Friendly workplace with talented and caring colleagues
Arbeitsatmosphäre
I think Liip could work a bit more on showing appreciation where it's due. But in general I think it is a good working atmosphere where I could feel trusted and fairly treated.

A lot of people in Switzerland heard of Liip and have a positive response to me having worked there.
Work-Life-Balance
There is extra parental benefits and Liip shows that they care about families. They support people having a family. There has been pressure to work long hours from time to time, but this is more from individual roles and does not reflect the company that in overall cares.
Liip also has absolutely no problem with people working part time, 80% is extremely common and may even be standard? This fosters a really good work environment.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Sustainability feels like it is in the core of Liip.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Overall, people at Liip has been lovely to work with and we have had a good collaboration and communication. There has been times where teams have been thrown together and suffered a bit from having to quickly find ways to communicate, but this has been rare in my time there and is an exception rather than a rule.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Most are not older, neither am I, so I can not properly judge this. I like to think that there is no age discrimination at Liip.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
It is difficult to balance Leadership behaviour in a company with holacracy where in theory the employees have a say about everything, but in practise we are often surprised by decisions we did not know about in advance.
In general: I do believe leadership always act with the best interest of the company in mind, but they do need to show some more empathy at times.
Arbeitsbedingungen
In summer the offices can get warm, but we do get to work from home if it is unbearable :)
Kommunikation
Internal communication has on times had things to wish for. There has been confusion and sometimes a bit of a mess in the past, leading to unnecessary worries and rumours.
BUT what is really positive is that it is always cleared up in the end, therefore despite the worries sometimes, I still give Liip a 4 star rating here.
Gleichberechtigung
I have rarely seen any signs of gender discrimination at Liip. They also have a behaviour charter to help guide people in the right direction.
This is a topic that Liip cares about deeply and it shows. I would recommend Liip to any women and not-cis-men that are worried about this.
I did like that the salary system largely benefited people that normally do not speak up, which includes many women as we are socially trained that way. BUT there are still elements of having to be good at advocating for oneself, which may be uncomfortable for some people, especially minority groups.
Interessante Aufgaben
Not everything at work can be interesting, but I feel there has during most of my time at Liip been interesting work to do.
