Bewertungen

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Instead of spending money on needless stuff such as parties , the latest Mac books , snacks in the office , events use that money to be financially responsible

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Very nerve wrecking , everyone is stressed and afraid of being fired especially during probation

Work-Life-Balance

extra hours are expected, work on the weekends is common and I can quote "this is how early stage start ups are "

Gehalt/Benefits

They do pay good salaries

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Colleagues are alright , some will help , some are open but the general atmosphere is poisoned

Kommunikation

Leadership don't share much , they give speeches about how good we will be and then do layoffs regularly

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Leadership is invested and hands-on. There are opportunities for motivated people.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

It does not have a blameless culture, and some teams lack psychological safety. They tend to focus on team members to point failures on and deflect attention from poor planning, rather than talking about structural failures to learn from and work better together.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

It's a transient environment with many moving parts, resulting in decisions changing every few weeks. Restructuring and layoffs are frequent.

Image

Quiet on the outside, tense on the inside.

Work-Life-Balance

The broader culture normalises overwork (60+ hours a week) without adequately protecting people who are already stretched.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Some team members are supportive and collaborative, but the workload is often unevenly distributed across the team, with newer employees overloaded under pressure and shorter deadlines, and the more tenured or senior employees being idle for long.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Some of the management lacks experience, and can be aggressive by creating a hostile environment during difficult times, leading to burnout.

Kommunikation

Many stakeholders and managers are unaligned but still have demanding expectations, and there are no proper feedback loops in place. HR also tends to lack processes on having structured conversations or involving all required parties before making decisions.

Gleichberechtigung

Sadly alpha-prone. Decision-making is unilateral.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

- Understanding if any private matters happen + vacation policy is great

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

- Working hours for any customer-related role is 60 hours+
- Founders rather party in Africa than fix problems with the team
- If you do shifts please live "all hands on deck" instead of all employees work but founders can leave whenever they want
- Internal learning sessions are a joke when a founder who works 80-100 hours a week gives you a lesson on a healthy work-life balance
- Yes-man/woman culture towards the founders gets rewarded and makes the company stagnate
- Company misses a lot of trends through not listening to employees and only pushing something if the board mentions it, a peer has it or the leadership team saw it on Linkedin

Verbesserungsvorschläge

- Change the C-Level, especially one of the founders and his temper will be a big problem as we advance
- Get rid of the Boys Club, it's great that the Top 5 male employees have a Whatsapp Group but stop ignoring people and work with every employee
- Fix hiring by focusing on fit instead of gender and try to develop your people by spending money on them. Junto is a joke.
- Understand the people that actually care about the company and don't fake it for their own good (FA)
- Stop making stupid mistakes (office) and listen to the opposition. Building an echo chamber in your boy's club won't help the company progress

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Generally high-pressure environment + occasional blaming culture through part of the leadership - Wrong hires, who do not value the Hive values destroyed the will for employees to push together since they take praise but other employees don't get the spotlight.

Image

Image is still great but is being tarnished through the exodus of a lot of great employees

Work-Life-Balance

Okay as long as there are no accidents or problems

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Interns become Seniors, then team leads in 6 months with no additional training. Meanwhile, leadership has to cut promotions and has no incentive to train people on their team since a hire-and-fire culture is part of the "high-performing" mindset

Gehalt/Benefits

Salary was okay

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Fake it until you make it

Kollegenzusammenhalt

People just try to use other people to save face and impress leadership

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

As there is only one older colleague its not a problem

Vorgesetztenverhalten

The leadership team is a boys club that does what it wants - hiring the new leadership was not dominated by fit but rather that a female is needed for the position.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Non-paid fulfillment shifts are the norm every now and then or an unpaid CX push since the CX Team is not able to innovate

Kommunikation

Is really bad in crisis times and screaming happens frequently

Gleichberechtigung

Early employees with a lot of Facetime dominate the opinions and other opinions will not get accepted if the Founders don't like the person. The company wants to have gender equality but pushes females in the interview process instead of hiring the better male applicant.
