Good communication, great support during the wfh time.
Nothing to complain.
That handle corona really great!
Depends on the team. There are teams with a great collegial cohesion, others are the opposite
There are not that many older colleagues.
The less you know, the higher your position will be.
Too many managers are taking things personally. There is no professional behavior possible.
- The most notable benefit and perhaps redeeming quality of this company is its employees and culture. The majority are young, international, driven, skilled and welcoming. Ideal if you are starting a career or want to make friends in a new city.
- Depending on your team, you can gain a lot of insight into various topics and learn from knowledgeable colleagues and managers.
- Mostly flat hierarchies in daily business if everything is going well.
- A lot of effort is put into bringing the company across as a cool and fun place to work. Beer o'clock, team events, office space, casual clothes, etc.
- Some employees are treated as a replaceable resource.
- Regular unpaid overtime and the option to make up hours is only given after lengthy discussions.
- Often negative feedback or suggestions for improvement are ignored and instead topics are tackled that aren't as pressing. E.g. salaries have been an issue for years, while great team spirit has been praised even in reviews on platforms such as this. Instead of effectively tackling the salary problem, HR worked on defining company culture.
- Some managers/team leads are inexperienced, preoccupied or overworked, resulting in bad management and a general lack of leadership in some teams.
- HR is distrusted by many employees, due to their lack of sincerity, direction and honesty.
- Using young employees' inexperience against them and/or utilizing basic bullying tactics, especially when it comes to promotions and overtime.
- Encouraging employees to submit reviews on platforms such as this for a chance to win a team event. Seems like an attempt to get good reviews.
Ensure the best qualities of GSG are present and felt in every team. Experiences differ greatly between teams and it would be beneficial to find ways in which to promote a good baseline across ALL teams.
The atmosphere among employees is always welcoming and open.
Employees always speak well of their colleagues and work, but comments about management can be negative.
Home office days and flexible hours are great, but the need for overtime can sometimes be too high and there is often no option provided to make up those hours.
Ability to learn a lot from colleagues in different teams and internal basic trainings, but external courses or other benefits are rarely offered.
Salary generally isn't very competitive, especially in relation to workload and responsibility, but there is potential to quickly advance within the company.
Some managers and team leads don't handle problems well. They sometimes ignore employees, bully or make excuses in difficult situations. Top management handled some situations very poorly in the past months, by taking action before fully understanding the problem.
Good at company level, but communication between managers and teams can be slow, lacking or non-existent.
Very diverse, however some inequalities are present below the surface. E.g. some juniors have a 1 month notice period, others get 3 months. Foreign employees sometimes get short notice periods, presumably to put them under pressure, since their visa is linked to the contract.
Hi there,
Thank you very much for review - we really value your honesty!
We’re happy you value the freedom and parts of our company culture. Nevertheless, we would like to respond to some of the points you address:
We have more than 25 nationalities working in our Munich office who comprise a significant part of our colleagues. Additionally, we view GSG as a truly multicultural place to work and we have a very strict approach to treat all of our colleagues the same way. As you also mentioned contracts: we have a standard contract for every country that is according to the respective laws and regulations and treats every new hire completely equal both in terms of conditions as well as salaries (we worked on those as hard as on the definition of our company culture). In case you feel treated unfairly or know of someone who is treated as such please let us know! You can contact your buddy, the People & Culture team or - as this topic is very dear to us - Gerhard, our CEO. We’re more than happy to talk to you.
As you know, we’re right now in a transition phase from being purely a startup into becoming a company that incorporates the best from both the startup as well as corporate world. We’re doing our best in supporting all of our colleagues in improving their individual skill sets and thus making GSG an even better place to work. Following up on the surveys we sent out at the end of last and beginning of this year the resulting focus groups, where we are deeper discussing the feedback we received from all of our colleagues, have already been held in their first round. But our invitation still stands: if you want to contribute you are invited to approach us and share your thoughts. There are multiple topics we want to improve together with you and we are looking forward to openly sharing and discussing whatever topics come up.
And regarding your last point - that we use kununu’s offer to elicit mainly positive reviews: every review we get - be it positive or negative helps us to improve as a whole. Honestly, we wouldn’t have promoted it if we were afraid of constructive feedback but we would appreciate it even more if it was given directly to us. So please feel free to contact the People & Culture team, your buddy or our CEO to discuss any of this.
Cheers,
Gina
I like the possibility to work wherever I want to, in the office. I like the playing room as it is a possibility to take a good break for a few minutes.
You can't trust HR. It's more management and HR against the employees, then HR is a helpful and trustful part of the company. Salary is way too low, and foreign employees are having terrible contracts to put some pressure on them.
Don't make the most incompetent people in a team to the manager/head of or whatever you call it.....try to understand why people are unhappy and leaving the company.
There are two home office days per month you can take, which is great.
The culture between the employees is good, friendly and open.
At least some managers are taking problems always personal. Don't even greet their team members anymore, don't communicate or help with problems. Just making wrong and empty promises.
They try to be better in communication with regularly meetings, but still communication is a big issue.

- Aufgaben, die spannend und fordernd sind
- hochmotivierte, smarte Kollegen
- Internationalität und die Anwendung aller Sprachen, die man spricht
- viele Lernbereiche
- bessere Work-Life-Balance
- manchmal mehr konkrete Policies, damit Richtlinien auch für alle gelten
- Ausgleich für Überstunden
- mehr monetären Benefits
Die Arbeit im Team, abteilungsübergreifend und mit den Team Leads ist mehr als angenehm. Hier ziehen alle an einem Strang und das überträgt sich auf die Arbeitsatmosphäre.
Hier gibt es Verbesserungspotenzial.
Es gibt zwar flexible Arbeitszeiten, dies verleitet aber dazu sehr viele (unbezahlte) Überstunden zu machen. Zudem ist der Workload sehr hoch.
Dafür ist aber vieles in der Arbeit geboten um sich zwischendurch mal eine Pause zu gönnen (kickern, Tischtennis, etc)
Es gibt sehr viele Trainings und ein gutes Onboarding!
Gehalt ist i.O., nicht übermäßig. Keine zusätzlichen Boni, Urlaubs- oder Weihnachtsgeld.
Dafür gibt es andere kleine Benefits wie kostenloses Frühstück, Obst, Kaffee und mehrere Events.
Das Umfeld ist sehr international und jung und es wird auch privat viel untereinander unternommen, dies überträgt sich auf den Zusammenhalt untereinander.
In den Teams ist der Zusammenhalt auch einfach spitze!
Kollegen die lange dabei sind werden sehr geschätzt.
Das Alter an sich spielt keine Rolle.
Co-Founder sind super!
Man bekommt ein modernes Notebook und alles um seine Aufgaben erfüllen zu können. Man könnte aber an der Raumaufteilung arbeiten und somit Lärm besser beseitigen
Meines Erachtens wurde hier in den letzten Monaten sehr viel gemacht. Es gibt regelmäßige Updates von der Geschäftsführung und den Teams im Meetingformat als auch digital! Über regelmäßige Newsletter werden ebenfalls Einblicke gegeben.
Diversität spielt eine große Rolle, hier herrscht absolute Gleichberechtigung!
Gleichberechtigung im Team kann etwas variieren, hängt aber vom Team Lead ab.
Aufgaben sind interessant, modern und innovativ.
