Good company culture, interesting product & productive work environment
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Again, one of the things I like the most about this company are the colleagues and the company culture, which is just really healthy. The other thing I like a lot is that I have a lot of freedom to take own decisions and bring in my expertise.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Well it's an "disadvantage" that comes with the freedom of a small company I guess, but for some specific topics, I just have no guidance or learning possibilities from a senior, because the knowledge is not within the company. On the other hand learning by doing and trying out is not the worst thing and definitely possible there. Also I think, that in general there are some departments who could need some more employees to take out some pressure for the colleagues and help delivering new features faster.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
I don't know, I think they are doing pretty well. I just hope growing plans go as predicted & we can get more resources to move quicker with our projects.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
One of the best work environments I worked in so far. Everyone is respectful, very constructive and just enjoyable to work with.
Kommunikation
Communication works well, with colleagues but also with superiors. As well for general projects and day-to-day work as for individual matters.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
In my team, people work together and collaborate where they can to move forward, even if we have sometimes very different responsabilities. Same goes for collaboration with other teams. In general, I think the positiveness and openess of colleagues in this company are one of its biggest strengths.
Work-Life-Balance
I think this depends a little bit on in which department you work. There are some areas where there is more direct necessity to deliver or secure processes and there are some areas, where you can organize your time more freely. I personally feel I have a good work-life-balance (I do not work in those areas).
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Very good. Very clear about expectations, always open to suggestions, listening to employees and just very approachable as persons.
Interessante Aufgaben
Since it is a startup in a growing phase, there are always a lot of different and new topics to be covered (but not in a chaotic way, it always makes sense). Also to me the telephony sector is just an interesting sector to work in with a lot of new customers and use-cases to discover (worked always in e-commerce before). It's a complex product but that makes it even more fun to work on. Also in a lot of cases, there is the freedom to choose yourself new topics and investigate, it's not like in a big company where everything is solely decided top-down and you just follow.
Gleichberechtigung
It's a company with a lot of people from very different countries and I think precisely because of that, they are even more careful to create a healthy and respectful work environment. I never experienced or observed any inequalities in regards of gender or origin since I worked there.
Arbeitsbedingungen
This depends a bit on how and where you live, since most of colleagues work remotely. Technology-wise, they do what they can to equip you best at home. If you're in Berlin, they are located in a very nice co-working space.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
I would say it is good, but it also depends a little bit on from where you work. If you're located in Germany you can have a contract as an employee and I suppose it is quite good regarding social security etc. If you work remotely, it depends a little bit on the laws of your country regarding freelancers. They try to offer fixed contracts through third-parties but it's not always a clear advantage depending on where you live. What I can say is that they try their best to always be as fair as possible, stick to German standards even for freelancers from other countries where they can (good holiday policy for instance) & make things possible if they can.

I think my colleagues talk positively about our company and I think it's quite representative. At least I do.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Difficult to say. From within the company, I'd say you just gain a lot of experience because you have to figure a lot of things out on your own and investigate by your own. But I think there are no concrete internal training programs in place. Still, if I search by myself for external training opportunities, they will try to make it possible if it's in the budget (just doing an online-course right now). But it's more on your own initiative.
