I had a really good time working for Compado

Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat bis 2023 im Bereich Marketing / Produktmanagement gearbeitet.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Actual remote setup and good atmosphere, employees are trusted, I worked very productive and still had fun with colleagues and leads from different teams. After hard times in 2023 the motivation is high and before I left I noticed that Compado is working on new technology projects. In general I experienced Compado as an innovative company that invested boldly as well

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

I guess nobody liked the layoffs in 2023 but I dont if this was foreseeable or could have been solved differently. Markets have changed a lot in the past years with all the uncertainty, still it came somehow out of the blue for most employees I guess.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

I read posts about Compado critizising they focus on profits. Profitablity is a focus. Obviously, this is an important one to be able to run a company in the long run and therefore also secure peoples jobs, especially in these times. So probably not every employee has a basic understanding of business and numbers, maybe try communicate the connection between profits and jobs more clearly but also make transparent what every team can do in order to contribute as not everyone has a direct influence on profits.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Working atmosphere was very good compared to my previous jobs. Although economic times are tough for many companies, employees were trusted and not pressured or micromanaged.

Work-Life-Balance

Super great, actually the only company that I know that is REALLY 100% remote (whereas most companies advertise and still want you to come to the office regularily)

Karriere/Weiterbildung

I decided to move on after a few years, because at some point I had the feeling that I cannot learn much more in this company. Obviously, not everyone wants to or can become a lead either, no company can have only leads :)

Gehalt/Sozialleistungen

I had a good salary also had a raise when I took over additional tasks and responsibilities after a year. I didnt talk much wich colleagues about salaries but from what I have heard, everyone seems to be quite satisfied. No matter which company you work for, you can always find another company that pays a little more salary or bonus. For me its an important part but there are also other things to consider like the remote setup, trust and freedom to schedule your work independantly, team atmosphere etc.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Kind of a bad mood among some employees/teams due to layoffs in 2023 what i can totally understand. But I also experienced (and was very impressed by that) very motivated colleagues with the right drive to move on and excel

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

I think the people working at Compado are in their twenties, thirties and fourties but I am not relaly sure about that. Several people that started working with the companie when it was founded are still there.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Probably depends on the team you are in, I had a good lead and also worked with other team leads and senior leaders. From my experience people (employees and leads) are experts in their fields and mostly very nice and helpful

Kommunikation

Communication was always good within my team and with team members from other teams that I was usually working with. Remote setup though brings challenges in terms of socialising and personal communication.

Gleichberechtigung

Never experienced any discrimination for age, nationality, sexual orientation, etc. in Compado you can find people from around the world

Interessante Aufgaben

Probably also depends on the team. I was working with the worlds most known consumer brands and learned a lot during my time at Compado.

Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr im Bereich IT gearbeitet.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

working remotely.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

being fired despite having good feedback. having a micromanaging superior create a tense and uncomfortable working atmosphere, while being fully and unconditionally backed by the management.

low pay

boring, unscalable product.

management being focused on short term profits.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

hold yourself accountable to the feedback you give employees. don't tolerate micromanaging and borderline bullying by your mid managers.

there is a reason why compado is known amongst berlin based labour lawyers.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

the only good thing is the opportunity to work remotely. apart from that i experienced micromanagement and borderline bullying by my superior

Image

they are a b2b company, so they don't have much of a public reputation.

Work-Life-Balance

3 stars for the fact that you can actually and almost unconditionally work remotely.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

the company isn't well known, so careerwise, it won't stick out on your CV.

Gehalt/Sozialleistungen

pay was definitely below average. they try to distract from it by endlessly emphasising the remote work opportunities, when logically, the lack of a massive office, should save money, which then could be used to pay people fairly.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

i was not aware of any initiatives in that regard.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

my colleagues were mostly friendly, but when i asked some to create a betriebsrat (employee council) to have better protection against illegitimate termination, none of them were willing to join, basically acting against their own best interest. who knows, maybe they feared possible consequences?

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

there weren't any elderly colleagues, which either means that they don't hire older people or that older people aren't interested in working for them.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

terrible. i can only speak about my own experience with my superior, but it was very difficult to borderline impossible to work with someone, who took any sort of feedback or suggestion as a personal attack. at some point instead of voicing ideas to improve something or do something differently, you just bite your tongue and walk on eggshells, because you would anticipate it to not be received well. also, their almost obsessive need to impress top management was very off putting and made life difficult for me as every piece of work i produced was unnecessarily double and triple checked. in the end, at least in my view, i was terminated not for my performance but because of personal issues caused by my superior and this was fully backed by management.

Arbeitsbedingungen

they provide decent equipment to work remotely.

Kommunikation

their entire feedback system is an intransparent charade. it is totally inconsistent and non-binding. despite me receiving good feedback in my last feedback conversation, i ended up being fired weeks later.

Interessante Aufgaben

no. it is a boring, unscalable product.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Trust in the employees and the level of the people working there. I had the experience, everybody was super nice and competent...
I have to say you also see low performers leaving quite quickly or that rather probation periods are often not prolonged...

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

not much to say here

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Seeing each other could be a bit more often

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Nice atmosphere

Image

read other reviews, mainly from former colleagues where I need to disagree on a lot of points

Work-Life-Balance

No extra hours needed

Karriere/Weiterbildung

You need to proactively ask for conferences/courses (beside language) but never saw sth got denied

Gehalt/Sozialleistungen

It is still a start-up but fair payment

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Carbon positive

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Very nice group of people, not only in my team

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

nothing negative to say here

Vorgesetztenverhalten

If you like to be micromanged, this is not the place... You get a lot of trust in advance and need to manage your on taks

Arbeitsbedingungen

you get a work from home set-up

Kommunikation

Due to the fully remote set-up, here and there some details fall of the table

yes, also mainly up to yourself what you make out of it

Hat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr im Bereich Marketing / Produktmanagement gearbeitet.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

The flexibility to work remote and decent colleagues to work with.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

The bad communication among certain teams, poor leadership skills of some leaders, and the lack of clear objectives can be some blockers to work there.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Review the quality of the leadership. Some leaders simply don't have the soft skills and empathy to manage a team.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Nice work colleages overall, most of them with good behaviour and willing to help, but really depends on the team you are on.

Image

There is an overall good image of working remote combined with lifestyle. The product itself can be highly improved.

Work-Life-Balance

Good to have flexible work hours and work from any country, although not asynchronous work is possible for everybody, as they sell.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Didn't hear this word during the time I was working there.

Gehalt/Sozialleistungen

A bit below the average in Germany, but decent

Kollegenzusammenhalt

In general decent colleages to work with and learn.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Some leaders very worried about performance only, with lack of patience and empathy with the team, not willing to listen to others opinions.

Kommunikation

General communication was good, although leadership communication was mediocre and confusing.

Interessante Aufgaben

Depends on the project and team. Overall good flow of tasks but with a lack of inspirational focus.

Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr im Bereich Marketing / Produktmanagement gearbeitet.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Great colleagues, flexible working hours, good experience with HR, interesting projects

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

they focus more on constant Innovation than keeping hard working colleagues, not many remote work benefits compared to other (and even smaller) companies, payment could be a lot better

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Try to give your existing employees a voice, show some appreciation for what they do (verbally but also monetary), ask them what they WANT to work on so you won’t lose so many great talents

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Atmosphere for my team was amazing at the start but there was a restructuring and after that, the atmosphere was rather hierarchical and cold

Work-Life-Balance

Flexible working hours and remote working policy

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Try to set more focus on employees‘ wishes and aspirations, not only for new employees but also for existing ones

Gehalt/Sozialleistungen

Definitely below German market standard and not much room for negotiation

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Environmental engagement top, but a bit pretentious when it comes to social issues like lgbtq+ and racial issues (a LinkedIn post during pride month doesn’t do much. Maybe consider donating)

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Depends on the team you’re in.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

There aren’t many older colleagues

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Leaders care more about their personal performance and reputation than team members‘ growth and satisfaction.

Kommunikation

Decisions regarding my role were made without consulting me. New team leader didn’t care (or even ask) about the past work and achievement of the team.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

The management is able to self reflect and open to improve

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Improvement on communication is probably a major point

Arbeitsatmosphäre

It is a non hierarchically communication across the company. There is a big interest in learning and exploring.

Image

Compado is a niche player and pretty operational as well B2B.

Work-Life-Balance

remote / flex work allows a fair work - life - balance

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Compado is organising trainings and events to look into specific topics. As well there are options to train oneself and receive support for that.

Gehalt/Sozialleistungen

The salaries are fair and market oriented

Kollegenzusammenhalt

The tone of voice is friendly, colleagues are jumping in, explaining and supporting each other. The onboarding which I received was the best I had in all my jobs.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

As this is a startup, the managers are pretty into the details and operational work as well which ultimately makes me trust them. However this can lead sometimes to very detailed discussion - ultimately everybody is learning from that. As pointed out before, communication is not always best organised, but this is normal in a fast paced environment.

Kommunikation

Being a start up the communication is not always best organised, however very transparent when being asked.

Interessante Aufgaben

There is a lot to learn and a delicate product, but as well the room to contribute.

Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung im Bereich Vertrieb / Verkauf gearbeitet.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

*Salary being paid on time
*Good for a start to learn and go somewhere else

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

*Company product: questionable ranking sites
*If you want to get any kind of promotion with some minor salary increase you need to circle around the main Founder and his buddy (best is when you tell off on your coworkers, make reports of what other people say and unconditionally praise the company)
*Low salary (and definitely lower than offered on the market)
*No real HR support. HR is for the company but not for the employees attitude
*Big fluctuation
*Expected to work on the weekends when something breaks down

Verbesserungsvorschläge

If you want to improve your image, please start improving internally instead of asking your own employees to write good reviews on Glassdoor, Kununu and Google.

Arbeitgeber-Kommentar

Compado GmbH

Dear team member,

Thank you for your feedback and your direct and open choice of words. We are saddened that you perceive our environment partly as negative. In case there is a chance for a conversation regarding your experiences, we would be grateful if you reach out to us and we can talk about it to clarify things that burden or limit you in your everyday activities.

We would like to comment on your statement that this is not corresponding to the overall impression and understanding of the team members at our company. As a fast growing company, not all processes are in place and we constantly evaluate our own work and actions - we are always learning, developing and improving and aim to become one of the top remote employers in Germany. We empower our employees to actively participate in improving and shaping the future of Compado as they are the main component and our driving force for our growth, that’s why it also requires a high degree of self responsibility from each team member.

Nevertheless, we would like to thank you again for your feedback and it is essential that we take your concerns seriously. We are hoping to work things out and wish you all the best in your future.

Kind regards
Christina & Emanuel

The company sees its employees as wealth and does everything to develop them to make them a big part of its growth. It has huge growth potential, consequently the employees.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Balance needed for salary and promotion structure. Take more care of your employees who are performing as per your expectation, it can boost the motivation even further.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Open for ideas, energetic and motivating managers, feedback-driven start-up, international and open company culture etc.

Work-Life-Balance

Missing the physical office experience sometimes, but the loving part is, you can decide most of your working hours yourself, thus you are more flexible to your personal needs.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Best colleagues, always responsive, plenty of team events.

Kommunikation

Despite being 100% remote, commination is prompt and transparent.
