The interesting domain.
The dramatic short-termism.
The pressure to deliver immediate revenue jeopardized the work experience. The daily business, at all levels, must be on short-term target. Even if something doesn't make sense on the long run, or even damages the company, it has to be done ASAP anyway. Skilled people have to put their brain aside and deliver what required.
We had a skilled Lead Software Architect, who was leading the IT to a more scalable and stable architecture, but they let him go without a plausible explanation or a replacement.
Outside: End customers usually choose competitors because of the high prices of the DCS. Partners are chronically angry because projects get delivered with big delay.
Inside: after the layoff of external and internal employees, despite a future-proof industry, the image can't be good.
Good, but in case of important failures, which happens not rarely. But if you don't invest in system quality, that's what you get.
There is a yearly budget that usually gets withdrawn in the second half of the year because of cuts to the main budget.
Salary increases has been reduced to the minimum due to the financial situation. The problem is that the company pays high salaries for some people in high positions that is not clear how the bring the company forward. They are only about the internal processes of the company, without actually contributing to projects. A whole well-payed layer is considered to be useless by most of the operative people, and this hurts when your salary increase request gets rejected because of budget shortage.
Good, the business is about EV-charging.
The company has very capable employees, as mentioned before, but also others that I don't understand what they do the hole day. The are some that simply take part at some meeting remote, the camera is turned off and they don't say a word. If you ask them about anything concerning the topic, they show that the simply didn't listen. And they don't even deliver other kind of work that they could have possibly done during that time.
There is nothing to say here neither.
Unfortunately, managers don't have the technical skills to really assess what's going on. They have to rely on explanation given by someone else and on the base of that they form they own opinion.
They also don't have much leeway in decision-making, as the race to break even is the only criterion.
Good office, also because they improved the equipment last year. Sometimes it gets too full because of the rule 3d/w in the office.
The weekly all-hands is similar to a war bulletin and contributes to exasperation.
Nothing to say.
No room for the real improvements that the company would need to gain a better position on the market. Just profit-making features in a quick'n'dirty way at cost of the system architecture, continuously increasing the tech debts.
Collaboration, Innovation, freedom to create your own thought and the support given to back you up
Changed a lot in the past years. Too many different people, Open Office is too noisy with over 60 people in Berlin and Munich. Too many meetings
You can Bring your dog, Home Office is allowed
If it weren't for the nice people and the good salary, many employees would leave the company faster.
COO should be changed. Does not pay attention to the company's money. Just think of his image. Always wants to do expensive parties., even though there is no cash.
Too many meetings, noisy offices
Management provides information to employees on a regular basis
A lot of topics, too many projects, no focus
- salary and benefits
- cool colleagues
- team events
- promising industry
- frequent updates from management
- IT and tools (meeting equipment, possibility to choose the laptop the person prefers, switch to Google products (or at least to Google Meet/Slack))
Interesting tasks.
Inexperienced leaders and departments constantly blaming each other. No togetherness
Growth talks.
Leadership training
Feedback culture.
Cut costs and focus on what matters. Have a clear goal and priorities what is the short term goal and long term vision.
High stress, overload of tasks and projects. High employee fluctuation.
After a point no more progression. No feedback talks, growth talks. CC lead not showing up to 1:1s…
Lower than market average.
Not answering each others emails, questions. People ghosting and ignoring each other.
Inexperienced, clueless leadership.
Departments blaming each other, gossiping behind each other. Heavy Micro management on CC level, no E2E responsibilities. Dark age systems and tools to work with.
Great colleague, great culture, good tech stack.
It would be better to see a bit more fine-grained approach. Not changing everything every year would also be a better idea. Please continue with the topics which people are interested in.
Generally, working conditions are great but the issue of dealing with the incompetent lead is an issue you might want to review.
Great place to work. Everyone is helpful.
Working pressure is quite high in some teams but it's expected since a lot of topics are ongoing
Generally, colleagues are very nice but if you have to work with certain lead is quite difficult

Aktuell würde ich nichts verändern.
sauberes Office, tolle Kollege/innen, Essen und Getränke Angebote
es findet alles auf Augenhöhe statt, jeder duzt sich, super angenehm
I find the working atmosphere very pleasant. The company is quite open, collaboration and cooperation are encouraged. In this environment, it is essential to like to work across departmental boundaries. The company is relatively young, but complex, so openness is very important.
E-mobility is a growth market and an exciting environment.
It depends on the position and department, and when fixed timelines have to be met, it can be a lot. But I am firmly convinced that with clear agreements, clear roles and responsibilities, things can be improved. For me personally, it fits and I have had completely different experiences in other start-ups.
Certainly depending on the area you work in how big your career chances are, but the company gives each employee a development budget, there are performance talks and career plans are discussed. The company is very committed to this and to improve this even further. Also i strongly believe that with the right attitude, commitment and work there are a lot of opportunities.
Certainly depending on position, role and department. I compare this with other companies I have worked for and the salaries here are higher across the board and above the average. Not only for me but also for the team i am responsible.
In none of my previous companies was there so much discussion about sustainability. Can it be improved, certainly, but overall the company takes it very seriously and there is a very vocal part of the staff that demands and support it.
In quite a short time I have been able to build up some good trusting relationships. As in any company, there are colleagues who are easier to work with and colleagues who are more difficult. Nevertheless, so far I have only had good experiences for the most part. There is a positive atmosphere and everyone tries to help each other. Due to the growth and an expected fluctuation in a scale-up, there is always a relatively high influx of new colleagues.
Talent or experience beats the birth certificate.
On the one hand, I am assessing the relationship between me and my supervisor, which is impeccable. I can understand some of the general complaints about leadership in this company but i think it is important to also think about the situation we are in. The management has to steer a complex team with complex tasks in a growing market and bring it forward. That is highly demanding and it also leads to the fact that not everything always runs 100% smoothly. There is no simple blueprint and you notice here and there that the leadership is struggling to find the answers. On the middle management level we have quite a lot of inexperienced leaders but the company is investing heavily in a leadership journey to improve there.
Details can always be improved, but overall totally fine.
Compared to previous companies I have worked for, communication is very important here. There is always an attempt to inform all employees comprehensively about the topics. However, this sometimes means that too much information is shared, information overflow. This needs to be better balanced.
Diversity in the company is present and encouraged, but few women in leadership positions.
It's a growth market and we're in the scaling phase, it's incredibly varied and you have to be up for it and you have to know what you're getting into. Not all the processes are in place or flawless here, but we are working on developing those processes right now. It's very exciting, but also demanding, and you have to be willing to put your heart and soul into it.
Frequent changes in the bigger picture change the work of many teams.
As said, frequent changes in initiatives and projects make many previous work go down the drain or halt it. Motivation to start something new is very low due to this.
Honestly underpaid. There is a new grown model introduced but the salary ranges are very low.
Amazing colleagues. Best thing about working here.
Poorly handlers personal data and details by HR. But t didn’t happen with me but with two of my colleagues which now have left the company.
Many things were not communicated directly until rumours started piling up. Ex. Interns were not involved in offsites. Some prominent people leaving etc.
Many less non German people and on top. Recently the lead of PAC is non German and woman. Women do get amazing opportunities here.
Same tasks. No scope for innovation neither time for it. It’s always fire fighting mode.
Among the above mentioned points, I've experienced some extremely disrespectful behaviors of some DCS B2B customers (big and well known German OEMs), including disrespectful and insulting emails and phone calls. This was well known by everyone in the company, including the leadership board but I've never experienced any kind of support. Insteadt, I was being told that this behavior is "normal" and I need to endure this.
When I joined DCS, I remember the atmosphere being enthusiastic. We were a small team, highly motivated and supporting each others – while also having fun together. The former leadership board was authentically sharing their vision and it felt great to be a part of that. I really enjoyed coming to work every day. However, this has changed after the merge with the other NOW verticals and the new leadership. It felt like the mission more and more got lost while the workload and pressure increased massively. As a result, the atmosphere became toxic and in my opinion switched to somewhat what I would call a „survival mode“.
Toxic!!! The workload was high from the beginning onwards – however, the enthusiastic atmosphere and collaboration with the colleagues made me accept the daily overhours for a long time as I wanted to contribute to our common goals. However, with the change of leadership, I more and more realized they were manipulating people by refering to „the great team spirit“ or „being a family“ to make everyone doing overhours for free. The leadership board kept telling us that it just requires to finisch „one more project“ until things will get better. For months I was working around 11h per day (which is illegal btw) and no one cared about it.
HR did yearly surveys regarding the workload and happiness level of employees – the problems were super obvious but nothing has ever changed. A couple of colleagues were facing mental health problems due to the constantly high workload and extremely fast-paced environment – of course that has always been the fault of the employees, not beeing able to „handle stress properly“.
DCS offered a development budget, which was a great offering.
However, if you´ve mentioned suffering from mental health issues because of the high workload and pressure, I personally experienced not beeing considered for a promotion or salary increase any longer.
To me it was also not very transparent what needs to be achieved in order to get promoted, those kind of decisions felt very random and dependent on the effort of the line manager.
In my opinion, the entry salary is fine compared to market level. I also very much apprecited the financial support for a Qualitrain membership.
Unfortunalety, I had to find out that there was a huge pay gap within my team (e.g. difference of 40%!) while I was being told there is no chance for a salary increase for several years. The handling of personal data was very poor, so that it happened a couple of times that excel sheets including the salary information of all employees have been sent to random people in the company that were on 'cc in the email.
One could say "yes", because DCS is working in the EV industry. I, personally, found it ironic that BP as big oil company became a third shareholder.
Depending on teams and colleagues. Most colleagues were super supportive and friendly, some also became close friends. A few were constantly busy with attacking other colleaguees (this includes people in management positions, who are still working there and even got promoted! Consequences for any of harrasment? Not at all!). In general, it made me really sad to see so many colleagues and friends suffering and also leaving the company because of the high workload and pressure and so much disappointment.
Absolutely depends on your line manager. I was very lucky with mine and would've definitely quit earlier if he wasn´t there supporting me.
There have been many fights between leadership members and also some very toxic behaviours of some managers towards other employees without any consequences. Insteadt of guiding a direction or creating a healthy, positive atmosphere and work culture, the leadership team was fighting againts each other or being a good example of how to burn out yourself.
I experienced that there were not enough meeting rooms/phone booths for the amount of staff. As a result, many people had phone conferences at their desk which often made it hard for me to focus.
There were regular town hall meetings and weekly meetings, in which some of the important information have been shared. However, often it felt like some people were using these meetings as a stage to present themselves rather than sharing meaningful insights.
Also, open communication/sharing individual feedback is not desired by the leadership board as long as it differs from their point of view. If you dare to express a different opinion and communicate it openly, the leadership board and HR try to intimidate you.
Unfortunately, I cannot give zero stars. I experienced a huge pay gap between precious BMW staff as well as within the teams. Additionally, people working in part time (especially women) are being massively disadvantaged, among other things with regard to the payment of additional payments.
In general: yes, definitely. However, since the new management board was built, it happened quite often that I was working on previously agreed projects, which then were stopped, so all work for nothing. Was it all worth the high workload and toxic work culture? Not for me.
So verdient kununu Geld.
