I really like and benefit from the flexibility of my working hours. I manage them in accordance with my manager and always have the opportunity to take time for all priorities. The deadlines are set very well and no pressure. Also, I do like the variety of topics I am included and they way how everyone communicates with one another. It is very valuable for me that my work is rewarded and seen from others.
Individuals should talk more but this is very personal and not affected by the company rather than the people themselves.
Regrettably, I cannot offer any positive remarks about Buynomics. My experience with the company was profoundly unpleasant, and I sincerely hope to avoid such an encounter in the future.
I would like to recommend that the management critically assess their own qualifications and ability to lead teams. If they find themselves lacking in competence, it would be prudent for the company to seek more experienced leaders.
My team is graced by the presence of a leader whose remarkable talents lie not in team enablement, but in the art of liberating bonuses from their rightful owners – a true virtuoso in the realm of incompetence!
The company is striving to establish itself as a cutting-edge solution provider. However, a challenge arises in the form of limited transparency regarding the methodology underlying their so called machine learning solution, which can impede the product's marketability.
Apparently, one must relish the privilege of toiling away for a mere 12 hours just to manage their workload.
In their admirable script for employee termination, they kindly inquire about your future career aspirations. Then, with a level of strategic brilliance that leaves one in awe, they employ these very goals as a catalyst for your departure. Their approach often involves the eloquent phrase, "Because we're unable to support your career goals, we cordially encourage you to explore opportunities elsewhere."
An intriguing phenomenon unfolded within the company: the art of monumental salary disparities, despite sharing identical roles and tasks with colleagues. Astonishingly, the chasm in compensation could reach a jaw-dropping 35-45%, a true testament to the mysteries of corporate remuneration logic!
It is evident that they have not yet implemented any CSR.
Their remarkable "asset" seems to be the intricate web of office politics! A true marvel to behold, as management skillfully averts their gaze when confronted with any pesky conflicts or disputes.
Collaborative projects with colleagues can sometimes become quite complex, marked by frequent instances of miscommunication and a tendency to attribute mistakes to one another, which seems to be a recurrent issue within the company.
The management's approach, marked by a perceived sense of superiority, has created an environment where employees feel undervalued and disrespected. Additionally, there is a notable reluctance to entertain constructive criticism.
The working conditions could only be described as sublimely dreadful, marked by an astonishingly equal-opportunity discrimination among all employees. In a stroke of unmatched brilliance, they recruited individuals from abroad who graced the office with their presence once every 5-6 months. Astonishingly, I found myself being held accountable for the egregious sin of not attending the office thrice a week, while my manager, in his unparalleled dedication, opted to toil remotely and visited the office on the occasional whim of every 2-3 months.
The utilization of a derogatory tone coupled with an air of superiority is quite common.
Gender diversity within the company is notably low, with predominantly male leadership, which may sometimes lead to an experience of diminished significance.
The tasks assigned to me were nothing short of exhilarating in their monotonous nature. Quite the revelation to find myself handling responsibilities that one might have assumed were meant for my manager!
- Beautiful office in the heart of Cologne (Friesenplatz) and Barcelona
- Development Budget
- Events!
Working at Buynomics definitely is not for everyone. Its intense, its high paced, its challenging, its comes with a lot of ownership and responsibility early on and a strive for excellence I have hardly seen anywhere else. If you are up for the ride, being part of creating something new, revolutionary for the customers while building this team and the company can be very very rewarding.
Customers and Investors value Buynomics' innovative solution highly!
As said above, its an early stage startup, its not a German DAX reinsurer. If you want 9 to 5 and monotony, I would recommend looking elsewhere :)
LOVE the team, the colleagues and the way we support each other.
Everybody is trying their best to accommodate to the teams needs and make sure, that appreciation is passed on. Like in most fast growth environments, some of the management are first time managers but the company makes sure to support them with training and mentors.
Communication can always be improved, but there is monthly All Hands, in which success stories are shared, challenges are publicly discussed and team members present their projects.
Being part of building an early stage start up always comes with wearing a lot of heads! Its interesting and challenging!
Some colleagues are nice.
Everything.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
People shooting eachother is not uncommon.
The only "older" employee left. There's basically no diversity in this regard.
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.
Everything needs to be done asap does not matter how and how much capacity you have.
Depending on the team, it is better or worse. In general, their is room for improvement.
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.
The only positive thing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I often felt that my colleagues did not value my input. I made some valuable suggestions that I felt were ignored.
My impression is that they follow a trend to hire young people. Some managers are also quite young and, in some cases, lack experience.
To my taste, the management was too much top-down.
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.
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.
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.
In some teams, there are massive pay gaps. Moreover, employees with certain backgrounds experienced issues in their everyday life.
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.
There is very little room for innovation or mistakes. Management likes to do things a certain way and all you can do is follow.
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.
Most co-workers are friendly
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.
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.
The tasks are monotonous and you are often asked to do things outside the scope of your job description.
