Verbesserungsvorschläge
I think the company could establish clearer and quicker decision making processes.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The team atmosphere is quite nice, I feel very welcome to discuss any topic with all levels including management and I feel that all opinions are appreciated and valued.
Image
Generally, I think that there's a bit of a mixed picture. I think some former employees have not had the best impression of the company leading to some turnover in employees, and the company has maybe not reacted quickly enough to that signal. I think learnings have been taken from that though, and I think that current employees generally talk nicely about the company and appreciate their jobs.
Work-Life-Balance
There are always more things to do than what you can get done like you might imagine for a start up environment. Therefore, to not feel overwhelmed and get too stressed it's important to set your own boundaries and make sure you get off work and keep your work-life-balance, and that's largely left to your own responsibility. So you should be capable of setting boundaries and setting priorities in your own tasks. On the upside, if you're able to do so you can manage the workload quite well as it's very accepted that you don't work crazy hours and make clear where you need support / cannot meet deadlines.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There's a lot of room for learning and growing professionally as well as clear career frameworks to make sure every employee knows how to grow and achieve the next level. There's also a lot of openness to people transitioning to new roles / between teams where suitable. However, in a small company the options to grow into particular rows are of course more limited than in bigger companies, so e.g. growing into a team lead role is naturally only possible when a suitable row is open.
Gehalt/Benefits
I'm happy with the salary and I think it's quite fair. You should not expect the salary that large tech companies pay but you can expect a fair salary and transparency on salary bands etc.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
The company is generally quite aware of environmental and social issues as a climate tech company. However, in the concrete daily business I think there's still room for taking our own environmental impact more seriously, e.g. trying to avoid business trips by flight where possible.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The colleagues are really great, there's a lot of support across the company and everyone is super willing to help each other. There are lots of smart, motivated people, so it's quite fun to work with colleagues and the team is definitely one of the main reasons why I enjoy working at Cozero.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
There are basically no older colleagues, not due to not wanting to hire anyone above a certain age but rather because the tech start up space is just more interesting to younger people. However, I think that older colleagues would be fully accepted and integrated into the team just like everybody else.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
My manager is very supportive and gives me a lot of freedom to make decisions within my area of responsibility, so I feel quite valued and trusted.
In general, I believe that you can raise anything and talk about any issue with the management team quite openly (including team leads and founders). You should be prepared to also face critical questions by management when we fail to deliver what we had expected (which happens everywhere every once in a while). However, I have never felt that this is due to distrust but rather think that the founders are really trying to understand where we can get better as a company and also where they can support us better.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Working conditions are quite good, also see my comments above on work life balance.
Kommunikation
In general, I think I have enough transparency about the company development, company goals and clarity about how I'm expected to contribute. I think communication to achieve great cross team alignment can sometimes still be improved but nothing that would inhibit me from getting my work done efficiently.
Gleichberechtigung
The team is super divers with regards to gender, nationality, background etc., so I don't see any issue with this at the company. The CEO is also female, which I think is great for hopefully inspiring women at the company to also pursue leadership roles if they want to.
Interessante Aufgaben
The tasks are super diverse ranging from simple to really complex, and I quite enjoy both the mix and the changing nature of the tasks as the company grows and innovates. I typically get bored easily after a while at a job but have never felt that at Cozero because as a start up in a field with a lot of change and innovation we need to keep changing what we're working on and keep expanding our skill set.

Not recomendable due to founders
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr für dieses Unternehmen in Berlin gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Genuinely talented and hardworking employees, though most of them unfortunately don’t stay long due to C-level. The product is great and has a good product market fit but due to the huge employee turnover it's lagging a bit behind.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The founder team has little management experience and does not seem to be trying to improve these skills. It's not a healthy and mentally safe work environment. Decisions are made based on personal whims, not in an objective manner or focused on the well-being of the company or employees. The founders often intimidate, micromanage, and overwork staff. Employees are treated as disposable, inferior and are expected to bend over backward to fulfill tremendous expectations with very little appreciation. Instead of own introspection, it's always the employees who are blamed for anything not going well.
Overselling to clients is daily business, not taking into account the implications for the team and reputation.
I can only recommend this company, if you're working far away from the founders team with a strong manager in-between
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Agree on other reviews here that although it's a sustainability startup, the founders definitely don't live by those values.

Worst management i have ever had
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr für dieses Unternehmen in Berlin gearbeitet.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The working atmosphere is fine if you don't have to work with the management and can work independently on your tasks
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Colleagues are really great and it is fun working in a team
Vorgesetztenverhalten
The managers are an absolute disaster. They are completely incapable of accepting constructive feedback, let alone admitting their own mistakes. It is always the employees who are to blame and who are then offered “coaching”. However, management needs coaching on how to learn to trust employees, hand over responsibility and develop themselves further.
Kommunikation
Communication from management is very poor. Expectations are not discussed properly, there are no clear target agreements and communication on various topics (what is expected from you role, how does it look like, no clear guidelines) is generally very non-transparent.
Gehalt/Benefits
Low wage if you compare it to other SaaS-Companies

Poor management skills

Gehalt/Benefits
Comparatively low wage
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
As a company working in the sustainability sector, employees are urged to live sustainably. Unfortunately this lifestyle is not shared with the CEO's. It appears they have decided to found cozero because of potential profit rather than belief.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The main reason why people still work there is because the team is really great.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
I have never had worse managers. They are not able to communicate properly, micromanage and do not act in their employees' interest. With their actions they are not fostering a safe work environment but do quite the opposite.
