All the glitter, but only on the outside
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Remote work, great colleagues
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Not acting according their own values anymore. On your career page you say,
that your employees are your most precious capital. It really does not feel like that anymore.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Appreciate your employees and be respectful, even if you have to lay off people. Look more inside to find talents, instead of hiring your management buddies. Make sure team leads are trained as such. Stop spending money like a big player, and then go nuts after a view underperforming months. We are still a scale up.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The spirit within the company changed drastically in the last two years. They tried to be hip and fancy, but this did not hold for long. Now, benefits get killed again and plenty of people get layed off. It does not feel like an appreciative and safe place to work anymore.
Kommunikation
There is a lot of communication going on, and management was always praising them self for their great transparency. This might have been the case as long as everything was good. As numbers are not as good as expected, they are quick to cut their open communication amongst all teamies. Especially the way how they communicate, misses the respect for the people working for air up and giving their all since many years. People just get a random call, where they are told that they are released, and they are logged off all company systems right after. You don’t even have the chance to say bye to your colleagues.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
There are amazing people working for air up and it is always very collaborative to work with peers. I never worked in a company before, were the intrinsic motivation and passion of employees was so high.
Unfortunately, this great work spirit is heavily impacted by the awful decisions and actions from the middle, but especially upper management.
Work-Life-Balance
The pressure is extremely high, and although each and everyone is going above and beyond to meet the expectations, it is never rewarded. In every all hands meeting, we are just told, that it is only on us, to improve the current performance. It is never talked about the poor management decisions, that also brought us into this situation in the first place. Shit happens and you learn from your mistakes, but the blame game, especially from the C-level, is big and very demotivating.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
This depends a lot on the team. There are great leaders, such that try their best but just miss some experience and others, that are just not leaders at all. They should train their managers and define some standards and guidelines. Generally speaking, micromanagement is big at air up, and got way worse in the last two years.
Interessante Aufgaben
In theory, there a many very interesting and challenging positions at air up. With the level of micromanagement we face from managers, there unfortunately is not much left. But of course you are still responsible in case of a *uck up, although your manager took all the decisions for you
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Generally a very young team, amongst all departments, but I never experienced any difference in how older colleagues are treated
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
They just introduced carrier lathers with salary ranges per function. They also support a pension plan and sport clubs etc. Let‘s see if there will be any cuts on this too.
We did not get any inflation support payments, like many other companies did, based on the tax free payments the government offered.

Shiny on the outside, but it stops there…
Karriere/Weiterbildung
They rather higher someone new from there awesome „network“ instead of supporting and developing people that are already doing this job for years. We have a yearly training budget, which just was put on hold.
