Arrogant and Immature

Ex-Werkstudent/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr im Bereich IT bei ABOUT YOU Holding SE in Hamburg gearbeitet.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

No one talks because of the top down pressure from upper management constantly applied onto inexperienced product managers. Everyone is out for themselves, you will be forced to attend team events as a fake (and cringe) attempt of social cohesion

Kommunikation

You are not really told what is going on, senior management tend to hide information. And knowledge sharing is not really encouraged, due to the other comments listed here

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Everyone is so busy working and being pushed around to consider anyone but their own wellbeing

Work-Life-Balance

Absolutely none. The company culture consists of prioritising the wishes of the company (shareholders) above wellbeing of employees

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Arrogant, know-it-all, egotistical, insecure. Like to give the look of appearance but you wouldn't trust them as far as you can throw them. They pretend to care but it is so apparently ingenuine that it is very embarrasing, as though the company culture has melted away any sense of empathy they ever had

Interessante Aufgaben

Doesn't matter when you have no personal space or time to enjoy what you are doing

Gleichberechtigung

good gender equality

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Everyone is <30, will relatively little real-world experience (or expectations to match)

Arbeitsbedingungen

Absolutely terrible. It's as if having a personality there is disallowed; the people who seem to thrive in the company are the ones with little personality, general disregard for the wellbeing of others, and a general self-obsession.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

If there was some attempt at Environmental / social awareness it would not be sincere

Gehalt/Sozialleistungen

No benefits, minimum holiday. Arrogant and insecure managers will push for overtime and expect you thank them for it, whilst they grovel on their knees to their superiors behind closed doors

During my short time at About You one thing I learnt is what an amazing scam the company is. It is a company with clever marketing that focuses on pushing a strong brand as an ;innovator'. When in fact they don't innovate at all, they are simply an online retailer with a business model of hiring Eastern Europeans or graduates with low expectations of living & working standards.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

If you like working overtime for free to make early retirement for a small group of people then this is the place for you

Arbeitgeber-Kommentar

Dear former colleague,

Thank you for your feedback.
It is a pity to read that your experience at our company was this unsatisfactory. We are very concerned with our employees’ well being and we are always working on improving any possible issues. Our monthly feedback survey shows results of a great team spirit within ABOUT YOU. Teamwork and a pleasant atmosphere are very important to us, just like an open and honest communication as well as transparency both within the team and with the teamlead. We encourage team events and networking; we want our employees to feel as comfortable and friendly around each other as possible, however, of course none of these events are mandatory.
We work hard on making sure that working overtime does not become a regularity. In some cases, though, exciting projects may be a little more time-sensitive and thus time-consuming which may lead to temporary period of a heavier workload.
As we try to ensure an as pleasant as possible atmosphere, we offer a number of benefits including free drinks, fresh fruit, regular company events, sports courses, employee discounts as well as flexible working hours.
I would very much like to talk to you in more detail about your experience at ABOUT YOU - please feel free to contact me. I’m looking forward to hearing from you (kira.niklas@aboutyou.de, 040 638 569 164).

With the best regards,
Kira Niklas
Teamlead Fashion & Business Recruiting
