The working model seems outdated for our sector. Some companies offer reduced hours or 4 days a week for the same package.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Not changing our bonus structure would have been a good thing . Maybe consider something in between.

Work-Life-Balance

Work load can be high in certain situations or when delivering a new project / task but here I have so much flexibility and freedom to do my schedules, my agenda e there is no micro management

Karriere/Weiterbildung

I appreciate my language course being sponsored by this company

Gehalt/Benefits

Could be better
A

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

I do not see any initiative but given the fact that we work remotely, that is already a big deal

Kollegenzusammenhalt

People are overall friendly and more easy going than in other industries

Vorgesetztenverhalten

C level could be closer to the teams and understand more of the work we do

Arbeitsbedingungen

I am respected and so are my colleagues

Kommunikation

It has improved and while there are some gaps, this is not something that stops me of doing my job.

Gleichberechtigung

Sense of hierarchy is still strong here. They could also develop more the women who work here towards management level

Interessante Aufgaben

I really enjoy the tasks and projects I can work with. The company appreciates and welcomes all ideas.

Some
Departments are completely overworked and burned-out, which is never addressed. Instead just more feel-good townhalls and the next employee feedback survey after the other with no change or even action or fallow-up by the top level. Stop treating your employees like little children, they can handle the truth, they are already living it.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Hire a professional consultant to help build a strategy to address the lack of gender equality and improve how women are seen and treated. The situation is not acceptable.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Has declined quite drastically over the last 2 years

Image

DISH is not the most popular in the hospitality industry

Work-Life-Balance

Overall good, very flexible and so far no boundaries have been crossed.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

The most random decisions are being made about promotions or reorganisations. This is then communicated as a genius strategical move. It has nothing to do with qualification or actual results. Whoever spends most time at the office and the inner circle, gets promoted.

Gehalt/Benefits

Bonus scheme is bizarre. Salaries are below market standards in many areas and unreasonably high for leaders who deliver no results.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

I have not heard 1 mention about the environment, I don’t think this is a factor here

Kollegenzusammenhalt

People are reactive and collaborative in general. Although there are also quite a few arrogant people who treat others openly with disrespect, but no consequences, because they are considered too important.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Leadership seems to mostly surround themselves with yes-men (literally, since there are basically no women). Too many department heads have too little experience or detailed knowledge to make good decisions or communicate well and most decisions seem anyway based on gut-feeling rather than data.

Kommunikation

Company-wide communication often lead by people who can’t communicate well or communicate anything but the never-ending “all is great”- mantras. There has never been a real Townhill where employees can ask (critical) questions. Instead Townhalls are misused to boost the declining morale with feel good stories. Most employees feel the same about the Townhalls, nobody seems to tell leadership the truth about this.

Gleichberechtigung

90% of decision-makers are men. Excuses are made about how they can’t find women or how it’s normal because it’s tech. But the reality is that it’s 2026 and the company looks like it’s the 50s. There is no care or thought about gender diversity and bringing the topic up is even treated like blasphemy. Leadership seems completely ignorant towards their failure of promoting or hiring women and women in leadership. The CDU is a more modern, diverse group compared to this company. As a female employee, there is no future or growth perspective here, the boys club decides seemingly randomly about promotions and it’s ONLY men. Women are being belittled, interrupted, talked over and male leaders are stealing credit for their female employees constantly. Women are almost never mentioned when credit is due. I would never recommend a female person to work here.

Interessante Aufgaben

Never boring

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

A culture in upper leadership where self-interest comes before the good of the company, criticism gets punished, and equality only serves the external image.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Fill senior leadership positions based on competence and consistently measure leadership behaviour, for example through anonymous upward feedback with real consequences. Make promotion and salary criteria transparent. Treat criticism as information, not as an attack.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

A culture of fear. Anyone who raises issues becomes the problem. Morale is visibly low, many people are just going through the motions or actively looking elsewhere.

Image

The gap between the external image and the internal reality is wide. That is exactly what this review is meant to warn about.

Work-Life-Balance

Flexible on paper, but in reality constant availability is expected. Workload keeps rising due to headcount cuts and restructurings, with nothing to offset it.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

A training budget exists, real development does not. Promotions follow no transparent logic, and talent is leaving.

Gehalt/Benefits

Not in line with the industry anymore. Salary progression is opaque and depends on the goodwill of individuals.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Exists for external presentation, barely noticeable in daily work.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Clearly the strongest point. At working level, people support each other professionally and personally. That includes the direct line managers, who stand behind their teams despite everything. This cohesion exists in spite of what happens at the top, not because of it.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Neither specifically disadvantaged nor favoured. The same dynamics described under Equality apply here as well.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

The core problem sits clearly at the upper leadership levels. Positions there are awarded for loyalty and personal likeability rather than competence, conflicts are sat out, and inconvenient high performers are pushed aside. Personal targets and bonuses come before the long-term good of the company. The managers on the levels below deserve an explicit exception: they work hard to keep things running and to shield their teams from the consequences of this culture.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Equipment is fine, but constant reorganisations, unclear responsibilities and a growing workload with shrinking resources.

Kommunikation

Top-down with no feedback channel. Decisions come without explanation, critical feedback gets ignored or held against you. Important news travels through the grapevine, not from leadership.

Gleichberechtigung

On paper yes, in practice no. The top leadership is homogeneous, and there is clearly no will to change that. Women are routinely passed over in appointments and promotions, and demeaning behaviour towards women is tolerated and goes unpunished even when it happens in plain sight. Gender equality here is a facade for external image. Internally, what counts is the personal advancement of a few, not fairness, and anyone who points that out pays for it.

Interessante Aufgaben

The work itself is engaging and the product has real substance. Which makes it all the more frustrating that the situation at the top holds back its potential. Expert knowledge within the teams is routinely ignored. Decisions come top-down from people who have not engaged with the actual content, which leads to constant frustration among those who carry the real expertise. The gap between what people know and what gets decided is significant.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Menschen arbeiten in Führungspositionen, die von Mitarbeiterführung und der Arbeit in der Abteilung keine Ahnung haben.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

- Salary and other benefits being revoked (bonus calculation as an example)
- Employee events are almost non-existent
- Top employees are leaving. Many of them are not being replaced and their tasks are just distributed to rest of the team or other teams

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Review the overall packages and benefits for employees as well as the job titles to make sure they reflect the actual work being done on ground.

Work-Life-Balance

Generally good until you get called on a weekend if something urgent happens.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Career path is unclear with continuous restructuring or layoffs

Gehalt/Benefits

Job scope is not in line with the job title. Making actual salary way below average

Arbeitsbedingungen

Poor office space benefits. Only tea, coffee, and fußball table. No snacks, fruits, drinks like other companies

Kommunikation

There is a monthly townhall meeting to provide company updates and results. However, updates feel like they are filtered showing only positive results

Interessante Aufgaben

Interesting products to work on. However, if you are good at something, it will be taken for granted as part of your job scope

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Dish management needs to seriously improve transparency, consistency, and ground-level engagement. Leadership should directly interact with teams instead of relying on filtered updates, especially during critical initiatives. Decision-making around hiring, firing, and project direction must become more stable and predictable.

There is a clear need to reduce internal politics and bring back a more execution-focused, startup-like culture. Cross-team collaboration and knowledge sharing should be actively encouraged and enforced, rather than allowing teams to operate in silos.

Work-life balance and basic employee well-being must be respected — situations like extended weekend work without breaks and discouraging sick leave should never happen again.

Compensation and benefits also need to be aligned with market standards to retain talent. At the same time, the company should take concrete steps to improve inclusivity and address the lack of gender equality.

Overall, management needs to focus less on optics and more on fixing internal structural and cultural issues to rebuild trust and create a sustainable work environment.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Within my department the work environment was strong and collaborative around three years ago, with high motivation and ownership among employees. However, during the CRM migration phase, leadership decisions significantly impacted the work culture, resulting in a noticeably toxic and constrained environment.

Although there has been some improvement post-migration, the environment has not fully recovered to the earlier standards of collaboration, transparency, and employee engagement.

Image

Reputation is poor both within the company and externally. The only thing holding it up is the Metro brand name.

Work-Life-Balance

It was genuinely great around 3 years ago.
During the migration, it became unbearable the work culture turned extremely stressful and exhausting. We worked weekends for months without a single day off, and even taking sick leave was discouraged by leadership. Thankfully, those leaders are no longer part of the organization.

Post-migration, things have improved and are now manageable, but it is still far from how good it used to be.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

There is no real growth, and salary hikes and promotions are rare.

Gehalt/Benefits

Salary is below par and not aligned with market standards.
Earlier, the benefits were better, but now they are quite limited mainly Metro access and the company gym.
One of the few positives is the Metro canteen, where food is reasonably priced and accessible to everyone.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Team spirit within my team is genuinely great. We support each other and work well together.

Within the department, it’s okay, but not consistent across everyone.

Cross-department collaboration is poor, communication is weak, and teams often operate in silos.

The gap between Dish leadership and ground-level employees is extremely frustrating. There is a clear disconnect, and it often feels like leadership is out of touch with what is actually happening on the ground.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Good

Vorgesetztenverhalten

My previous manager was one of the best I’ve worked with, and the former department head was also excellent both were supportive, practical, and knew how to lead.

My current manager is a good person, and we’ve worked together for a long time, which helps. The new department head also seems motivated and genuinely wants to improve things.

However, the company culture has shifted it feels more like a political setup than a startup now. Because of this, even well-intentioned efforts struggle, as other teams are not always supportive or aligned to make things work.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Tech teams are provided with MacBooks and iPhones, and the office location and ambiance are good.

Kommunikation

Communication within my immediate team is great — people genuinely support each other and collaboration works well.

Within the department, it’s inconsistent. Some people are easy to work with, but others act dismissive or overly authoritative just because they’ve been around longer or own a project.

At the company level, communication is poor and leadership feels completely disconnected. Decisions around hiring and firing are unpredictable and create unnecessary uncertainty.

During the CRM migration, leadership was clearly out of touch with the actual work. They barely interacted with the developers and instead relied on a few people who didn’t really understand the migration but were still leading it. This made things worse in terms of clarity and execution.

Cross-team collaboration is weak. Teams work in silos, avoid sharing knowledge, and often try to hold on to information to feel important. Management doesn’t seem to address this, and it continues to slow things down.

Gleichberechtigung

The company is heavily male-dominated. Genuine equality between teams does not exist, and there is little indication that it will improve anytime soon.

Interessante Aufgaben

Thankfully, in my area there are still plenty of interesting tasks.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Bevor man Menschen einstellt, die ihren Job kündigen um hier starten zu können, sollte man sich im Klaren sein, ob man auch fähig ist, Menschen einzuarbeiten Jung ob man überhaupt die Geduld aufbringt, Mitarbeiter aufzubauen . Die Firma hat eine Verantwortung , aber stattdessen treiben sie ohne Skrupel Menschen in die Arbeitslosigkeit. Noch nie eine Firma erlebt die Mitarbeiter dermaßen verbrennt.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Firma betont, dass es sich um Vertrauensarbeitszeit handelt, aber bringen kein Vertrauen entgegen und kontrollieren alles was du tust

Image

Man lässt sich durch das METRO Image blenden. Die DISH Unit hat aber damit rein gar nix zu tun. Ist wie jedes Mittelklasse start up was Leute ausbeutet.

Work-Life-Balance

Überstunden sind Voraussetzung. Bei Terminen außerhalb vom Wohnort wird der Rückweg nach offiziellem Feierabend nicht als Überstunde gewertet. Es wäre lt Teamlead der normale Einsatz den man zeigen muss.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Es gibt keine Möglichkeit aufzusteigen. Ist auch von dem Management nicht gewünscht.

Gehalt/Benefits

Katastrophales provisionsmodell was nicht darauf abzielt, dass man gut verdienen kann.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Respektlos, inkompetent und absolut nicht offen. Der TL versteckt seine eigenen Fehler auf dem Rücken der Angestellten, die dafür die Konsequenzen tragen.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Schlechte Ausstattung, sehr unmodernes Equipment was man zum Kunden schleppen muss

Gleichberechtigung

Männer geben den Ton an. 90% nur männliche Kollegen

Where do I start? Leadership seems more reactive than strategic decisions feel rushed, poorly communicated, and often just plain baffling. There’s a serious lack of transparency, and the trust gap between employees and management has turned into a canyon. Career growth? Basically non-existent unless you're in the inner circle.
Compensation’s below market, benefits are bare-bones, and there’s zero real investment in employee well-being, physical or mental. The culture’s shifted from collaborative to survival mode, and that’s not just bad, it’s demoralizing.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Management could rethink how departments talk to each other, get everyone on the same page so we’re not always competing but working as one company, which teams often forget. Sharing the exciting projects more evenly would help too. And re considering pay to match market standards would show they’ve got our backs. That’d make the job feel a lot more alive and connected.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

The company has been going downhill fast. Layoffs are happening non-stop. doesn't matter if you're a junior employee or a department head, no one feels safe. It’s turned the whole place into a pressure cooker. Instead of focusing on our work or doing anything meaningful, everyone's just stuck wondering if they’re next on the chopping block. It’s exhausting, demoralizing, and honestly, it feels like management has completely lost the plot.

Work-Life-Balance

Possibility to WFH, without mandatory visit to office.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

No possible growth anymore in company

Gehalt/Benefits

When you line it up against market rates or even basic inflation, the compensation clearly falls short. It's like getting paid in nostalgia. There are no meaningful benefits or wellness packages either nothing for mental health, physical well-being, or anything that suggests the company sees employees as humans with needs. Just the bare minimum.

Kommunikation

Clear Lack

Interessante Aufgaben

The work used to be interesting, there was real potential to grow, build new things, and actually feel proud of what you were doing. But thanks to poor management and some truly baffling financial decisions, that spark is long gone. There's no real motivation left to innovate or push boundaries when leadership seems more focused on cutting corners than building anything meaningful. These days, it feels less like a place to grow and more like a slow, frustrating fade into mediocrity.
