Cool local tech company with interesting software products and a diverse team
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The people; a kind, diverse and fun set of humans. The cool SaaS products we get to build and improve. The interesting and really diverse challenges to tackle, the impact we can have and just generally enjoying being at work.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
There’s nothing I genuinely dislike at the moment. I feel safe to voice suggestions and concerns with my manager and the people team (HR).
Verbesserungsvorschläge
This is hard. TimeTac is a well-running organization, so this is more a collection of ideas than criticism: what I’ve had in other tech companies and enjoyed were: a performance-based bonus system, company equity, more home office days, a dedicated conference/training budget per employee/year, well-formulated career paths per role, working remotely from abroad 2–6 weeks a year, dedicated diversity/equity/inclusion mentoring programs to diversify the leadership team.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
TimeTac is a genuinely great workplace. I don’t dread Mondays; I actually look forward to going to work. The products are interesting and my work is multifaceted.
Image
TimeTac is well known locally and continues to grow its visibility. The company invests in showing more of how we work, and we’ve started hosting public events, which supports that direction.
Work-Life-Balance
Compared to other tech companies, I rarely see people stressed to their core due to their workload. I can personally arrange my work as I see fit and can come and go flexibly, within reasonable guardrails. When I leave for the weekend, I can mentally let work stay at work.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
You can learn a lot at TimeTac and grow in many ways: through communities of practice, exchange with colleagues, mentoring. TimeTac has a flat hierarchy; if you’re after loads of promotions in a short amount of time, a larger global tech company will serve this need better.
Gehalt/Benefits
Salaries are fair within the Austrian market. It can‘t quite compare with international Silicon Valley tech salary standards, but the social system and infrastructure in Austria are good, so you don’t need to budget for private health care or even a car.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Waste is separated, printers aren’t overused, heating is used responsibly, food isn’t wasted. I’d also say it’s also a rather health-conscious company; sponsoring events like the Graz Business Run.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Newbies are welcomed open-heartedly through structured onboarding, including a buddy program. Team members and managers support each other. Breaks are spent together if you like. You can hear people having an occasional laugh in their offices. There are quarterly team events, rooftop gatherings etc. People also meet outside of work for darts, billiard, bouldering; you name it. Lasting friendships have formed at TimeTac; it’s a bunch of great people.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
We’re a rather young team, which again is normal for tech companies. What’s interesting is that there are plenty of colleagues with a really long tenure (5+, 10+ years) at TimeTac, which really speaks for the company as an employer.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
My manager gives me a great deal of trust, transparency and freedom, which is really all one can ask for. Obviously this depends on the manager, but generally speaking, leaders are decent humans with a good moral compass in addition to their skillset.
Arbeitsbedingungen
We’re supported in many ways: free equipment choice within a budget, daily food vouchers, a health budget, massages, a central office with a rooftop terrace, occasional paid lunches, team events etc.
Kommunikation
It‘s fairly transparent what we’re working towards: TimeTac has an annual strategy and we get to set quarterly team OKRs. In a bi-weekly rhythm, there are company-wide business updates and teams can share insights. Remote and asynchronous communication is ever improving; we use Slack, Google Meet etc.
Gleichberechtigung
(As in many tech companies!) leadership isn’t yet as diverse as the wider team. The overall team, however, is very mixed: we’re from over 18 nations, different ages and social backgrounds.
Interessante Aufgaben
There is so much variety in my work! I get to solve really tricky business problems and collaborate across teams. This is my number one driver for loving my work at TimeTac.
