Berlin-like and culturally diverse start-up with hierarchical, old-style management practices
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Very international environment with skilled and experienced colleagues.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The management style is very top-down and decisions are made by a few people in the organisation.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Start involving and engaging your employees ...
Arbeitsatmosphäre
I liked working with my younger colleagues a lot and spent also many evenings after work with my colleagues. However, how the company was led from the top reminded me very much of corporate practices and not really the startup way.
Image
I think the external image very much suffered over the last couple of months also due to employees leaving the company.
Work-Life-Balance
I was one of the first employees and in the beginning, the workload was quite heavy but OKish for a startup. After the heavy lifting things improved a bit.
Gehalt/Benefits
Good salary for a Berlin-based startup
Kollegenzusammenhalt
In general, the colleagues were really nice.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Unfortunately, I did not feel involved in shaping strategic / product discussions and received clear tasks for execution only. This is very untypical for a startup and reminded me very much of the good old corporate world. I missed the regular interaction with the top management.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Nice office location in Kreuzberg.
Kommunikation
The communication between my colleagues and the team leads was really good but it was difficult to have regular catch-ups with the top management.
Interessante Aufgaben
Very interesting and challenging tasks with not even one day being the same...
