They actually do some interesting projects and many cool people especially on the button line from whom more and more are leaving now.
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
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.
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.
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.
This is actually quite okay, as project stuffing is rather low
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.
I learned a lot there and it was quite good for my career.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
coole, fähige Leute, spannende Themen
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.
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.
Im Büro wird viel gelacht, auch in stressigen Phasen ist das Verhalten untereinander immer kollegial
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.
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.
Pro Stunde gerechnet habe ich keine Beratung gefunden, die vor einem Jahr einen besseren Deal angeboten hat. Inzwischen könnten andere vielleicht aufgeholt haben.
Wir fahren auch zu Kunden in der Provinz mit den Öffis, für manche vielleicht auch ein Nachteil
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
So far, amazing colleagues in project teams, previously interesting projects and collaborations. I doubt that many good colleagues will stay though.
Lack of transparency in decisions, lack of integrity in upper management. Awful communication in official meetings. Incompetent handling of projects and strategic topics. Incompetent estimation of the market that lead to overly rapid growth and then to subsequent firings. Personal vendettas. HR is sometimes outright lying.
Change upper management, refocus the vision, hire competent leaders. And try doing that very quickly, before all colleagues with integrity and options have left (might already be too late). I guess that's a suggestion rather to the board than to the current managers, who won't remove themselves.
Don't set growth in numbers as a goal in itself, especially if it doesn't increase revenue.
The bad communication, poor decision making by managers and completely lost focus created a hostile atmosphere
The employees and colleagues are amazing, in stark contrast to upper management
No older colleagues, team is generally rather young
See comments above about management. Sometimes their actions feel like personal vendettas, almost never the actions are transparent or understandable
Good office and work-life balance
Top down, constructive criticism largely gets ignored, important problems are often not addressed at all until it's too late
The salary is rather good
So far yes, for me at least, but I doubt interesting projects will reappear

Great colleagues, nice building, great mission.
They severely need proper leadership that can execute the mission. Not sure how the Schwarz group can fund this group without doing proper due diligence.
Please hire competent leaders that can understand, navigate, and deliver complex deliverables. You need open-minded and inspiring leaders, not rule-followers who do not motivate others.

Interesting projects, dynamic environment, great colleagues and great work-life balance
Sometimes expectations of how things will work in the future are too optimistic and can be unrealistic. It can then be a disappointment when things don't go that way, which happens from time to time
Try to find a good office space solution that allows further growing together. Also, we could have more team activities.
I feel like the overall atmosphere is based on mutual respect, my colleagues are highly motivated and qualified
One can very freely decide when and how to work (within some reasonable limits, of course). Fully remote work is possible.
The colleagues I have worked with always felt like team-players
Always respectful, usually quick in responding and addressing problems
The office space is getting a bit tight and the future prospects of being split across two locations are not too much to my liking, but overall the conditions are good
Can be a bit chaotic and from time to time untransparent but not on purpose. I guess some communication problems are unavoidable in a very dynamic environment
Based on market ranges, aimed to be in the upper quartile
We have rather many female colleagues for a tech company, which is great. Being part of a majority, I am not in the best position to judge, but I have seen that the company takes this topic very seriously.
Definitely! This is the main reason why I like to work here
