Verbesserungsvorschläge

Listen to employees as you listen to managers. Managers can also be bad. Evaluate in a non-bias manner please.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

When I first joined, I was so excited and motivated. The team is young, super friendly and approachable. It really felt like a small family, until the layoffs… It felt like it was all just for show. In just a couple of months, we went from high team spirits to complete betrayal. Management approach is very diplomatic and unrealistic. When things were going south, management actually told everyone that there will be no layoffs. A week later, they fired people “randomly”.

Image

Internal and external stakeholders lost trust in management.

Work-Life-Balance

This is also one of the best aspects of working at appliedAI. I really had a very flexible working lifestyle - so I can’t complain.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

There was no clear career path for me here.

Gehalt/Benefits

At least for my position, it was not too bad.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

The team is one of the best I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. Such a shame that the company crushed their spirits like that.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

My manager was a bit older. He had a traditional management style.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

I had the worst manager. There was always something lost in translation because his english wasn’t as good. Even though the company internal communication was clearly stated as English, he didn’t like to put any effort in speaking to me in English. Not only in non-work related topics, but also work related. And then got ANGRY if things didn’t go as he wanted them to be. I raised this multiple times to him and to people team, the response I got was just diplomatic. He actually pushed for my layoff and my colleagues raised an HR ticket demanding justifiable reason. Of course nothing happened because of management politics, so many people ended up quitting out of fear and lack of respect.

Arbeitsbedingungen

We got proper training on how to improve your health conditions at work and reduce risk of work accidents. They made sure to follow the regulations and advised us on keeping an eye out since we are always working on laptops.

Kommunikation

As I mentioned above, Management is quite diplomatic in their answers. They are not transparent at all. I had some issues that I flagged about my manager to people team so we can work on them together. Nothing really happened. I actually asked for help from them because it was getting a bit too micro of a management style. On the other hand, my manager actually responded by complaining about me. The people manager became good friends with my manager and I knew I was talking to a broken record. They took his word over mine and that resulted in my layoff.

Gleichberechtigung

One manager was paid less than the team she managed so she quit. After that, the people team made sure to have a closer look and adjusted pay for those who were poorly treated.

Interessante Aufgaben

All the tasks were just stress on stress on stress. No room to breath and actually get guidance.

Dear former colleague,
Thank you for sharing this so openly.

We're sorry to hear how the restructuring period felt, especially how your manager concerns were handled - feeling like an escalation went nowhere is a serious signal, and it's feedback we take seriously. We've since strengthened our process for handling employee concerns like this.

In the two years since the restructuring in 2024, we've acted on feedback like yours: new formats for transparent company communication, including regular updates on financials, and a new career framework currently rolling out, so growth paths are clear. We know this can't undo what you went through, but it was heard.

We'd welcome a direct conversation if you're ever open to it.

Best,
Juliane

Overall great employer

Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung für dieses Unternehmen in München gearbeitet.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

HR should take a more proactive role, and directors should communicate more openly and ensure clearer role definitions within teams.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

The overall atmosphere is fantastic. I genuinely enjoy going to work and getting to know and collaborate with my colleagues.

Work-Life-Balance

The work-life balance is excellent. While there are occasionally stressful periods, overtime can usually be compensated with flex days. The option to work remotely is also a big plus.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

There’s definitely potential for improvement in terms of professional development and career growth. More structured opportunities for training and advancement would be appreciated.

Gehalt/Benefits

Compensation isn’t top-tier, but it’s fair and well-balanced with the flexibility and work-life benefits.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

What truly makes this place special is the team spirit. Colleagues are incredibly supportive and always willing to help each other. It’s the people who create such a positive and motivating environment.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

That said, leadership could be more responsive. Some directors are difficult to reach, which can become a bottleneck for teams. Others lack transparency. But to be fair, this is something I’ve experienced in many other companies as well.

Kommunikation

Communication, however, can sometimes fall short—especially top-down. The director level is not always transparent. While there are efforts to improve, there’s still room for HR and leadership to step up their game.

Interessante Aufgaben

The work itself is super interesting; cutting-edge AI topics that are both challenging and exciting.

Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung im Bereich Finanzen / Controlling in München gearbeitet.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Jeder Mitarbeiter wir gehört und ernst genommen. Das ist nicht selbstverständlich.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Weiterhin an einer transparenten und klaren Kommunikation arbeiten. Hier und da versuchen klarere Strukturen zu schaffen und auch durchzusetzten.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Ich fühle mich sehr wohl in meinem Team und auch die Zusammenarbeit mit den Kollegen aus den anderen Abteilungen ist sehr gut. Ich persönlich arbeite komplett remote und bin nur sehr selten vor Ort, aber die Kollegen haben es dennoch geschafft mich mit ihrer sehr freundlichen und warmen Art, auch über die Entfernung und am Bildschirm, gut in das Team zu integrieren.

Work-Life-Balance

Ich arbeite remote und kann mir meine Arbeitszeiten recht flexibel einteilen. Das macht es natürlich sehr einfach.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

In einem relativ kleinen Unternehmen sind die Karriere- und Aufstiegschancen immer etwas limitiert. Ich denke aber, dass trotz der nötigen Einsparmaßnahmen in den letzten Monaten, alle die Möglichkeit zur Fort- und Weiterbildung erhalten.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Diese Punkt ist natürlich immer ein wenig vom eigenen Team abhängig, aber ich kann den Zusammenhalt unter den Kollegen nur extrem positiv Bewerten.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Ist natürlich absolut vom eigenen direkten Vorgesetzten abhängig, da hab ich es echt sehr gut getroffen.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Ich bin nur selten vor Ort, aber die Büroräume sind sehr modern und schön. Das Arbeitsmaterial ist ebenfalls immer auf dem aktuellen Stand.

Kommunikation

Die Kommunikation ist in vielen Unternehmen ein kleiner Schwachpunkt. Ich kann hierzu nur sagen, dass es viele Bemühungen gibt die interne Kommunikation stetig zu verbessern. Es gibt regelmäßige Meetings mit Updates zur aktuellen Situation. Und es wird viel und offen über die aktuellen Herausforderungen im Unternehmen gesprochen bzw. an alle Mitarbeiter geschrieben.

Gehalt/Benefits

Wer hier jammert, hat den Bezug zur Realität völlig verloren!

Interessante Aufgaben

Das Unternehmen ist noch jung und sehr viel ist noch im Auf- bzw. Ausbau. Die Aufgaben sind abwechslungsreich und vielseitig. Wir können uns mit unseren eigenen Ideen und Verbesserungsvorschlägen immer sehr gut einbringen, werden gehört und ernst genommen.

Great colleagues, but clueless leadership.The situation speaks for itself

2,7
Nicht empfohlen
Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung für dieses Unternehmen in München gearbeitet.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

The workplace USED to have a great culture, which was a major reason for joining. That changed with the first round of layoffs in July 2024. After the second in November, morale collapsed. Despite the poor attempts, it has not changed, people are leaving.

Image

Do not believe the values listed on the website.

Work-Life-Balance

Work is fully flexible without an enforced remote/on-site ratio, but the pressure to meet unrealistic goals without proper infrastructure drains energy that the employee should be able to save for their personal time. No one in leadership is addressing this, and employees frequently call in sick.

Gehalt/Benefits

It’s good, too good in fact. Inflated compared to the current (compared to the recent years) market

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Colleagues are the only thing holding this place together. But they're leaving.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

If zero stars were an option, that would be the rating. Despite some of them having backgrounds in strategic business consulting, leadership fails at business planning, strategy, and understanding the challenges, threats and actual needs of their own main target market - DACH region.
In a short time, strategies and directions have changed too many times, making it difficult for employees to trust anything they are told.
Their main concerns are keeping shareholders happy and appearing as if they were business-savvy. Yet, one of them insisted on having a team too large for the real project capacity. Another one used the number of hirings within a year as a KPI as if the hirings lived in void, disconnected from real-world work and capacity, and as if the number of employees were a proper reflection of how good a company and its business are. Another is so overwhelmed with teams to supervise and responsibilities that he does quite a poor job.
The CEO is better suited as a brand ambassador rather than the company leader. He should listen more to the voices that deliver a different perspective than his own.

Kommunikation

If I could, I would give zero stars. Management swings between toxic optimism and a catch in their voices when announcing layoffs, acting as if they’re caught off guard and holding back tears. No professional middle ground. It’s hard to understand how some of the directors and the CEO himself can confidently present to clients or broader audiences when they struggle so much to communicate clearly and transparently with their own team.
HR and leadership see themselves as champions of the team, but their messaging is always vague and inconsistent. After the first layoff in July 2024, employees were promised open and transparent discussions with directors to address "tough questions". Yet, only one out of six directors was able to answer questions clearly and without a patronizing tone.
Even the monthly financial update is an example of problematic communication. It’s a mix of barely understandable statements, scattered numbers, and a graphic that lacks meaningful data storytelling and fails to give employees a crystal-clear picture of the company’s financial health.

Dear Colleague,

Thank you for your open and honest feedback. We understand that the past months have been challenging for the entire team. We're sorry to hear that this is how you perceive the current situation. At the same time, we are working hard to improve transparency and communication to build a strong foundation for the future. A key part of our current actions are the deep dive sessions on our strategic framework for 2025, where we actively engage with all teams to discuss our direction and priorities together.

We truly appreciate your contributions. Let’s keep the dialogue open so we can move appliedAI forward together. Therefore we would welcome the chance to discuss your input further in a confidential conversation. If you are interested in having a meeting, please get in touch with me personally or a colleague from the people team (people@appliedai.de).

Best,
Diana

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

There is big openness in the management to listen to the employees and discuss strategy and developments. Culture is based on trust, not on control.
Very smart and supportive colleagues that challenge you and help you grow.
appliedAI has an incredibly strong purpose that is getting even more important in these times.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

The company has struggled in recent months and had to let people go. It seems to me that we are on the right track not only to becoming a financially healthy company, but also to regaining trust and a strong culture. We should stay on this path and not be tempted to follow every new opportunity.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

The company had a difficult year in 2024, which has left its mark in a formerly strong culture.
In my impression the confidence is growing that we will be successful again as a team.

Work-Life-Balance

family duties are respected, flexible working hours, remote or hybrid work possible

Karriere/Weiterbildung

There is a lot to learn on the job. As the company is rather small, there are not so many traditional career opportunities, but there are opportunities to grow in project work or to take up new opportunities in other departments. The training budget is rather small this year.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

strong team with a culture of mutual support

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Always on eye-level and approachable. Managers did their best to give orientation in the last year.

Arbeitsbedingungen

We are flexible in deciding how much we want to work from home, sabbatical and workation options; flexible hours, flexibility in choosing your computer / operating system;
Cool office in the Munich Werksviertel;
Basically the working conditions are based on trust, not on control

Kommunikation

The company is experimenting with different ways to stay in touch. Dialogue, information, quick Slack updates. Regular get-togethers in the office. Every manager / director can be approached easily. open feedback is welcome.

Interessante Aufgaben

For me in a support role, the range of tasks and responsibilities is quite broad so that I can learn and grow in my day-to-day work. You are always welcome to take responsibility and experiment with solutions.

Ex-Werkstudent/inHat bis 2025 im Bereich Forschung / Entwicklung in München gearbeitet.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

When I was at appliedAI, I felt like the working atmosphere is much closer to a big company (in the good ways) rather than a startup. There's a lot of events organized to bring people together, and people are super-friendly in the first place. There's very little friction in talking to anyone and collaborating.

Image

I had only heard good things about appliedAI before joining, and afterwards the reality also matched what I had heard!

Work-Life-Balance

Working hours are super flexible, as is the time off. As a student, I often had to take weeks off for exams, and it was never an issue. The work assigned to me was always planned around my available hours, and it felt nice to have my own time as a priority.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

There's definitely scope for personal development and working on very current topics. However, my personal ambition lies in a different domain.

Gehalt/Benefits

My salary was very competitive, definitely on the higher end for working students. There were plenty of benefits as well, e.g., the wellness pass.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Environmental or ethical concerns were definitely taken into account when deciding the direction of our projects.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Probably the best aspect of appliedAI are the people. It was a joy to work with everyone, and they are super welcoming and really genuine in their interactions.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

We had a mix of young and old. It was very common for working students to get a full-time position once they finished with their studies as well.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

My direct supervisor was a pleasure to work with, and there was no concern about heirarchy between us. We understood each other well and our working styles matched as well.

Arbeitsbedingungen

There was a state-of-the-art office. I mostly worked from home, and I had the latest equipment available to me for work.

Kommunikation

While communication from the leadership team could definitely be better, I have no qualms about communication across the rest of the company. It was always easy for me to reach out to someone, and I never felt unheard despite my position as a working student.

Gleichberechtigung

appliedAI is very inclusive and we had a diverse cast of employees. Everyone was welcome!

Interessante Aufgaben

We had periodic reviews where I would discuss what I'm interested in going forward and what kind of tasks I'd like to take up. It was a great learning experience for me, however my personal ambition lies in a different domain which appliedAI does not work with.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

The atmosphere used to be great however after a bunch of layoffs in 2024, the culture is gone. There is an eery atmosphere in the office with employees seeming like they're merely existing there collecting a paycheck

Image

From what I hear from most people here, nobody even knows what the strategy of the company is, nor the message or purpose. This seems like something AAI has floundered around with for a very long time now.

Work-Life-Balance

The only place where I could say 5/5, as this was one of the best things working here. They respect your work-related wellbeing and allow fulltime remote work for most positions

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Used to be good but due to the large budget cuts it seems like a lot of the further education has been shelved or cancelled entirely.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

I find that colleagues individually are really happy and excited to work together, yet teams are silo'd which creates an 'us vs them' culture. Has become even more apparent after layoffs.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Terrible, especially upper management. Through every difficulty the only people effected were employees. Two rounds of layoffs saw absolutely no changes to those in management unless the individual left themselves. Directors preach of successes and outcomes even after the worst year of the company. Basic questions given to directors during sessions are given incredibly long non-answers which answer pretty much nothing, almost in attempt to avoid the question entirely. During layoff periods majority of the directors seemed to be talking about how well things are going and promises of brighter futures with no real sound of compassion. I only detected some kind of sadness from one director during these periods, the rest seemed very unphased by the fact they had to lay off really good employees.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Great office, great devices and the working space is very modern.

Kommunikation

Has always been a challenge for this company. Solutions are created due to request and even after they have been in effect for months, it seems like half the company doesn't even know about it.

Interessante Aufgaben

so-so, I've worked on some really cool stuff but I must say it is also disappointing as a lot I have worked on seems to be redundant due to so many changes within the company.

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.

Image

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.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

They actually do some interesting projects and many cool people especially on the button line from whom more and more are leaving now.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

It is sad to see a company that used to be one of the best players for AI really early on in the field to see in this state. I think that says more than enough

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Maybe if you promise investors to deliver on three KPIs, more partners, more revenue and more hiring and you fail to deliver on the first two, then it is not a good idea to just keep adding more people to the team. Management 101. Also I believe you should tell the people that the runway is only a couple of months long and you are not able to close any significant projects or hit any other targets than there have to be much more layoffs. It is just fair. One thing is clear you cannot continue how you have been doing.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

There are some very cool and smart people. But the culture used to be much better now I feel everyone is looking only for themselves.

Image

Everyone outside I have been speaking to tells me that they do not really know what appliedAI is doing. Not the best image. Used to be one of the coolest places to do AI when we where small now it has been completely run down by management. Does not really come as a surprise for me.

Work-Life-Balance

This is actually quite okay, as project stuffing is rather low

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

They pretend to be the leader in trustworthy AI. Which is not true. They are not the biggest initiative. There some that are much larger and also doing trustworthy AI.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

I learned a lot there and it was quite good for my career.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Community in the teams can be quite good. But teams seem to work against each other and every team is a bit on their own.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

There is a clear lack of leadership. The C-Level are all introverts who do not really know how to work with people or motivate them and it starts showing. Best example most of the C-Level do not even live closer than 100 miles to work so good luck spotting them in the office.

Kommunikation

Manager said everything is going as planned and that we appliedAI is the biggest initative in Europe. A month later they let people go and I do not understand why they claim to be something they are not. Other initatives are much bigger. how is this even legal?

Gehalt/Benefits

Salary is okay but you will make probably more somewhere else in the same position. Also they burning through money like crazy so not sure how long they can keep going, paying those salaries. They are already laying people off but not enough and the runway does not look very good. If you reed the comments here just ask yourself how likely you it will be that they will get a follow up investment.

Gleichberechtigung

I remember there was one high level employee that left because she figured out that some to levels below her was making more money than her. They have improved this now.

Interessante Aufgaben

If you will get a project than they can be quite interesting but currently with this little projects people are staffed below 60%. No wonder they are loosing money. They have totally inflated the company with investor money

Spannende Strategieprojekte mit C-Level Exposure mit guter Bezahlung für Berufseinsteiger bei wenig Überstunden

4,9
Empfohlen
Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung für dieses Unternehmen in München gearbeitet.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

coole, fähige Leute, spannende Themen

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Dadurch, dass man bei uns schon als Senior (Strategist/Engineer) Projektverantwortung hat, ist der Weg hin zur Führungskraft (Head of...) nicht smooth vorgezeichnet. Hier klarere Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten aufzuzeigen, wäre langfristig sicher hilfreich.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Wir sind komplett frei in der Wahl zwischen Office & Home Office. Ich würde mir ein stärkeren Push des Managements hin zu mehr Officepräsenz aller Mitarbeitenden wünschen.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Im Büro wird viel gelacht, auch in stressigen Phasen ist das Verhalten untereinander immer kollegial

Image

Wir werden von den KI Experten, die uns kennen, als sehr gut eingeschätzt, jedoch könnten wir noch etwas bekannter sein. Und ja, es gibt intern eine Restrukturierung bei der es anfangs ein paar Friktionen gab über die manche Kollegen zu recht nicht erfreut sind, aber diese Friktionen werden aus meiner Sicht gerade gut angegangen.

Work-Life-Balance

Natürlich ist die Arbeitsdichte höher als in anderen Jobs, aber es wird wirklich darauf geachtet, dass man nicht zu viele Überstunden macht. Bei privaten Terminen ist es mir auch möglich schon nachmittags Feierabend zu machen oder völlig frei entscheiden, wann ich Home Office mache oder ins Büro komme.

Gehalt/Benefits

Pro Stunde gerechnet habe ich keine Beratung gefunden, die vor einem Jahr einen besseren Deal angeboten hat. Inzwischen könnten andere vielleicht aufgeholt haben.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Wir fahren auch zu Kunden in der Provinz mit den Öffis, für manche vielleicht auch ein Nachteil

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Wir treffen uns auch außerhalb der Arbeit gerne für gemeinsame sportliche Aktivitäten. Ich glaube das spricht für sich. Auch gibt es - im Gegensatz zu früheren Tätigkeiten - keinen Kollegen/keine Kollegin, mit der ich nicht gerne zusammen arbeiten möchte.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Es wird wirklich Wert darauf gelegt, dass ich mich fachlich und menschlich weiterentwickle. Durch die hohe Termindichte von Vorgesetzten, sind manche Führungskräfte bei Anliegen nicht immer sofort erreichbar, aber wenn ich ein Thema als wichtig pushe, wird dann auch dafür Zeit eingeräumt.

Arbeitsbedingungen

die Büros sind top, insb. im Münchner Office findet sich zum Beispiel eine tolle Kunstsammlung. Es ist echt cool, dass ich jeden Tag Werke von zB Anselm Kiefer bewundern darf oder auf der Dachterasse die Alpen sehen kann.

Kommunikation

Im Meetings wird regelmäßig über den Salesfunnel, Umsätze, Auslastung u.ä. berichtet. Auch bricht meine Führungskraft strategische Entscheidungen immer auf mich herunter und was diese für meine weitere Personalentwicklung bedeutet.

Interessante Aufgaben

Ich spreche regelmäßig mit dem C-Level über strategische Entscheidungen und darf zB bei Ergebnispräsentationen sprechen, obwohl ich die most junior person im Raum bin.
