Lively, fun workplace
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The flexibility is the main selling point. You get your life back.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Might be too informal at times - if you expect rigid professionalism, even at parties, maybe don't work at a pirate themed company.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Maybe find a way to support more introverted employees - although i guess by definition they may just want space to do their thing.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Day to day, its very good.
It can be quite informal, but that's a relief as my experience in offices with intense power distance or strict adherence to hierarchy has always been negative. Whereas here, the higher ups are approachable and collaborative.
If you are an introvert, or perhaps just a little more nervous it might be more challenging. took me a while to adjust.

Answering where I work at parties is always fun. People seem curious.
Work-Life-Balance
Exceptional. Hybrid, flexible work policy with plenty of workation options like this is rare. Seems particularly good for parents.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Bosses have always created opportunities for me to build skills and my career
Gehalt/Benefits
They've got an 3rd party salary-band benchmarking tool now which has massively improved things. I now know what to expect and where i stand, relative to my colleagues, peers and even other industries. The transparency is great.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
HolidayPirates presents a range of travel options, including many environmentally/socially friendly ones. But they don't control what performs well. At the end of the day users choose where they want to go and how to get there without us shaming them or acting as moral arbiters.
I suppose if it concerns you then perhaps it's not the best fit - joining and then griping about it seems like a very weird move as you chose to participate when you applied.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Certainly no worse than other offices I've worked in. People can and will fall out - wherever they work - but even speaking as a cynic, I've seen the conflict resolution systems here fulfill its function well. That's due to the HR partners being legit good - they really care about the crew.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
the company definitely does err on the younger side.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
I've only had good experiences. higher ups have always dealt fairly.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Mostly remote work, but efforts made to supply everyone with tools they need. Macbooks are a nice premium choice, and ergonomic gear to help out.
Kommunikation
10 localized markets all collaborating from all over Europe and North America. It's not exactly seamless yet, but efforts are made to improve things every day.
Gleichberechtigung
seems well balanced.
Interessante Aufgaben
it's different every day. which suits me.
