On a positive note, some people in the company are very interested in making Babbel a better employer. At Babbel, at least at the moment, you have a relaxed job and a lot of freedom.
What's currently nice and easy going will change in the future because the company is unfortunately going downhill, not least because of the lack of technical innovations, bad leadership and skilled people leaving the company.
Increasingly American, a lot of blah but without much behind it. Unfortunately, there is also increasingly more toxic positivity and empty promises, but still a really good employer, compared to other companies, where everyone can feel comfortable and safe, even if they are not cis-white.
It's okay. Some people will talk positively, some negatively, depending on their position and experience.
Perfect, you can have a 20h week while having a full time contract ;)
Expect to not have a career. The company is cutting costs.
The salary isn't competitive at all. It's okay to have a lower salary when the company provides lot's of potential to grow within, learn and have a chill life, but it's not the case (anymore).
It's okay, but still better than other companies.
Many colleagues have mentally resigned/quietly quitted and are sick more often than they work. Little to no motivation to get involved or tackle new challenges.
Great, nothing to add here.
Leadership is not really qualified. There are a few who have a lot on their plate, the rest just talk. More and more decisions are being made that have a strategically negative impact on the company and the culture.
Great, nothing to add here. You can work from everywhere in Germany, or up to 3 month remotely in the EU.
As in many companies, communication here is unfortunately weak, very American (there is a lot of beating around the bush) and few clear statements. Plus, everything is constantly changing.
Honestly a great employer when it comes to equality.
Don't expect to work on interesting topics. Innovation is completely missing in many areas, strategies are outdated and new ideas are rejected by leadership because they are often not even understood.
Remote work options in Germany only
Low pay compared to companies of same size
0% salary increases during inflation times
Salaries for every employee, as well as all salary grids should be automatically adjusted for inflation. Every employee irrespective of income should get a subsidized public transport ticket (as the company advertises this as benefit).
No public transport tickets for all employees. Discrimination of public transport benefits based on salary.
Remote work
Flexible Hours
Not much stress
No growth
Bad team leaders
Train your team leaders to be real leaders!!!!
Remote work or in the office
Without empathy and care
A lot of meetings for nothing, just wasting time
Just boring stuff, no challenges at all
Gibt es so gut wie keine
I got fired 5 months 1/2 within my probation period 2 days before Christmas, based on feedback that was discriminatory and contained straight-up lies. Before getting let go I reached out the works council and DEI to get help managing the situation with my manager. They had one conversation with my manager without me in it and did not follow up on anything afterwards. You have no idea how traumatizing this whole experience was for me.
Invest in your infrastructure, you have over 1000 employees! Make DEI trainings compulsory for everyone and hold everyone accountable to the same standards. Also train your line managers! None of them is even remotely fit to lead people, this is on you!
People don't know how to work in the hybrid setup Babbel has in place or how to work efficiently as Babbel has zero infrastructure and offers zero guidance on how to collaborate. I felt pressured by my manager to go into the office and attend pointless meeting after pointless meeting simply because he did not know how to do otherwise. Most people at Babbel are very nice though.
Babbel has good DEI PR but is very performative.
I mean, sure, it's fine.
Babbel is a vegetarian company which I find very good on paper. However it is not strictly enforced and I've seen teams still ordering meals with meat on Babbel's dime so what's the point.
When I was there my manager was still building the career paths for our team so who knows, maybe it's good now. But at the time I really didn't have the visibility over what's possible for me at Babbel.
I guess there's worse.
Babbel is very chaotic, processes are non-existent and docs are all over the place; most people don't know where to find things or what exists. DEI trainings are not mandatory which creates a situation where everyone has different standards of what behavior is acceptable or not and no one is being held accountable for anything.
I feel like Babbel looks good on paper but is in reality not very generous with their employees. During my time there they readjusted salaries without really saying against what metrics and did not want to release their salary grids so it really makes you wonder what kind of salary gaps exist between employees. Limiting the BVG pass coverage to people living more than 5km away from the office is also very ableist.
I hadn't seen such overtly sexist behaviour in a while. Female and non-binary employees are definitely held to a different standard than men at Babbel in terms of behavior. Mind you, I'm neurodivergent on top of being non-binary and got double-bullied for it.
I did get to learn a lot at Babbel, the product is very interesting and the company has a proper UX culture.
Als ich anfing, waren meine Kollegen und die Leitung in Berlin wunderbar. Es herrschte eine ausgezeichnete Stimmung, ein unterstützendes Umfeld, und jeder ging von guten Absichten aus und achtete auf den anderen. Dann wurde eine neue Leitung eingestellt. Die Kultur änderte sich. Die guten Aspekte der Arbeit dort begannen langsam zu verblassen, als ich das Unternehmen verließ.
Es ist schon ironisch, dass Babbel sich über einen Mangel an Talenten in Deutschland beklagt, aber gleichzeitig Leute ohne Erklärung entlässt, selbst wenn sie zugeben, dass der Mitarbeiter nichts falsch gemacht hat. Während meiner Zeit bei Babbel wurden viele Leute auf diese Weise entlassen. Wenn das Geld im Unternehmen knapp ist, wird man Sie ohne zu zögern entlassen.
Beschweren Sie sich nicht darüber, dass Sie in Deutschland keine Talente finden können, und entlassen Sie dann Leute, die gute Leistungen erbracht haben, was von allen, die mit ihnen gearbeitet haben, bestätigt wurde. Die jüngste Entlassungsrunde betraf talentierte Mitarbeiter, die viel für das Unternehmen geleistet haben. Wenn es Ihnen wirklich darum ginge, gute Talente zu halten, hätte das Unternehmen mehr Rücksicht auf all die Menschen genommen, die so unvermittelt und ohne Erklärung entlassen wurden.
Viel weniger Lohn als der Branchendurchschnitt.
Unübersichtliche und inkonsistente Kommunikation seitens der Führung. Nicht aufeinander abgestimmt. Verwirrend.
Please, take the Work Council and People&Organisation complaints seriously. Also Peakon comments.
In product leadership, especially in Growth and B2B, the culture of leadership is toxic and excluding. There have been multiple complaints, but instead of reacting, C-Suite is not taking action and let the good experts leave the company.
Please, react and speak up for your values.
Everyone below Head of positions are very supportive.
Almost not present.
Flexible working hours, helpful colleagues, the product.
The product has to be improved faster
Enhance the upper management communication and most importantly be honest about the strategy and the decisions
Flexible working hours, no micro management
One has to wait a lot to get a promotion
Below German average
It's a vegetarian company.
The best thing about Babbel is its people.
Not enough room in the office for everyone, it can get very crowded and impossible to work. So one has to do homeoffice often. Office managers do good job and take care of everything.
Communication in the direct team is great. The general communication, when it comes to important company-wide decisions, is very bad.
learning budget of 400 a year
one is blatantly told that the company will never offer high salaries
when it saves costs for the company
out dated work equipment
Flexible Arbeitszeiten, Benefits/Rabatte (z.B. vergünstigte Urban Sports Club Mitgliedschaft), BVG Karte oder Bike, etc.
Keine negativen Aspekte.
Entspannte Arbeitsatmosphäre mit netten Kollegen.
Durch die flexiblen Arbeitszeiten können z.B. Familien mehr Zeit für ihre Kinder investieren oder für das gesundheitliche Wohlbefinden nutzen. Vollständig remote Arbeit (deutschlandweit) - darüber hinaus kann sogar bis zu 3 Monate remote aus ganz Europa gearbeitet werden.
Es steht jedem Mitarbeiter eine Weiterbildungspauschale zu (Höhe je nach Firmenzugehörigkeit).
Sehr gutes Gehalt für die Design-Branche.
Es wird auf z.B. nachhaltiges Drucken geachtet. Und sich auch für soziale Projekte eingesetzt.
Tolles Büro mit flexiblen Arbeitsplätzen. Apple-Arbeitslaptop im Bereich Design mit allen nötigen (technischen) Ausstattungen, die man sich wünschen kann.
Ergebnisse und sonstige Entwicklungen oder Veränderungen werden in wöchentlichen Meetings für alle Mitarbeiter zugänglich gemacht.
Alle Kulturen sind willkommen!
So verdient kununu Geld.
