Bewertungen

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

The generally lovely people at bookingkit

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

* Overly confident, but lacking managerial, strategic and people skills of certain top-level management (which is currently hindering or blocking organisational progress and negatively impacting company culture from top-down)
* "Polite disrespect" as a hidden company value
* Strategic and operational underdevelopment

Verbesserungsvorschläge

* Adhere to modern best practices and regulations
* Create an environment where top-level management is made accountable and performance-based decisions are and decision are transparent in terms of their rationale
* Organisational structure that is less based on personal bias and a lop-sided balance of power towards some top-level management members

Arbeitsatmosphäre

* Generally a team of nice and welcoming people
* Unfortunately, less developed processes of raising valid concerns or conflict resolution
* Regular company events

Image

* Regular concerns among staff about unrealistic vision and strategy - teams not being heard that have to handle market and customer expectations and frustrations due to this gap of expectations
* Also, regular issues over understaffed teams and low salaries - those are being silenced by cherrypicking statistics
* Concerns about the product lacking necessary features and being outdated - being wiped away by management
* Top-level management deems itself rational agents while fostering exceptionalism and in-grouping

Work-Life-Balance

* Implicit imbalance due to managerial expectations being unrealistic and changing due to managerial culture of moving goalposts - leaving the impression that work is never done, no matter how hard you work
* No realistic estimations of workload, "strategic" overload and a lack of organisational prioritisation impacting the work-life-balance negatively
* For the operational teams a common mindset of remote-flexibility for all team members disregards how much those operational teams are forced into less flexibility to provide it for others. Especially top management shows a disregard for imbalances impacting work-life-balance

Karriere/Weiterbildung

* Concerns being raised of "nepotistic" and intransparent decision-making for career development
* No consistent training on the job or systematic development budgets in existence
* A career path model has been introduced, but is disregard for personal favours by top-management

Gehalt/Benefits

* Generally one of the most common issues raised among team members: concerns about salaries being below market-levels (though initiatives for improvements have been made, but drag out)
* Benefits appear mostly underfunded and the demand for modern benefits. No developmental budget in general per team member
* Number of vacation days is sub-par
* Also commonly raised issues are that certain groups may have additional benefits due to personal connections or political power within the company

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

* Not a major topic at bookingkit

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Not an issue at bookingkit

Vorgesetztenverhalten

* Personally not the best role model here myself, but also a company-wide underdeveloped leadership or management training - or even trust in Leaderships' expertise. Mostly middle-management is tasked to manage away frustrations and to keep their own frustrations down
* Unsubstantiated micromanagement by top-level managers -
* Top-level management trust more in external networks and consultancy than in internal knowledge and developing skills internally
* Though constant reminders of not wishing to have politics, this is used to keep in-groups in strong positions not to change and divert frustrations
* General superficially nice, but ultimately condescending practices by some top-level management
* There are teams that developed terms of "company in a company" to describe the imbalance of power that has apparently become a company tradition

Arbeitsbedingungen

* Provides the basic required materials and devices to work
* Still a newly renovated, modern office space that is barely used though by most of the team members, though

Kommunikation

* In general, decisions are being made primarily top-down. Common complaints include that those strategic decisions are detached from business requirements, markets, and professional needs that teams experience in their daily business
* Top-level management shows organisational distrust in other leadership and staff in general and talks down to/micromanages them. Leadership is treated as a mostly operational organ to manage team frustrations. Bottom-up processes are slowed or halted most of the times

Gleichberechtigung

Improved over time, but only a superficially important in the grand scheme of things

Interessante Aufgaben

While topics and tasks could be interesting per se, they are too many and only can be handled in an unfocused fashion - there appears to be a mindset of doing things cheap rather than right or sustainably. Ultimately costing more in terms of time, efficiency, operational integrity, development and personal health.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

I really enjoy the working environment and my team! The projects are interesting and there is never a boring day!

Verbesserungsvorschläge

The communication and project management between teams could be improved, and the office space is limited so with a growing team it can get a bit hectic! However I know steps are being made to improve both of these areas, so the feedback is shared.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Everyone is kind, helpful and passionate about the product and our industry

Work-Life-Balance

bookingkit offers you flexibility that really makes balancing work and free time very easy! And they sponsor some fun activities that make for a nice overlap!

Karriere/Weiterbildung

There are many opportunities for self-advancement.

Gehalt/Benefits

The company offers careers and advancement programs, not just "jobs"!

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Vorgesetztenverhalten

I have been met with utmost professionalism and respect.

Kommunikation

As with any growing startup, communication between teams can sometimes be difficult, but it is dealt with brilliantly by the management.

Interessante Aufgaben

Every day I am met with interesting and inspiring projects!

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

- offen und transparent
- Kollegenzusammenhalt
- Team-Spirit
- Geschäftsführung nicht top-down, sondern auf Augenhöhe

Verbesserungsvorschläge

- typische kleine Kinderkrankheiten ausmerzen ;)

Work-Life-Balance

Trotz Startup, keine 10-12h Tage.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Offene Kommunikation, konstruktive Kritik, klare Visionen und Anweisungen.

Kommunikation

Transparente, offene, direkte Kommunikation zwischen Mitarbeitern und Vorgesetzten.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Die Kollegen sind super.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Die Entwicklung in den letzten Monaten. Viel Versprechungen, nix dahinter.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Mal was verändern und nicht nur drum herumreden.

Auf dem Weg in den Keller, wenn es so weiter geht

Work-Life-Balance

Was bitte??! Flexible Arbeitszeiten wurden mal angekünddigt, gibts aber nicht für alle.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Hängt von den Leuten ab. Von oben wird da nix gewollt

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Wohl eher nicht

Vorgesetztenverhalten

War schon mal besser. Teilweise Totalausfall!!

Arbeitsbedingungen

Ist ok. Ausstattung auch

Kommunikation

Transparenz? Es wird gelogen, das die Balken biegen

Gleichberechtigung

Hier arbeiten kaum Frauen

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Schönes Büro, Kollegen sind die besten

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Work life balance existiert quasi nicht, Überstunden werden gut und gerne gesehen, Freiheiten gibt es keine, keine Wertschätzung des einzelnen Mitarbeiters, Mitarbeiter werden bis zur letzten Kraft ausgenutzt. Übrigens keiner der hier genannten benefits treffen zu.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Mehr auf wünsche der Arbeitnehmer eingehen. Menschlicher denken und nicht nur über Profit definieren. Wirkliche Werte überlegen und diese auch leben. Lieber keine Werte definieren wenn sie nicht mal ansatzweise von Vorgesetzen gelebt werden. Ehrlichere Kommunikation

Work-Life-Balance

Keine Flexibilität
