Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

- High flexibility regarding work from home
- Dynamic working hours
- Some very kind colleagues
- In principal, a very interesting product

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

- The upper management needs training
- Individual employees are not valued and thus, no effort is made to keep them
- Chaotic processes and indecision which leads to work being done for nothing
- Very conservative stance and subpar performance of some long-time employees which noone is allowed to challenge

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Due to the previously mentioned issues of favouritism not the best atmosphere to work in as some colleagues seem to be valued more for doing considerably less work.

Work-Life-Balance

The very flexible work from home policy was actually the best thing about this employer, making it easy to be productive and focused while working.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

No growth opportunities whatsoever, even when interest to work in a different department is expressed and there is already collaboration. Instead, they prefer to bring in new people from outside.

Gehalt/Benefits

Salaries are subpar compared to similar positions in the industry. They try to keep everyone happy by offering other benefits such as free cooked food at the offices but it seems this is just done to save money on actual proper salaries (as offering benefits gives the company tax advantages).
No christmas bonus.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Non-existent. There were compulsory offsites in the office in Sardinia, where everyone was asked to fly. Not exactly environmentally responsible when it comes to carbon footprint.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

There are some characters in higher positions who are not suited to or trained for management roles. Dichotomy when it comes to culture: very open and friendly at first glance but when you get deeper into it, there's backstabbing and favouritism.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

The few older colleagues we had seemed to be integrated well.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

C-levels need management training as most are ex physicians and not really fit to run a company.

Arbeitsbedingungen

The offices were rather small and cramped, no one has their own desk so it's very stressful to find a place to work. Management decisions regarding presence in the office were highly questionable sometimes, e.g. last winter there was a compulsory onsite "Hackathon" where many employees contracted COVID.
The only plus regarding working conditions was the great flexibility when it came to working from home.

Kommunikation

No transparency at all.

Gleichberechtigung

It seems that certain employees who have been part of the core group from the beginning are being favoured above everyone else.

Interessante Aufgaben

There was a pronounced fear of trying new things or being open to innovation so tasks tended to become repetitive.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

- Zusammenarbeit mit vereinzelten Kollegen, die Projekte vorantreiben möchten
- Möglichkeit und Verfügbarkeit an Ressourcen

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

- Das Team zerfällt, viele sind unglücklich und frustriert, weil sie sich nur wenige trauen, ihre Meinung transparent zu kommunizieren, obwohl einem die offene Tür angepriesen wird
- Es herrscht häufig ein Gegeneinander/ Ausspielen, anstatt Miteinander
- Individuelle Mitarbeiter werden funktional gesehen, aber oftmals nicht wert geschätzt
- Sehr langlebige & chaotische (teils nicht existierende/definierte) Prozesse: Themen werden über Monatelang diskutiert, anstatt exekutiert, Management verharrt auf Perfektionismus, anstatt die Wagnis, zu probieren und zu studieren
- Einige Teams sind durch vorherige Zusammenarbeit aus vorherigen Firmen entstanden, was u.a. die Offenheit & Verständnis oder Vertrauen auf/für andere Teammitglieder erschwert

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Die Mission der Firma

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Top Management

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Tolles Office, ganz tolle Menschen. Leider demoralisieren manche Vorgesetzte ihre Mitarbeiter eher als dass sie sie motivieren. Das schlägt sich dann leider auch direkt wieder und viele Mitarbeiter sehen sich nach einer anderen Position um obwohl sie das Unternehmen eigentlich lieben

Work-Life-Balance

Remote Working wird klar unterstützt, die Arbeitszeiten sind sehr locker und der Workload ist definitiv schaffbar

Gehalt/Benefits

Deutlich unterdurchschnittliche Gehälter - entspricht nicht der Größe des Unternehmens.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Selten so nette Kollegen gehabt - das sind wirklich einfach GUTE Menschen bei dieser Firma!

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Es gibt eigentlich keine älteren Kollegen und sie haben es auch im Recruiting Prozess deutlich schwieriger

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Realistische Zielsetzungen sind bei AMBOSS Mangelware. Ziele werden utopisch gesteckt, das Erreichen ist nicht relevant. Top Level Mgmt Entscheidungen sind oft sehr erratisch und intransparent.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

I fell appreciated for what i do
The colleagues are awesome
The company values me as an employee and as a private person

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Sometimes it can get a bit chaotic

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Tolles Arbeitsklima, super freundliches offenes Team mit toller Vision und Arbeitseinstellung

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Wenig Job Sicherheit oder Sozialleistungen als Freelancer

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Aufstrebendes Unternehmen mit vielen Gestaltungs- und Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten, Employee Perks und flexiblen Arbeitszeiten. Flache Hierarchen, offene Kritikkultur und Mitarbeiterförderung durch Fortbildungen. Motivierendes Mission Statement und sehr engagierte Kollegen.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Da das Unternehmen noch recht jung sind, sind viele Arbeitsprozesse noch ständig im Wandel, werden aber zunehmend professionalisiert und optimiert.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

nichts

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

beinahe alles. Schlechte Bezahlung, schlechte Arbeitserwartungen, keine Anerkennung für gute Arbeit, kein Feedback oder Anleitung zur Verbesserung, nur ausgewählte "cool kids" sind wichtig und werden gut bezahlt.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

That it feels like a second home with plenty of household stuff to do but everyone is helping the best way he can :)

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Can't really tell a "big" bad thing, just the money and communication things i mentioned above are a bit frustrating from time to time

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Arbeitsatmosphäre

It's the core of the culture since the first day I work there, and it's running very well even when something went wrong you've always someone to talk to

Image

See the core elements mentioned above plus the overall goal to give future and present doctors a product that'll help to save lifes

Work-Life-Balance

Everyone in the company tries to make it possible to handle all you're stuff you're involved in, without asking about details when it's not necessary

Karriere/Weiterbildung

started as a freeworker, then half-time, trainee and proud full time job since years
so im pretty thankful for having the opportunity to grow with the company

Gehalt/Benefits

No Bonus, no christmas allowance, seeing the income of the company on the other hand...
i'm sure more money in the pocket would have hold some more core employes in the past.
And with love and kidness alone you can't feed your child

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Again a big point in the culture of the company since day one, running well as it's possible in our country

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Can talk only about my department but it's great! Lovely people and nice to see everyone in video chat every day even if we're far away from each other (even before Covid-19)

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

see point above

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Back in the days it was a closer relationship between "heads" and "workers" but easier with 5-10 people in the office, changed a bit over the years but i think that's normal when you got to manage more then 150 people and still looking for innovation and progress

Arbeitsbedingungen

Nice rooms, nice chairs and tables and whatever you need during the day
starting from the coffee, over sports, over childcare,... ending by the balconies with the great view over berlin

Kommunikation

Huge challenge in every growing company, sometimes too much information, sometimes too less, felt a bit overruled in some situations by just not knowing things like what was going in past discussions or a lack of communication but working on it everyday

Gleichberechtigung

One of the core elements of the culture, never seen someone judged by his look our culture or whatever since the first day

Interessante Aufgaben

Everyday still challenging, if you got nothing interesting you'll find something pretty quick

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Social integration and happy feeling throughout the work life and low hierarchies.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Nothing really negative. There are upward potentials but the company always seeks for making it a better place.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Arbeitsatmosphäre

It can't be better. You feel like in a community, welcome right away. And the working environment is very comforting.

Image

It has one of the best images in the world, also due to its charity aspect, helping out in third world countries to spread better medical education through out the world.

Work-Life-Balance

Due to a high level of social integration and that everyone looks after another you should not be overworked. The company never longs for to much.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

You have the possibility but you have to go for it and take the initiative. On the other hand you get a lot of inhouse workshops and get German courses for free.

Gehalt/Benefits

What do you expect? It's health and studies branch and it's a young company. You don't get a fortune but therefore you get a lot of extra food and drinks and activities for free.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Absolutely great

Kollegenzusammenhalt

This is what makes the company great! You can be alone in what you are doing but never lonesome in the process.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Young or old doesn't matter, everyone is in the team.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Very nice and mostly on an equal level to also keep work processes very simple. Sometimes you wish for more structures and awareness of responsibilities, but if that's the case you should take the responsibility - it's a startup.

Arbeitsbedingungen

You get one of the best spots in Berlin to work at and the company is always willing to give you the best working environment they can.

Kommunikation

Communication on a social level is very important in this company. Work wise there is always upward potential especially in a fast growing startup.

Gleichberechtigung

If you feel not equally treated, you just say something and you are heard and everybody is open for improvement.

Interessante Aufgaben

Very interesting if you have somehow the relation to medicine or want to make the world a bit better.
