Promising start, but ultimately ruined by poor management decisions
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Flexible working hours, an international environment, and work phone
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Firing employees during their probation period, with some not even having worked a full month, was such a terrible thing to do
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Proper planning is key: grow slowly but consistently, reasonably, and sustainably. Frequent salary reviews are important, and don’t toy with people’s lives.
Work-Life-Balance
I can’t complain about that. I had flexible hours and could structure my work in a way that didn’t affect my personal life. I was mostly working from home, which made it easier to balance everything
Karriere/Weiterbildung
The company offered exposure to a lot of dynamic projects, which provided some career growth. However, there were no special programs, so you had to figure out your career path on your own and train yourself
Gehalt/Benefits
I had the same salary for a long time and never received a raise. New employees were being paid more, while those of us who had been there longer stayed the same. On top of that, older employees were asked to take salary cuts, while top management and their close colleagues continued to pay themselves large salaries
Kollegenzusammenhalt
I had a great experience with my primary team. They were some of the best and most intelligent minds I’ve worked with. We shared amazing moments that I’ll always cherish, including great offsite events and lots of fun. With the other teams and external agencies after that, it wasn’t as great. The environment became tense, focused solely on work, and frequent organizational changes didn’t help improve the situation
Kommunikation
