Many people left or were let go, company culture severely impacted
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Strong focus on climate projects. The trees team is everyone's pride
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The CEO thinks he knows how to do almost every job
Verbesserungsvorschläge
I don't know. I feel like it's too late to repair the damage down. Just stop disregarding everyone's opinion
Arbeitsatmosphäre
A lot of people (20%+ of the company) left. Many who truly cared for the success of the company have left or are in the process of leaving as a result of the drastic change in company culture imposed by the CEO. Pressure is high and motivation is low.
Kommunikation
Communication between employees is fine. But by putting several teams working on the same product, lots of friction is happening. Ownership is constantly changing. Communication from the leadership is still appalling, but what they say is not worse than how they act.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The workers are great and caring.
Work-Life-Balance
There's good life-work balance but you have to impose yourself. There's a creeping trend of some people working extra hours to make deadlines, and that's really unhealthy. The leadership refuses to implement time tracking (which is required by German law), calling it "too much bureaucracy".
The company became very remote friend in the last years which is nice.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Leadership is destroying the company culture. Any role that is not seen as fundamental is being gutted out. On top of that, instead of practicing the "informed captain" mantra they preach, the CEO constantly undermines everyone's domain knowledge and micromanages workers.
Interessante Aufgaben
You need to fight hard to work on projects that will allow you to grow. If you don't you will be left behind, and then punished because you didn't grow fast enough. The problem is that there aren't enough hard and interesting projects to work on.
Gleichberechtigung
Neurodivergent, women and non-white workers have experienced disproportionate hardships in the company. I don't believe there is conscious discrimination going on, but the leadership refuses to acknowledge or investigate this despite the data.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The office is nice and resources are offered for home office setup.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Can't give 5 stars when the AI effort has been a bit greenwashy.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Despite the increased pressure, deadlines, shift to "startup culture", salaries are still just average.
Image
Ecosia does still have a good brand image. Unsure how long that will last.
