Management doesn't agree making a very chaotic environment
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The best part was my colleagues. Outside of management, the people were warm, welcoming and kind. They really support each other and care for one another.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Not as much career advancement or further education as what I have experienced at other companies in Berlin.
Gehalt/Benefits
Low salary compared to other companies with a similar title/role. They seemed to exploit people who cared about education and language learning and paid them less than industry standard.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
There was very little acknowledgement from management for the sacrifices employees made to work for Babbel. I observed many people moving across the world to work at this company and treated like a piece of paper that can be disgarded at any time. Very strong lack of hummanity from the upper levels.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
My supervisor was one of the main instigators for passive agressive behavoir and consistently blamed other teams for issues. They rarely took accountability. A good leader brings calm and focus, this manager stirred the pot, which created a lot of unnecessary anxiety.
Arbeitsbedingungen
One of the things that made work almost impossible in the summer was there was no air conditioning and it was too hot to focus. The entire office is built with windows and no blinds, so there was no escape from the extreme heat.
Kommunikation
Communication was handled poorly almost all of the time. Passive aggressive communication and infighting was the norm. Either bully other teams and throw them under the bus, or your team might go down too. A lot of fear which bred nasty behavior. Very unprofessional.
