Arbeitsatmosphäre

Relaxed and friendly

Image

The organization has a solid reputation among peers, though it is also viewed as less impactful and less well known than many peers.

Work-Life-Balance

Mostly good, but sometimes there was poor planning between departments and by management, or unreasonable expectations from other staff, which made it hard to disconnect. I also had a pretty stressful and difficult parental leave, which was heavily due to a failure of the organization to plan ahead for how the needs of other departments would affect how much work I needed to do during my leave, as well as negative impacts on me from the decision making process described in "Leadership behavior".

Karriere/Weiterbildung

I was able to advance my career quite a bit, but largely through my own effort, since the organization lacked any formal career development process or support. There was a decent professional development programme, however, and I gained valuable skills through it, although I had to make 99% of the effort myself.

Gehalt/Benefits

I was paid noticeably less than in peer organizations for a similar role in the earlier years of my work here, and there was no increase in my salary even as my respnsibilities increased and a moved from employee to manager. I even had to do all the work to get a cost-of-living increase because there was no process for this. However, close to my departure there was an organization-wide effort to competitively benchmark salaries, so this situation improved quite a bit.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Responsibility is at the core of this organization's values

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Everyone is really nice, and the organization does a great job of consistently hiring kind people and promoting a great culture

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

There was no obvious friction or problems in terms of interactions between younger and older colleagues that I ever experienced. However, I did experience less career development support for my identity as a more experienced, senior-level employee.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

I repeatedly experienced situations where I was either not included or directly excluded by management from decisionmaking that significantly affected my work, where I didn't agree with the decisions and could have contributed valuable information that would have allowed us to make different decisions, and where the decisions that ultimately were made without me had a negative impact on my work.

However, in other ways leadership was strategic, supportive, and empowered me to self-manage a lot of my responsbilities.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Very flexible and generally quite acommodating

Kommunikation

Mostly strong and clear, but sometimes important information was not shared with me that prevented me from being able to do my job to the fullest, and even after raising this issue multiple times, it was not corrected, even though it was acknowledged that it was an error.

Gleichberechtigung

There was obvious attention to diversity, and my diverse needs were comfortable accommodated.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Besonders hervorragend war die Offenheit für Selbstkritik und das iterative Infragestellen der Strukturen und Prozesse, die extrem gute Arbeitsatmosphäre, die Flexibilität, und das Vertrauen, das einem entgegengebracht wird. Das schafft eine positive Grundstimmung, ermöglicht Abwechslung und Wachstum an neuen Aufgaben, und lässt stressige Momente gemeinsam sehr viel leichter überwinden.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Personen, die ein starkes Bedürfnis danach haben, mit ihren Kolleg*innen stets in Person zu arbeiten, würden wohl nur bedingt dazu in der Lage sein.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Nirgends je eine freundschaftlichere, unterhaltsamere, inspirierendere, motivierendere Atmosphäre gehabt!

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Stärkere gemeinsame Weiterbildungspläne wären möglich und wünschenswert, das aktuelle Level ist aber sicher bereits überdurchschnittlich.

Work-Life-Balance

Very effective daily routines that helped me to keep a good balance.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

I love the budget for learning and development. Sometimes I wish there were more specific development paths within the organization.

Gehalt/Benefits

A bit above average for the NGO sector. In general, a transparent model.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

I've felt psychologically very safe - I loved hanging out with the team on retreats or having chats.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

We went through ups and downs - sometimes I missed some resoluteness in difficult times. But I guess that's normal in young organizations. Other than that, the founders are humble, truth-seeking and very supportive!

Arbeitsbedingungen

Sometimes I wished for better tech equipment and more freedom on decisions, regarding equipment (or software).

Kommunikation

Very transparent, honest and human.

Gleichberechtigung

A great open mindset towards diversity and inclusion. I don't think you can ever get to a 100%, Future Matters is making a real effort!

Interessante Aufgaben

I've enjoyed a high degree of autonomy on how I delivered my results. I personally love that!
