated top mgmt.
depends, but in general yes. if you are proactive, you can co-define some of your work
- The amazing colleagues
- Weekly team lunches & breakfast
- Equipment (Apple hardware, home office equipment)
- Mental & physical health initiatives
- Linz office is pretty cool from an architectural point of view, Vienna office is very convenient
- They really tried to make the off-boarding process for laid-off employees as easy as possible and provided support (kudos to the People & Culture team!)
- Meetups & parties are really fun
- Lack of vision from leadership
- Too many cooks spoil the broth: Often there were many people with different agendas involved in one project, making it hard to work in an agile & fast way. This causes the company to lose valuable time to respond to the changing customer & market needs.
- Be more transparent if the company is struggling.
- Appreciate and support your in-house talent. There are so many knowledgable
people in the company that would be dearly missed if they ever left smec.
Depends on the team. In my case, the overall work environment was very good, transparent & open. It was a pleasure to work with highly-motivated people. However, this positive vibe is not the norm for every department/team. Especially client-facing units seemed to struggle due to competitiveness between the teams.
Depends on who you ask - outside of the online retail sector barely anyone knows them. They try really hard to keep up their good employee ratings to be attractive to talent.
Depends on the department or team you work in. While there were some fixed meetings throughout the week, the rest of the working day was rather flexible. They allow home office for 2 days a week. Unfortunately, their remote work policy to work from abroad is rather rigid.
Waste separation, organic snacks, collecting donations for Ukraine & Christmas - so it could be more
In my team it was excellent
There were only few older employees
Sometimes it seemed like leadership was relying on their gut feeling instead of data when making decisions. Ad hoc changes in strategy and re-prioritizations were very common, making work unpredictable. Employees are rarely asked for their opinions.
Good equipment, however no adjustable desks in the Linz office (only in Vienna)
smec prides itself on communicating openly & transparently (e.g. through meet ups & townhall meetings), but only if it's something positive. The bad news about the company you'll only hear through the grapevine. One specific example: They started booking rooms for employees for a company event only a few days before laying off a significant amount of people. No signs from leadership that the company was struggling before, but many people already suspected something like this had to happen.
Industry-average
C-level is male-only and only a couple of women are in leading positions. Other than that it seems that whoever is friends with the higher-ups gets the promotion - it's getting more and more political.
very cool onboarding system for new employees, open communication, being able to work remotely, always a lot of fun in the office
breakfast & lunch
focus a bit more on people's mental health - many people seem stressed out
even though people seem very stressed out at work, there's almost always a good atmosphere, everybody is open-minded for conversations :)
especially with being able to work remotely or 10 days abroad/year, smec really focuses on work-life-balance - there are also yoga classes & employees have access to psycholgists which is also great
+ bonussystem
can only speak for my team but we support each other wherever and whenever we can - there are also many teamevents at smec that help with strengthening work relationships
quite transparent way of sharing information regarding the company but also when it comes down to oneself - open communication, no hidden discussions
They know how to party
no one knows them
consider they just fired one third of the company
status quo is rarely challenged
Clearly there's a problem in decision making
Despite the countless meetings miscommunication is the norm
pay is below standards
no vision from executive team, which seems to have no clue of what's happening for the most part
Es hängt wirklich vom Team ab, aber insgesamt denke ich, dass die Atmosphäre recht gut ist. Es sieht auch so aus, als ob die Unternehmenskultur den Gründern sehr wichtig ist.
Menschen in der Branche kennen das Unternehmen und haben positive Assoziationen. Menschen außerhalb der Branche kennen das Unternehmen in der Regel nicht.
Es kommt darauf an, was man daraus macht. Natürlich gibt es viel arbeit und leistung ist wichtig, aber wenn man wirklich mit der arbeitslast zu kämpfen hat, sind die meisten Manager offen für Gespräche über Prioritäten und Möglichkeiten der arbeitsumverteilung
Karriere kann aufgrund der Unternehmensstruktur schwierig sein. Manchmal werden Sonderrollen geschaffen, um den Leuten ein Erfolgserlebnis zu verschaffen, was ein guter Schritt ist, aber manchmal etwas seltsam wirkt.
Das Einkommen hängt sehr stark von der Funktion und der Gehaltsverhandlung ab. Einige Abteilungen werden in Bezug auf das Gehalt definitiv bevorzugt. Für Einsteiger ist das Gehalt glaube ich ok und es wird immer pünktlich gezahlt. Abgesehen vom Geld bietet das Unternehmen aber auch noch z.B. Yoga-Kurse und psychologische Unterstützung an was ich gut finde.
Sehr gute projektbasierte Initiativen zur Unterstützung von Obdachlosen oder internationalen Initiativen. In letzter Zeit gab es weniger davon, aber es ist dem Unternehmen wichtig, der Gesellschaft etwas zurückzugeben.
Es hängt vom Team ab, in dem man arbeitet, aber im Allgemeinen helfen sich alle Kollegen bei SMEC gegenseitig. Man kann mit jedem reden und es gibt häufig immer wieder Get-Togethers.
Die meisten Kollegen sind recht jung (Anfang 20 bis 30). Ältere Kollegen werden aber nicht benachteiligt oder ausgeschlossen.
Manche Führungskräfte sind besser als andere, es kommt also wirklich darauf an. Für mich ist es in Ordnung.
Manchmal kann die Kommunikation etwas schwierig sein, vor allem in großen abteilungen oder zwischen verschiedenen standorten (wien, linz, london). Es gab ein paar male, wo ich mir mehr klarheit gewünscht hätte, aber man kann zumindest sehen, dass das unternehmen aktiv versucht, die kommunikation zu verbessern.
Das Management wird sehr stark von Männern dominiert und manchmal hat man das Gefühl, dass Beförderungen primär an männliche Kollegen gehen. Ich glaube nicht, dass dies absichtlich geschieht (oder dass es nur SMEC betrifft) aber es fällt trotzdem auf. Bei den internationalen Kollegen habe ich bisher keine Diskriminierung festgestellt.
- the employees
already mentioned above
- putting less pressure on people
- live according to your words
- Mostly stress oriented - it kinda makes me sad how some of my favorite coworkers are overwhelmed with the workload and emotionally drowning. Some employees are not valued as much as they should be and do not receive the level of appreciation that they deserve. There were people crying because of work.
+ The coworkers definitely help here and improve the situation. If it wouldn’t be for them the culture would look differently.
Externally -> great. (Marketing does the job)
Internally -> not so much.
- Basically non-existent, you are not supposed to use the word in the company since top-level management does not like the term. Stress is the predominant modus operandi. If you leave early or spend to much time at the coffee machine bad remarks are made.
+ You can arrange your schedule to take doctors appointments etc.
- Middle management positions are filled with external hires. There is not much chance to get into one unless you are able to sell yourself well and get along with top management. What you deliver in terms of work does not really count.
+ There are possibilities to work yourself up in the career path, but this usually comes with continuing to do what you already did, just with a nicer job title.
- Salaries are low. Juniors are pushed into all-in contracts even if it is their first job and they have little opportunities to find out how many hours of work the job requires.
+ You can get bonuses.
There are initiatives that support social causes, but internally there is not much done.
+ The mindset among the colleagues is definitely the best part about the company (most of the employees that work there are amazing, I met great people that are now friends). Most coworkers are extremely helpful, you will always find someone to support you and give you additional input if needed. It is really amazing how great the relationship among colleagues can be. Also the company allows you to stay in the office after work to have a beer/wine.
+ Older colleagues are in some cases even favored. Especially when introducing fixed office days, the rules did not apply.
- No leadership -> decisions are changed constantly, there is no clear line, especially top management does not keep their word, you basically never know what is right or wrong in a specific moment.
- Additionally, there is a strong emphasis on making sure everyone is equal. This is however not lived by top-management. Your are e.g. supposed to put your dirty cups into the dishwasher, but the higher you get the less you will see that. Equality is praised, but not demonstrated in the higher ranks.
- The office in general is nice and pretty, but you do not get height-adjustable desks, as it is more important to have a nice office than an ergonomically well adjustable one.
+ Great to be able to work on Mac Books.
- There are different formats and you are able to ask questions, but mostly not anonymously which makes it difficult. No one really dares to ask challenging questions in fear of repercussions.
+ Formats are mostly standardized. You know what to expect in each one.
+ There are initiatives for woman, but not everyone is included.
- There are definitely a few, but most of the tasks come from permanently changing direction and not knowing what to do exactly, it is a lot of overhead that could be easily avoided.
+ If you want to work more / take more responsibility you definitely have the chance to evolve your role with flexibility.
The work itself was fun and rewarding, a lot of the people are amazing, they do at times spend on their employees for things like birthday presents or parties.
Lots of internal struggle and questionable decisions from Management, bad communication, general feeling of a downward trend.
It really depends in which department you work, but in general at least within a lot of teams there is a positive working atmosphere.
Has been on a steady decline.
Strongly depends on the department. A lot of people don't have the time to work on their career paths. However, it should be noted that there are also positive examples of people who have been able to start at the bottom and work their way up.
Used to be competitive but not so anymore.
I am not aware of any actions in this direction.
Really depends. A lot of key people are way over-worked and therefore often reluctant to help out. However. I have also had a lot of co-workers who were always eager to help.
My immediate supervisors were fair and upfront, however a lot of the top-down communication, especially over the last year was at times deceptive and dishonest. On several occasions people have been pressured into positions they didn't want or denied positions for flimsy reasons.
Probably one of the things that need improvement the most. Both top-down as well as between departments communication can be really frustrating and unproductive.
gute Macs
So verdient kununu Geld.
