Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Excellent flexible hybrid model. Technically, you have full flexibility when you come into the office. There were free coffee and free snacks available. Tech teams also got good IT devices. Since English is the company language, the staff is quite international, making the workplace interesting and enjoyable. Employees are generally well-integrated into their teams.

Chance to visit the Cologne office if you work in Spain and vice versa. Local contracts/conditions for each offices though.

A lot ...

Relatively high turnover, which can create an uncomfortable vibe. We saw many employees leave (often before the end of their six-month probationary period). Communication about these people’s departure was very intransparent, which was also worrying. The high turnover could potentially be avoided: a) they may want to provide more guidance during the onboarding process, unless you are really someone who can “hit the ground running” (bc managers are too busy and too stressed to follow new employees’ work closely); b) clearer job descriptions and job expectations; yes, even in a startup where you need to be flexible. Postgrads’ experience is a mixed bag: while some do well even though they are not very experienced, in many cases, they experience problems. Probably you will have a better experience and more impact if you already have some professional experience.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

It felt like the company’s mission more and more got lost while the workload and pressure increased massively over time. Moreover, there was a general fear to layoffs due to the high turnover.

Work-Life-Balance

This place has a work hard/work hard culture, with little time for play. Lots of pressure.

Of course this depends on your relationship with your particular manager, but it can be difficult to work here if you are looking for a family-friendly environment.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

They unfortunately do not have the resources to train their staff. The onboarding is kept quite limited as well. There is a personal development budget but it is relatively modest.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

My impression is that they follow a trend to hire young people. Some managers are also quite young and, in some cases, lack experience.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

To my taste, the management was too much top-down.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Modern office and pleasant hybrid culture. Yet, there were not enough meeting rooms/phone booths for the amount of staff. As a result, many people had phone conferences at their desk which often made it hard for me to focus.

Kommunikation

They make an effort to communicate company matters to the staff. Yet, some important details were regularly left out. Also, open communication/sharing individual feedback is not desired by the leadership board as long as it differs from their point of view.

Gehalt/Benefits

If you have a tech position, you tend to have a competitive salary. In non-tech teams this is not guaranteed. Moreover, there are huge pay gaps within teams. The perks could be better as well; e.g. the personal development budget is relatively modest.

Gleichberechtigung

In some teams, there are massive pay gaps. Moreover, employees with certain backgrounds experienced issues in their everyday life.

Interessante Aufgaben

It happened relatively frequently that I was working on previously agreed projects, which then were stopped. Instead, some, at least in my view, suboptimal solutions were prioritized, which on top of that resulted in monotonous tasks.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

There is very little room for innovation or mistakes. Management likes to do things a certain way and all you can do is follow.

Work-Life-Balance

There is no work-life balance. If you want to make an impact you have to work more than 10 hours a day. You are given tasks to complete with a deadline and if you don't stay longer you don't finish the tasks. There is no additional pay for extra hours either. Longer stays are encouraged by the higher management although never demanded.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Vorgesetztenverhalten

There is hugr hierarchy within the departments. Opinions are not valued or appreciated. If you have conflicting opinions with the management, they will find a way to let you go.

Kommunikation

Management likes to use a very demeaning tone when you make mistakes or they don't agree with you on a specific matter. If you use the same tone and talk back, you will be called out on. Feedbacks are not at all constructive but rather demotivating.

Interessante Aufgaben

The tasks are monotonous and you are often asked to do things outside the scope of your job description.
