Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Some colleagues are nice.

Everything.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

There is basically no atmosphere. Management separate theirselves from the rest and their opinion is the truth. That's the base of the entire atmosphere. If you're not a data or engineering specialist, they do not appreciate your effort as you do not add value to the product. The turnover rate is very high which also indicates a problematic atmosphere.

Work-Life-Balance

It's your decision: working for Buynomics and no life or not working for Buynomics and having a work-life-balance.
Working hours of 60h/week and more are usual and they expect it. Even when you flag the workload nothing will change. You will also realise people working when they are on sick leave, on vacation, at weekends... is that legally compliant in Germany/Spain? Anyways, it's unhealthy and puts pressure on all employees.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Career starts with an onboarding. There is none. There is a general/organisational onboarding but no professional by your team/leader.
They have a development budget but it's not enough for reasonable courses. None of their leaders has ever learned being a people lead. How are they supposed to develop their team members? You might end up having a leader who has no clue about your job, so you will probably not have a mentor.
Being a people pleaser helps a lot in this company.

Gehalt/Benefits

Other companies, also startups, pay ~40% more. They offer almost no benefits. They try to catch you with shares and a steep learning curve which is ridiciulous in times of high inflation.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Their hire & fire culture is unbelievable. They hire from abroad and relocate to fire at the end of probation. Also, they fire because of underperformance. But how should you perform when nobody onboards you adequately? Even after probation, they find ways to let people go.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

The only "older" employee left. There's basically no diversity in this regard.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

The management are kings and queens in their kingdom. They try to pretend being leaders but in crucial situations when a real leader is needed, they fail.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Everything needs to be done asap does not matter how and how much capacity you have.

Kommunikation

Depending on the team, it is better or worse. In general, their is room for improvement.

Gleichberechtigung

Women do not have the same career opportunities as men. Sick people are judged. Salaries are a big secret, so probably also financial discrimination. People pleaser have career opportunities.

Interessante Aufgaben

The only positive thing.

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.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

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.
