This is not the place you wanna be:
Colleagues in general (there are exceptions, of course) are pushed to take advantage of every misstep and tend to splurge even on results achieved by others. Respect and cooperation are far from being observed
Salary: you get paid the same as a normal customer service employee, but you definitely get more stressed
Benefits: a huge mirage
Working at ctrl QS means working under constant pressure at a very high level, without any kind of organization or direction from those in charge, forcing you to independently seek out all the basic knowledge necessary for your daily work if you want to avoid leaving a bad impression on your client.
People get promoted just because they are friends with someone, otherwise don't expect your career to improve at all.
Most of the positive reviews you read on Glassdoor came about because of an explicit request from management, and of course those who did that made sure it was shared internally. Suddenly, the review score moved from a 3.2 to a 3.9
I would definitely struggle to list PROS to work for ctrl QS...
Colleagues? that's a NO
Salary? definitely a huge NO
Workload? ...
Management? the biggest NO ever!
Digital is an ever fastmoving field and the company is highly adaptable to all clients (future) needs. You have to be able to deliver under high pressure. If you can’t stand the heat, this might not be the right kitchen for you .

Highly professional and inspiring environment with lots of energy and dedication "felt" in the team! Everyone is helpful and really seems to care - both about each other, and about how well the job gets done!
Very busy sometimes - certainly not lacking a good challenge though
Annual charity projects that you can actually get involved in
There seem to be lots of different options to progress and grow within the company - I'm asked about my interests and goals a lot, so it's worth investing in them to make the best of it :)
Very teamwork oriented - there's a general sense that everyone is on the same "mission" and there's no unhealthy competition, even with more ambitious people
I always felt included and welcome - the communication is respectful but also clear
Generally very good compensation and openness to talk about it
Super multicultural team with people from all sorts of interesting backgrounds, i.e. it seems like every single person I've met since I joined has studied something different or has some interesting "outside of work" passion
There seems to always be something new to do and learn, and everyone reacts positively if I express interest in taking on new or more responsibility. The company is growing and changing but still in a "healthy" manner which gives a sense of lots of potential future opportunities to try out new things!
I love this company, I wish I could be closer to work more with them.
Difficult to say, maybe the attitude of very few old team members.
There is always room for getting better. Maybe too much documentation of processes all the time? As people may change within the teams fast to cover different needs there is always a lot of documentation for every little thing that takes a lot of time from the real work. Documentation is good for learning but if the team members were a bit more standard it wouldn't be needed so much time to document every little thing and task.
We work usually in small groups. Everybody has it's own responsibilities but always ready to help each other. Everybody tries to really integrate each new member and give the opportunity to learn and adapt. If you are passionate with the field you will be for sure recognized and assisted to develop your skills within the company.
It is not very known as a company but the organization and the standards are like a big known company. You also work for big known brands that everybody knows. I find it very cool and interesting.
This is really amazing. They are very flexible and want to support a lot the personal and family time. As long as you find a good way of communication, do you job on time and you are reliable, the are very open to work at any time that suits you the best.
If you are passionate and motivated you have big chances to move on within the company. They take care a lot to keep you informed and provide you constantly learning opportunities.
The relationship between colleagues is very nice usually. As already mentioned everybody is willing to help and assist each other. Of course you might find some characters a bit more difficult than others but this is part of life in general. You need to adapt and manage even those. I found some sneaky and difficult characters more among older members of the company.
Outstanding!
The communication is clear and if not everybody is open and ready to listen, understand and give better explanation for everything.
The salary is okay but it could be better, as always of course :))))
1. The workforce is diverse. This gives an opportunity to learn to think from different perspectives provided by the people of different backgrounds.
2. The teams are small and that makes it easier to have good connections with your team members.
1. There are many incompetent people working there. Their performance is mediocre. However, they use politics over putting in work to show themselves as a good employee of the organization. Their objective is to get the new employee sacked so that they don't have to lose their jobs.
2. Somehow hard-work, efficiency, and good work ethics are overlooked due to political affiliation. Some pro-Communist people are holding key positions in the company. They will favor a less-working/slacking employee over a hard-working one just because they are pro-Communist. So showing good work ethics does not make any sense in this company. We have already seen the Soviet Union going on a downward spiral due to the same reason where nepotism was practiced more than meritocracy to fill the key positions. It is logical to think that if this goes on, the company at some point in the future will go bankrupt as well as some other company elsewhere will provide better service.
3. There are dishonest people working in the project manager positions. Their words don't have any weight.
1. Try to use the statistics generated by task tracking systems and personnel management systems before sacking or promoting an employee. I have seen people trying to make people get rejected only because they don't like them. If you listen to those toxic people and make your decisions then you are doing the company a disfavor.
2. Try to keep people who show integrity and a good work ethic over other characteristics. A good face is only as good as long as your company provides the quality of work that it promises to deliver to its clients.
Each of the teams has its own room with modern gadgets.
Very few people know about this firm.
Most of the employees work 9 to 5 jobs. There are company breakfasts every week and sessions to share innovative solutions to problems by different teams. Other than that there are team events.
They offer LinkedIn learning for all the employees.
The salary is equal to the industry average.
It depends on the team members. Some of them want other team members to get sacked and talk behind their backs giving them a bad reputation. Others try to keep a good relationship with everybody.
Most of the employees are young.
It depends on the supervisor. Some are good and some are incompetent. The good ones appreciate your efforts. The bad ones listen to other team members and form an impression about someone.
The office is located in a good location. And the amenities provided by the company are more than enough.
Everybody communicates using Ms Teams and through emails. Sometimes Zoom is used as well.
Tasks are mostly repititive.
- Keep on aiming for great team fits within the accounts
- Encouraging young talents in their growth and development paths
- Nurture the positive working environment and people excited to come to work
The excellent work to the client could also help some of the internal processes to be more efficient and/ or provided in a higher quality.
Things can go wrong, and mistakes happen. But there is also a lot of success and positive cases that should get a bit more attention.
Calm and positive environment with spaces to relax, areas to focus and always very helpful team members in both professional context and while having breaks and chats at the coffee machine.
Agency is not widely known but it is very nice to work with world famous brands
The balance on the job with courses to refresh the German skills, or participating in trainings and knowledge sharing with the peers helps to have some balance in advance to having overtime compensated and most teams managing to actually stay within the regular hours.
Lovely charity events with actually helping people in need. And everyone is animated to support the waste seperation.
Different career paths provide various opportunities of personal development
Team members are very close, especially (but not only) in their dedicated accounts.
And of course, mutual breakfasts, lunches, events and get togethers help :-)
Sometimes the lack of experience in a role as superior leads to misunderstandings, realignments etc. but can be handled with a bit of help from more experienced colleagues and communication at eye level.
The office is located in a very nice area with plenty of restaurant and café options. The Office itself has large mirrors in the rooms, thus very good natural light, comfortable desks and chairs, option to use standing desks in a common area and also comfortable and chilled areas to retreat.
Always looking for common ground both regarding the language (which is English company-wide) and the topics – looping in everyone involved.
Fair compensation in comparison with other agencies, overtime is compensated (which is very nice for an agencies).
Never actually thought about it or experienced anything negative around diversity, but rather embraced the topic by showing pride in being so diverse.
In general there is a large area of different tasks. Sometimes the tasks can be monotone but usually for short times in peaks.
I really like working for a company that combines the benefits of being a small company (we have around 85 people) with the professionalism of a big corporate (which we need when working with our clients); there is a lot of focus on being a great place to work and there are plenty of opportunities for growth (either in a managerial role or into a more specialist / technical role)
Decisions sometimes take a lot of time because of some bottlenecks in the management team - more guidelines or autonomy could help
Although there needs to be internal documentation, time tracking, monitoring of projects, etc. I sometimes wish we could reduce the administrative part of our work a little
Great a team - everyone is very committed, eager to learn new things and to deliver high quality to our clients; team breakfast every Wednesday and afterwork events on Fridays
Proud to be working for a company who receives great feedback from so many global (and very professional) brands
Overtime compensation (which is great) but can be demanding during project peaks; sabbatical options for all team members; yoga and German classes offered
Lots of learning opportunities on the job, bi-weekly brownbag sessions (where team members share experiences, methodologies, knowledge on trends) and LinkedIn Learning access for all team members
Overtime compensation and opportunities to grow responsibility (and salary) quickly
Supportive and collaborative team
Very young team in general
Some of the team leads are still learning how to lead but they all do it with great passion and are open for feedback
Nice office location in the city center (near Checkpoint Charlie)
With some organizational restructuring going on, it is sometimes not clear what to communicate to whom but in general communication is transparent and open
Very international and divers team, lots of women in leadership positions
Great to work with global clients and be exposed to digital trends all the time
Work-life balance, comfort in the office.
- Communication style (perceived secrecy and little transparency, non-constructive feedback, compartmentalised information)
- Excessive micromanagement rather than proper guidance and trust
- To little time for employees
- Dogs (3) in the office
Find time for your employees, at least weekly if not daily. All employees are meant, not just the account managers.
Provide clear goals and ensure these are understood.
Offer guidance, this will save you a lot of time on micromanagement.
Apply situational leadership when assigning new tasks or when new members are onboarded.
Promote a feedback culture within the company. Your people are your most important assets and they should not be afraid of providing feedback or asking questions.
I perceived the nice office with modern technologies to be counterpart for a tense climate among employees.
I never got the impression that employees and management were working together, rather against each other.
I was advised not to seek guidance when assigned a new task I was not familiar with.
I experienced colleagues' faults being addressed in public contexts (like meetings).
I received in more than one occasion instructions not to apologize to clients. All the colleagues I spoke about it claimed to be familiar with the same instructions.
My outgoing emails to clients were being monitored and read by management on a daily basis, which I perceived as strong micromanagement. I really would have preferred to receive some guidelines instead
The company name does not generate a considerable brand awareness, none of my friends and connections in Berlin had ever heard of the company.
It is occasionally possible to work from home and employees can choose to start between 8-10am. Here the company shows a high degree of flexibility
Here I perceived a high degree of uncertainty as to why some colleagues got promoted, and others weren't. What I experienced is of at least two employees performing the responsibilities of a higher level job position, without receiving the appropriate job title over more than 12 months
Average salaries are paid, paychecks are processed on time; bonuses are awarded yearly if targets are achieved
not experienced
There are several opportunities for colleagues to interact with each other and post-work events. On my typical work week, colleagues from different teams would not have time for interaction. Most everyone looked stressed and I perceived a strong competitiveness.
Average age of employees was ca. 28 years old. Expect a mostly young work environment
I have experienced Top-down management only, and strongly missed the involvement of the impacted employees in the decision making process, or to receive the reasoning behind it. Instructions were changed, in more than one occasion, several times during a week, sometimes even in the same day. This resulted for me in a high level of uncertainty on what to do.
The office is bright; workplaces are comfortable; kitchen and toilets are taken care of; fresh fruit is provided 3 times a week.
Dogs were allowed in the office, which does not necessarily help with concentration
Communication was compartmentalized per team with a high attention for secrecy. I got the impression that this lead some colleagues to think they were more important than others due to information they held. I also felt a strong lack of transparency as to what my colleagues were working on.
I was very unsatisfied with the onboarding I received, I felt very alone in this process without guidance. This lead to misunderstandings which impacted my development.
The company employed people from all over the world.
In at least two occasions I spoke to colleagues who had an expired visa and were awaiting for a contract renewal in order to extend their visa. According to them they had to wait for over a month for renewal. This could be improved.
Assignments would have been very interesting had the expectations been made clear during the process. I experienced misalignment from the management which led to having to rework on assigned tasks multiple times until a satisfactory result was achieved. This gave me the constant impression that the work I had done was not correct and I missed constructive criticism throughout the months I have worked at the company.
The job is satisfying because you make the client happy on a daily basis.
Almost all staff are fixed employees, so there are few opportunities for freelancers.
The company should re-start the breakfast learning sessions which were stopped.
Friendly, international, open and social
Loved by/great feedback from clients and partners
There is some flexibility: you can take time off to compensate for overtime work
I was really included a charity project for refugees
Very international and like-minded team
Nice office, everything you need
Transparent
Blue chip, interesting clients, never learned so much on the job
