Great working place - But maybe not for everyone
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
What I wrote above
* Collaboration
* Working conditions
* Tasks
* Getting in touch with the finance sector
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Look at suggestions
Verbesserungsvorschläge
* More stable long-term vision (While I know that this is hard in the current economical situation)
* Sometimes a little more honest communication
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Currently, there are a lot of changes going on in parallel. Due to this, sometimes, it feels like the company is caught between being a startup and something one would call "mature company". I, personally, love the atmosphere, but I can understand people who are looking for more stability.
I particularly like that mindset to find solutions and not looking for problems while everyone has an eye on implications so that nothing is rushed without taking potential problems into consideration.

I think, before I applied here, I never heard of it before, so nothing to mention here
Work-Life-Balance
Flexible working times, working abroad, work from home/office/hybrid - for me the best setup I can think of
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Not so much, but managers are open to support you. you are not spoon-fed, and it's in your responsibility to approach your development. We have a monthly budget for further education.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Nothing special - Neither worse nor better than other companies I've worked at.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
I give 5 stars from my perspective and within the department (IT). Everyone is approachable and supportive - Both in the hierarchy as well as between teams. There is no one who rejects you when you have a question, may it be about technology or business. It's easy to align on decisions. Each week there is an architecture weekly where everyone is open to discuss technical topics on each level.
Unfortunately, there is still a gap between the commercial part and tech/product. But my observation is that this gets better and better. I also appreciate to be able to get in touch with finance related topics that I wouldn't learn anything about otherwise.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
The average age might be slightly above mid 30s, I guess. Some are older, some are younger. I don't see any hesitations regarding that.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
As usual a very subjective question. In my case, I have nothing to complain. Everyone in the hierarchy is approachable. Sometimes it feels that implications are sacrificed for the sake of impact. There are some strong characters which you need to be able to deal with, but in general, the teams are shielded very well by their managers (at least in my team and how I perceived it from other teams). So you can challenge decisions, but you don't have to.
Arbeitsbedingungen
New hardware, depending on the department selectable. You can use the office (If in the according area) or work from home. At least in the Berlin office free coffee and snacks (I know, that's not the big deal anymore, but I appreciate it nonetheless).
Besides that, look at what I wrote about collaboration, managers, etc..
Kommunikation
Working and collaborating within the team/department (IT) is great. The communication with other departments struggles here and there, but I see it improving.
Gleichberechtigung
Age, gender, origin, sexuality ... - I don't see any prejudices or other problems at all.
Interessante Aufgaben
Again very subjective - For me a definite yes. Not only what I've been hired for, but you can also get in touch with new topics. No one holds you back to dive into new tasks - Of course, there is also day-by-day work to be done, but there are a lot of opportunities to get in touch with other topics.
