Once promising, but values and culture have declined in last 2 years, consider alternatives for good work life balance
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Great product with strong features, and with equal input from all employees, there is significant potential for further improvement.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
High workloads, unrealistic timelines, perceived favouritism, unclear communication, and a decline in work culture have made the working environment challenging.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Reinstate the founders’ original vision, treat all employees with equal respect, eliminate perceived favouritism, and avoid gifts or events that create the impression of preferential treatment or are used to gain advantage.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Although colleagues are supportive, high workloads, shifting priorities, and perceived favouritism have made the atmosphere tense and stressful.
Image
Employee morale has declined in recent 2 years, especially after the shift to a four-day week, despite repeated assurances in all-hands meetings, and unplanned expenses on company trips have added to frustration.
Work-Life-Balance
Although long hours are somewhat expected in a startup, leadership does not account for them when planning, and consistently working well beyond contracted hours without proper compensation made work–life balance very difficult.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
I often felt uncertain about the reliability of information shared, which made it difficult to trust leadership communications.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Initially, the founders led with respect and the company had a positive work culture, but the new addition to the leadership has shifted focus to delivering at any cost, creating unrealistic timelines, contributing to burnout, and introducing a negative, informal work culture, alongside perceived favouritism.
Kommunikation
Management often communicates decisions unclearly, and employee input does not always seem to be acted upon.
Gehalt/Benefits
The salary is generally fair and in line with industry standards, but pay rises are infrequent, and ‘dry promotions’. Where more work is expected without additional compensation have become the new normal.
