My colleagues, the interesting work, the culture in the teams. I haven't seen a company where colleagues organize so many private events where they invite company colleagues (before corona). The leadership style and transparency of the new management had a big influence on Coya. It feel again we are working together as a big Coya family towards a clear vision. The output from all teams increased again and there are many good news again.
Last year there was a time when business was slow and atmosphere at a low. Layoffs took place, but also some good people and friends left the company then.
Office is nicely located, could be better. The new management could try to get some of the good people who left last year back to Coya.
There was a time of a mixed atmosphere after some changes in the company took place, but that turned out to be very positive. The new management is super empowering and keeps up a good mood and motivation. Today there is a way more transparent atmosphere than in the past. Today I clearly know where we are heading with Coya, what we are working towards and how I support this with my work.
Coyas image is still very positive when talking with friends. Due to the big investment rounds and famous investors Coya became quite famous, there were some mixed news in the past when business was slow, but currently there are a lot of positive mentionings again. This positive change is also in line with the atmosphere internally.
Quite good work life balance, at times it can get more intense when specific targets should be met on time. There can also be times where it's more relaxed again. The company is today absolutely focussed on the output, not on the time people are working, which I like.
Various trainings are being offered as well as regular feedback talks to improve. There is a culture of continous learning.
Pay pretty much in line with other successful Berlin startups from my experience. Further additional company perks are being offered.
Very eco-friendly office and eco-friendly minded colleagues.
Good connection between colleagues. Social gatherings and dinners are common within colleagues.
No issue at all.
Management is motivating their teams, giving clear focus and setting the targets together with their teams. I felt is was important for my manager that not just the company is developing well, but also I am learning and continously improving.
Tech equipment is good, everybody can get a Mac or a Surface. The office is located in Berlin-Kreuzberg on 2 floors - however the top floor can become quite hot in the summer and the basement floor is rather dark.
I like the open and transparent communication from the top and also between the teams. Nobody is hiding something and issues are openly discussed. Everybody can openly give his or her opinion.
Big focus on equality.
Interesting work in the booming insurtech industry. I enjoy my tasks here, building up something new, often handle things the manual and easy startup way, as we were still developing. Due to the size of the overall company, it can be necessary to take over some other tasks once in a while, which can be very interesting or a bit boring.
Motivational top management is examplatory. Technology is awesome. Technical home office setup for all ready (but got limited to 1 day/week before Covid breakout...). Besides that, lately, the course of how things went in the tech team, there are really not many positive things.
Strategic changes seem to be made without any (valid) consulting of the department/team in question. C-level management is too alike, there seem no productive controversy anymore (and it always seem that there was never a really productive one). Communication and transparency of situation and decisions is very filtered. Decisions that should be taken in one department seem to be taken by another department. Insurance people and tech folks are rather spreading more and more from each other than moving together. Showing real and valid career opportunities to people.
A startup must be agile and change its focus/scope. However there should be some shades of grey and not only black&white solutions for as good as everything in the company. Management needs more transparency, again, it rather moves into top-down ruling and informing on their decisions. Finding the strategy that is really wanted to go with but talking to your people (it's still feasible, there are <60 left).
Usually friendly and fun relation to most people. However, continuous feeling of 1.5 years momentum of "we're on the edge of win or fail right now" followed by open announcements that "there was no real pressure yet..." does not yield in a truly positive atmosphere. Lately it felt like people were "recommended" to leave if they're not ready for the situation.
Fresh image of a new, digital, cool brand. Wearing the company hoody I've got recognised, positively recognised, several times when being off-line interacting with the products' target groups.
For a start-up, it's been fair - more work intense periods but usually no permanent very very late evening work, also eg Parental leave was to my understanding granted to all who requested but as it's a startup with very seldom equivalent backup for the responsibilities and tasks once on leave.
Personal growth plan was rolled-out, stopped, re-initiated aka no constant plan... Very few people get promoted to positions with a real change (and stay much longer). In my entire time I was not able to join any external educational event like conferences (paid by the company) while business people seemed to constantly go to such.
Salary in the tech team is rather below raising Berlin market prices. Also with a shadow shift that seem to aim on getting rather cheaper personal in other locations. For other departments, I am unaware of the salary level. Perks are regular pension schema, health app, regular (but increased) number of holidays, stock options (that seem only beneficial to the very first folks), nothing that substantially pops the payment.
Separation of garbage and a product features to donate parts of the revenue. Nothing extra-ordinary but more then regular.
Speaking mostly for the Tech team, there is a strong feeling of helping and supporting each other - especially witting the older folks. However, when I left I had the feeling that the new management tries to split this feeling and shield newer people from it.
There is only one guys ~50 and very few 40+, I believe. However, these folks are treated like anyone else.
High expectations have been going with the company ever since, mostly top management and managers struggle to transfer this into positive actions except motivational speeches and public company representation. Strategic planning is reversed and adjusted too often, quarterly OKRs are forgotten once written, management is hick-jacking between complete laissez-faire and micro-management. From the beginning a lack of trust and respect from top management people (eg humiliation in all-hands meeting a la "Don't you all have no pride?!").
After moving into an office with natural sunlight, the environment became way better. Equipment has been great, especially for tech. However, there are rumours to ban Linux for dev... startup perks like drinks, fruits, breakfast bar.
Struggling to get transparency into the company and the teams, especially in tech team a change of the management turned open, transparent communication into top-down micro-management.
In theory and communication highly equal employer, however my feeling was always that most male believe to be superior over their female counterparts. In general female lead positions are rather underrepresented in counting.
In the past years building all from scratch was very interesting, very up-to-date technologies and stack, also insurance as a product is very complex and interesting. But it mainly depends on which area of responsibility you were assigned to.
