Big disappointment. Huge opportunity wasted.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Colleagues (unfortunately by now, many have lost hope and are only waiting for the right opportunity to leave)
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Over the cause of the year 2024, more than 20 people were laid off in total (it's not 100% clear who many exactly, but I can count min 20). After first round of layoffs, CEO publicly promised that this was an exception only to lay of 10 or so more people 2 months later. There were many other instances of heavily over-promising. I recommend the shareholders/board to replace the CEO.

Heavily depends on who you ask.
Work-Life-Balance
Permanently high stress levels and no real change in the company to improve the big problems burned me out.
Gehalt/Benefits
Decent salaray. While it's not matching the revenues and size of the company, it's a more than solid salary for the employees.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The team is the core and the sole reason why the company is still alive. Strong people of which many do 60+ hrs weeks to make it work.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
CEO reluctant / immune to advise from his management team. Tendency to come across with toxic positivity. Sending overly positive messages on things in the future that -in most cases- never materialize, leading to even more disappointment in the team.
Kommunikation
Leadership and HR do a consistently poor job in communication. I'm sometimes asking myself whether the CEO actually believes his own words.
Interessante Aufgaben
Depends on the projects, but overall rather scratching the surface in terms of AI as appliedAI has had a small number (and currently has none) actual AI engineering projects with the opportunity to dive into the biggest and most interesting customer AI problems.
