The Fall of AVA & MAY aka. Hashtag You
Ex-FührungskraftHat bis 2025 für dieses Unternehmen in Berlin gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Very very little. The old company was gone with the second founder who left as he was the one who actually cared for people and couldn't bear the developments himself. The official reasoning for him to leave was his growing family.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Everything mentioned above and probably much more.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Pretty much everything regarding the way of working – open appreciation for people who clearly deserve it, increased respect, working on leadership qualities, providing development opportunities, not lying to employees, realising one's own incompetence instead of making everyone return to the office as a mean of control
Arbeitsatmosphäre
After 2/3 founders left, the changes that were already felt were suddenly openly communicated – the trust, friendliness, respect and empathy were gone as everyone was left with the one founder who does not care about people and is highly incompetent when it came to managing the company he founded. As he was more interested in calling himself CEO than actually living up to the (very fair) expectations of a CEO, he blamed everyone of poor performance and wanted the whole workforce to return to the office since he was unable to accept that people working remotely was not the issue. He has never had any trust from his employees but thought of himself as the greatest leader to have ever lived. Employees started smiling in the front but stabbing each other in the back as a coping mechanism. The wrong people were promoted with questionable boni while others had to fear for their job due to financial issues that were constantly the main problem. Last but not least, they let go every single lead who once worked in the department of the founder who left due to interpersonal conflicts among the founders – quite obvious and ruthless behaviour.
Image
Pretty sure most people were laughing about this company. The product itself has very loyal customers in general who obviously don't know about internal processes.
Work-Life-Balance
On paper okay, in real life I can only second what has been written in an older review: you start with 110% but that quickly becomes the standard and if you don't match the new expectations of giving 150% and more it's framed as poor performance.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
No one cared for your development – which was obviously irrelevant when it came to feedback sessions in which you were expected to having developed so much while not having any room or opportunity to do so.
Gehalt/Benefits
My salary was increased as the last act of rebellion by the second founder who was leaving (my direct superior) and on an average level compared to similar positions in similar companies/fields. In general, people earned okay-ish, as far as I know.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Candles were framed as sustainable and non-toxic, I have no idea if that is true. Trash was meant to be separated but not many people behave the way they do at home.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Very good amongst certain groups but overall the employees were friendly, respectful and empathic young people. C-level is a different story.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Little to no one was older than 35 – the ones who were hired later were close with the remaining founder and all male.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Team leads and Head ofs were mostly competent people, my one star is for everyone who fought for a culture that was worth working for. C-level was more and more living in a world that was framed, supported and confirmed by everyone else on C-level. They could never accept having made a mistake and always searched the fault in some poor employee who dared to give slightly critical feedback. I remain so confused by everyone who decided to stay in this company and can only assume that this has to do with the fact that the company had been acquired.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Fine after making HR find the next office after having moved many many times. Laptop was provided, additional items for the IT setup were available in the office.
Kommunikation
Communication had to be taken over by people who actually understood how to communicate transparently without starting a panic. One time, when these more competent people were on PTO, the remaining CEO told everyone that there won't be any salary raises (even though they had been promised in writing) but since he decided to also not increase his salary, everyone should be very satisfied and looking up to his selfless behaviour. Communication among colleagues was nice but often tinted by everyone's own fear of being let go sooner or later. HR fought for their life but could not deal with that level of delusion.
Gleichberechtigung
Women-dominated field, which was very refreshing. CEO seemed like he didn't really think of women as potentially competent people though.
Interessante Aufgaben
Very mixed – of course there are always interesting tasks but they remained overshadowed by all those "need to be immediately done" things that were never that important.

Great startup with typical ups and downs, a strong company culture and a fantastic team
Hat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung für dieses Unternehmen in Berlin gearbeitet.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
I enjoy going to work and really love the atmosphere in general. The last year has been difficult as for many other start ups. This impacted the mood of many colleagues as jobs were not always safe.
In general, I am trusted a lot, my opinion is always taken into account and I have room to grow.
Work-Life-Balance
It varies from team to team. Overtime is not expected, but it is almost impossible to avoid it, especially during stressful periods. If someone is struggling and communicating it, solutions are sought together to decrease the workload.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
You can tell that many colleagues are super passionate about their job and the company. The spirit and solidarity in the teams is great and you can always rely on support if you need it.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
There aren't many.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Managers have different levels of experience, but all are committed to their teams. There is a relatively flat hierarchy, respectful interaction and an open feedback culture to address problems in order to solve them together. I never experienced unfairness or favouritism.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Macbooks, second screen and company phones (if necessary for your job) are provided.
I loved to come to the office, but I prefer to work from home now due to the current office situation (coworking space).
Kommunikation
The founders provide very transparent updates about the current status of the company every month in our All Hands meeting. I have never worked at a company where communication is so transparent and honest (both from management and towards management).
Colleagues always try to pass on relevant information, but in some situations this can still be improved.
Gleichberechtigung
An above-average number of women is working at Hashtag You and many managers are female.
Interessante Aufgaben
As in any other company there are tasks that are more fun than others. Overall, the tasks are very diverse and you are given a lot of (creative) freedom.
If you want to reorient yourself in order to learn something new, a change to other departments is possible after consultation with respecting managers.

I would not recommend anyone to work here
Hat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr für dieses Unternehmen in Berlin gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
free coffee in the office
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Almost everything.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
pretty much everything
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The working atmosphere is characterized by mistrust and dishonesty. Many colleagues talk back about others, sometimes spread lies in order to be in a better position and then be promoted more quickly. The managers encourage this behavior.
I have never felt comfortable.
Image
officially, everyone thinks the candles are great. but candles remain candles. the image is questionable, and nothing here is sustainable.
Work-Life-Balance
the biggest minus point. in the beginning, you're still motivated, do some overtime and are happy when the results are good. in the beginning, they want you to give 110%. as soon as you've done that, 110% is too less and they want 120%. we were then at 150% at some point when i pulled the emergency brake - much to the displeasure of the management. they then tried to convince me that i was suddenly doing really bad work. sorry guys, the only bad thing about it is your behavior!
it is also expected and demanded that you also look into the systems on weekends. and on vacation. they wanted to force me to install slack on my private cell phone. when i refused, i was nastily approached by the management.
the peak was that i was sick and they pestered me with emails, calls, sms and whatsapp and wanted to quote me in several meetings.
really 0 respect for employees!
Karriere/Weiterbildung
personal relationships are more important here than being judged by performance. you will only make a career here if you work as a spy and denouncer for the management.
Gehalt/Benefits
Salary below average. they offer mental health, which is absolutely ridiculous. if management behaved differently, there would be no need for mental health at all.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Some trash is separated. but in principle nothing is sustainable and produces a lot of waste.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
the cohesion of the colleagues was terrible. i met few to no honest colleagues. smiling in front, stabbing in the back.
Some employees are obviously working against you, and management does nothing about it.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
there are no older employees. older applicants are sorted out right after the application. they are too expensive and can't be pushed around like young people who want to make a career.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
i have never had such disrespectful superiors in my life. they don't care about your private life, i realized this after several conversations. They are dishonest and play a false game, and try to squeeze you as much as they can. if you don't perform, they fire you - no matter what kind of contract you have.
Arbeitsbedingungen
It's ok.
Kommunikation
Meeting marathon every week. There are way too many meetings, way too many slides that you constantly have to fill out for this and that meeting.
the meetings are for the most part neither goal-oriented nor helpful. even in large corporations there are far fewer meetings. if you still work there, have the fun at the beginning of a meeting and ask what the goal and outcome of this meeting is. either you don't get an answer, or it is dismissed with some management fairy tale.
Gleichberechtigung
they accept everyone, as most of them do not last long there
Interessante Aufgaben
Selling scented candles can never be interesting. They promote theirselves as a tech firm, but it's all about the sales.
we were even told to go to the warehouse outside the city and pack packages because the shipping company didn't hire enough people.
honestly, how dare you?
