Ich hätte nicht besser aufgenommen werden können
Macht bisher einen hervorragenden Eindruck
Notebooks könnten besser sein, leider nicht auf dem Niveau eines MacBook Airs
Transparent, direkt, und entspannt
Super rücksichtsvoller Umgang mit den verschiedensten Krisensituation (Reise, Kinder, Homeoffice, Remote-Onboarding)
Sehr verschlossen, wenn es um den Austritt eines Mitarbeiters geht
Persönliche Situationen werden akzeptiert und man wird teils unterstützt
Hier hilft jeder jedem
Respektvoll
In einem Start-up...immer
- Onboarding (Sehr intensives, lehrreiches Onboarding) Hier wird wirklich sichtbar Wert darauf gelegt den neu eintretenden Mitarbeiter das erforderliche Wissen einzuflößen.
- "Flache" Hierarchien. Man kann wirklich mit jedem reden, wenn man mal nicht weiterkommt.
Bisher nichts.
Die Informationsflut im Rahmen des Onboardings führt letztlich dazu, dass man auch wichtige Dinge wieder vergisst. Vielleicht könnte man dies insweit komprimieren oder das Pensum für einen "Onboarding - Tag" verringern.
Schönes Büro mitten in der Müncher Innenstadt mit guter Verkehrsanbindung.
Die Arbeitszeitregelung ist sehr locker gehalten. Sofern der Arbeitnehmer auf seine vertragliche vereinbarten Stunden kommt, wird diesem insoweit viel Spielraum gelassen.
Man hat bei Dataguard ein Bildungsbudget, womit man sich selber weiterbilden kann, sei es eine neue Sprache zu lernen oder sich einen Mentor zu suchen.
Es gibt zwar eine feste Hierachie innerhalb des Unternehmens. Davon spürt man jedoch keinerlei negative Aspekte.
Das Gehalt entspricht meines Erachtens nach dem Durchschnittsgehalt für die jeweilige Position. Jedoch wird das Gehalt nach Bestehen der Probezeit vertraglich erhöht, was einen durchaus positiven Effekt für den neuen Arbeitnehmer darstellt.
Theorie und Praxis sind weit auseinander. Geredet wird viel, umgesetzt wenig.
Überstunden werden erwartet. Wer am längsten im Büro sitzt wird belohnt.
darüber geredet wird viel, umgesetzt eher nicht so
Kein Interesse vorhanden
Egal ob Praktikant oder CEO. Hier zählt, _was_ Sinnvolles gesagt wird. Nicht zwingend von _wem_ etwas Sinnvolles gesagt wird. Für mich eine der zentralen Voraussetzungen, um als Unternehmen wirklich voranzukommen & sich nicht in hierarchiebedingten Ineffizienzen zu verlaufen. Aka: man wird nicht positionsbedingt diskriminiert.
Wie oben erwähnt, wenig Sensibilisierung bzgl. Umweltschutz, was für mich sehr stark mit dem Statement "protect the people (behind the data)" einhergeht.
Die Marke DataGuard bekannter machen.
Energetische, produktive Atmosphäre. Zum einen durch die ambitionierten Mitarbeiter, zum anderen durch das gelungene Bürokonzept (Garten, Dachgeschossterasse, etc.).
Wie die Überschrift schon sagt: Hier zählt Leistung & unternehmerisches Denken. Gleichzeitig ist die Stimmung, vor allem im Büro, einer der Gründe, weshalb ich so gerne dort bin. Klar, alles hat Ecken und Kanten. Aber das gehört dazu.
Bei DataGuard ist den Zielen und des Setups des Unternehmens geschuldet kein 9-5 zu erwarten. Heißt nicht, dass das nicht vorkommt. Arbeitstage können aber definitiv länger dauern - gehört einfach zum Tech-ScaleUp dazu.
Am Ende zählt hier das Ergebnis; Effizienz wird belohnt. Für mich genau das, wonach ich suche. Hier werden keine Stunden abgesessen. Aufgaben pro forma abzuhaken braucht auch niemand.
Zusammengefasst: Herausfordernd, aber definitiv im Bereich des Machbaren, hier eine gute Work-Life-Balance zu etablieren.
Überragend! Sehr schnelle Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten. Forderndes Umfeld. Man ist selten, wenn überhaupt, der/die "schlauste Person" im Raum. Ideal, um sich selbst zu challengen & auf allen Ebenen zu wachsen. Sehr steile, kontinuierliche Lernkurve. Voraussetzung: Bereitschaft, mit konstruktiver Kritik umgehen zu können, ein "Ich kann aus jeder Situation etwas lernen"-Mindset & keine passive Grundeinstellung.
Insbesondere im Vertrieb leistungsorientierte Gehälter & Verhandlungsspielraum. Zu den restlichen Gehältern kann ich wenig sagen.
Wohl der Punkt, bei dem sich DG noch am ehesten steigern kann. Besonders, was die Sensibilisierung der Mitarbeiter in Bezug auf deren Umweltbewusstsein anbelangt.
Einer der Hauptgründe, weshalb es mir bei DataGuard gefällt. Es geht zusammen rauf. Es geht zusammen runter. Viele, wirklich spannende Charaktere, auf die man sich verlassen kann - besonders dann, wenn es mal richtig anstrengend wird. 10/10
ebd.
Weitestgehend erfolgreich darin, das richtige Verhältnis zwischen Fordern und Fördern zu finden. Sehr bemüht, Entscheidungen im Sinne des Teams zu fällen und in den richtigen Moment miteinzubeziehen. Bemerkenswerte Anzahl an intelligenten und erfahrenen Vorgesetzten, die - auch in Konfliktfällen - mit all den zu Verfügung stehenden Mitteln nach fairen (und zielgerichteten) Lösungen suchen.
Siehe Arbeitsatmosphäre. Laptops haben von Zeit zu Zeit Probleme, allerdings nicht wirklich der Rede wert.
Sehr schnelllebiges (ScaleUp-) Umfeld, in dem von Zeit zu Zeit standardgemäß ein gewisses Maß an Proaktivität (in Bezug auf Informationsbeschaffung) notwendig ist, um up to date zu bleiben. In Summe läuft die Kommunikation sowohl zwischen Führungsebene und MitarbeiterInnen bzw. zwischen MitarbeiterInnen untereinander allerdings wirklich direkt, flüßig und erfolgreich ab.
Obwohl ich sehr sensibel bin, was dieses Thema anbelangt, sehe ich hier keinen Grund zur Beanstandung.
Absolut! Bei entsprechender Performance bekommt man eine Chance nach der anderen, sich an einer Vielzahl an - für meine Begriffe - höchst interessanten Projekten und Aufgabenstellungen zu beteiligen.
- Definitely great culture!
- The team and working atmosphere is exactly what I was looking for (young and dynamic but still professional)
- Great onboarding (In my opinion unmatched for the size of the company)
Maybe already compile a list of resources that employees can spend their development budget on to further encourage them to do so (or offer other support)
Please improve the commuting support. I can not properly use the monthly allowance as my train ticket price is too high.
The working atmosphere at DataGuard is amazing. Even though, the team consists of over 30 different nationalities and cultures, everyone is respected. I felt welcome from day 1.
I think DataGuard's image is great (even though you probably won't come in contact with the company in your daily life). Privacy and Information Security is a great field to be in at the moment.
As DataGuard is still a ScaleUp, one should not be afraid to put in the extra hours if needed. That being said, there's a great work-life balance here at DataGuard. The working hours are quite flexible, and my team lead is really understanding of individual situations. With the flex policiy, I only have to come to the office twice a week and can work from home the rest of the time.
DataGuard offers great opportunities for career progression since it is growing so rapidly! Also, every employee gets a dedicated development budget which can be used for any kind of development including trainings, workshops, books, and e-learning courses. However, to benefit from this, you have to be proactive and take the first step.
For an entry position, DataGuard offers me a great compensation, especially if you consider the benefits consisting of gym membership, development budget, and commuting subsidy.
The company already started supporting some initiatives around (female) empowerment, especially in developing countries. Also, there are some efforts to do good for the environment. I think there is still room for improvement. However, I have no doubt that further efforts will be made since the people team is doing a great job in this regard and is really committed.
My colleagues are really great. I joined my team straight from University and even though I'm the youngest and the most inexperienced, everyone was really welcoming and helped me to get settled in my position pretty fast.
There are not a lot of older colleagues in the company. However, the ones that have been with DataGuard since the beginning are valued and appreciated.
I'm still starting out in my new position, so maybe I'm not the best one to say. But my team lead is really supportive so far. He gives me the time I need to get settled properly and encourages honest feedback from both sides. Throughout the team meetings, he is very understanding of the team members.
The IT set-up and technical support are really amazing! The only area for improvement I see is the table situation. At the moment, my team works in an open-plan office room. This can sometimes be quite noisy when everyone is doing calls.
The contact to the founders is very casual, and I'm not afraid to state my opinion. Besides weekly meeting in my team and department, everyone gets updated about the latest achievements and challenges in the weekly, company-wide all-hands.
From the beginning of the interview process, I felt that everyone was given equal opportunities and that everyone had equal treatment in their position. This has also been reflected since the beginning of my work at DataGuard.
As I just started in my position, a lot of my tasks still consist of the onboarding. However, I got the impression that tasks are equally distributed between team members and that everyone has the chance to influence the work by bringing forward their ideas and feedback
Management genuinely cares about teams and individuals to a degree I’ve rarely seen anywhere. Communication and transparency are absolutely outstanding.
Some growing pains here and there – but nothing that I’m seriously concerned about for the long run.
Make it more attractive for people to come to the office regularly, e.g. through a more physically pleasant environment and better equipment.
Other than that, keep doing what you’re doing – not everything is great yet, but the overall trajectory is highly promising.
The company manages to strike the right balance between being a good-humored start-up and gradually moving towards a more professional scale-up. There’s always room for fun and games, but in certain situations, a higher degree of seriousness is needed and therefore requested by the company.
If there is one thing to criticize, it’s the fact that the company is organized in classic departments, leading to occasional knowledge silos and/or tunnel vision when it comes to goal setting and executing initiatives. There is a tendency to move away from this structure through the introduction of 3 company pillars (Go-to-Market, Customer Experience and People & Ops) that makes me feel positive about strong(er) cross-functional collaboration in the future.
My personal definition of “work/life balance” is that for the couple of times I need it every now and again, my employer can accommodate for it with flexibility and without giving me a bad feeling. So far, this has been the case 100% of my time at DataGuard: When I needed to shift my work hours to the afternoon/evening for a couple of days for family reasons, my email request was answered within minutes not only with permission to do so, but with an earnest “let us know if we can support you any further”.
That being said: If your definition of “work/life balance” is that you’ll clock in at exactly 40 hours each week and you can leave your desk every day at 5pm sharp with all your todos being done 100%, you probably won’t be happy at DataGuard. But that’s not because anyone is forced to work long hours to be promoted or not be fired – it’s simply because there’s always more stuff to do than there is time (and people) to do it.
The office has the typical bins for waste separation – sadly not all colleagues use these as intended.
Every employee gets their RYDES account charged monthly to encourage the use of public transport. The RYDES app shows an individual sustainability report as well as a company-wide report. Also, for company travel, using trains rather than cars or flights is encouraged through a travel policy.
Regarding social contributions, DataGuard regularly participates in fundraising activities in Germany as well as abroad.
The company has clear career paths, which after the initial levels splits into expert and management paths. A “Level Up” program has recently been established to mentor potential future experts and managers. Also, at least in our department, people have been promoted based on merit rather than plain years of experience => great!
Each employee has a generous 1,500 EUR development budget and an agreed development plan with their manager. As it should be, responsibility to actually use the budget and follow through with the development plan lies with the individual.
While there are certainly people who aren’t fully pulling their weight and/or with a tendency towards a negative attitude and/or “me” instead of “we” focus, this is to be expected from a company that has grown to its current size. Instead, it’s rather impressive that DataGuard has dozens of highly motivated people across all departments who go out of their way to be supportive towards each other and together move forward with the company as one cohesive unit. I also can’t remember ever experiencing any backstabbing or anything of that kind as long as I’ve been here.
By nature, a start-up/scale-up attracts more younger than older people. From what I can say from past and present, older colleagues are neither favored nor discriminated against – there is a genuine effort to hear different voices in discussions and there is no bias towards/against either the experience and wisdom older colleagues bring to the table, nor the radical thoughts of the younger people.
All I’ve experienced so far was direct, open and honest communication about positive as well as negative topics. Management not only takes criticism seriously but also proactively asks about their behavior (“Was this too much? Did I come across rude?”). All of this applies to individual communication (1on1s etc.), work in groups and last but not least company-wide communication (e.g. in the weekly all-hands).
Aside from the 5th floor (where the community and all-hands space is), the Munich office is rather oldschool and unexciting.
Same goes for the IT equipment: There’s not much wrong with it per se, but a tech company could/should probably invest a bit more into a more frictionless and modern experience. Prominent example: The headphones the company provides aren't noise-cancelled and (at best) average quality => not ideal for company that's call-heavy with customers and colleagues.
There’s a limited number of meeting rooms for collaborative work, but no single person phone booths or similar to have sensitive and/or longer calls.
Location of the office is rather decent – easy to reach using all kinds of public transport and with quite a bunch of affordable and good quality lunch options close by.
The company has a Home Office policy in place that mandates 40% office presence (although I'm not aware of managers executing this to the letter as long as people perform well). While I think regular physical presence is a good thing, I'd much rather have it encouraged through a pleasant office environment with good equipment than a policy.
Communication is open and transparent. The founders provide their view on the macro and micro markets and share things like revenue (plan vs. actual), relevant new and churned customers etc. on an at least monthly basis. This requires a high degree of trust from management (especially the founders) and they’re willing to give that trust quite freely.
Personally, I can’t complain at all: I’m fairly compensated for the work that I do and the role that I have.
The topic of compensation/salary changes has been proactively addressed by my manager so far in the half-yearly review cycles.
DataGuard is a highly diverse company with employees from several dozen origin countries. Some departments and teams are more diverse than others (e.g. Engineering is particularly diverse). So far, I’ve not witnessed any discrimination based on nationality.
With regards to gender equality, while people identifying as male are definitely the majority (both in the company as a whole as well as in management/leadership positions), there is no discrimination against non-male people that I’m aware of. Also, the company (under the helm of the Chief People Officer) is working hard to bring more women to DataGuard (e.g. through network events) and get them into management/leadership positions.
The long and short of it is: You won’t get bored here and there’s always more than enough stuff to do. To a certain degree, you’re also in charge of your own faith: If there’s a topic that’s near and dear to your heart and you want to work on it, you can make room for it as long as your duties don’t suffer from it.
Everyone is super smart and nice, they follow a strict no ellbow-policy which ensures the spirit stays cool, challenging but amicable.
Freedom to design your day. Results first.
Development budget, 360° feedback, buddy system
#bestteamwins
Results first.
Very well-trained leadership that challenges and supports your growth.
Very transparent from the very top and weekly updates on targets and goals to middle management.
Female top management really makes a difference! So many great role models! Also to mention diversity in culture - christmas party is end of year and every culture shares receipes and traditions.
No day is like the other. Nice customers, also a lot of customer centric initiatives e.g. bringing customers to the all hands or customer advisory boards with the CEO himself
It’s so fun to work at DataGuard. It’s the perfect working environment for people who want to go to work every day excited to tackle challenges head-on!
DataGuard has a really strong team spirit. Highs and lows are celebrated and examined collectively.
DataGuard is a high-growth start-up, so if you want a job where you can clock out at 5pm on the dot every day, then maybe it's not for you. That said, the company is extremely flexible with hours - as long as you don't abuse the system, you can take time off or leave early when you need to with no issues whatsoever.
Training budgets are generous and colleagues are actively encouraged to spend them. For high potential individual contributors, an internal training program called ‘Level Up’ is in place to help prepare these individuals for leadership and expert positions. ‘Level Up’ is fantastic because it prepares people well for the challenges that come with moving up the ranks. From experiencing the program first hand, I feel that DataGuard really cares about who they promote into leadership and want to be sure that people in leadership positions will properly support their teams and the growth of the company.
Everyone is encouraged to bring their own ideas and feedback, whether you are C-Level or a working student.
Clear communication in all teams. Founders are transparent and strategic decisions are explained to everyone.
Every day is different, the workplace is extremely dynamic.
Highly motivated colleagues throughout all departments.
The team is driven to perform on DataGaurds targets.
Personal trainings are supported. There is a dedicated programm for high potentials called "level-up" which supports high performing individual contributors to step up to Leadership and Expert positions. The programm is clearly structured and provides the right ammount of support and coaching.
Excellent work atmosphere where management incentivices supporting each other.
Clear and positive communication between Teams and Departments.
The growth environment opens up interesting fields of developing the company and yourself.
