The ship has a major leak and is in danger of sinking
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat bis 2026 für dieses Unternehmen in Berlin gearbeitet.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Pressure within the company is mounting. Management is unable to find an answer or a solution to the company’s financial situation and the poor market conditions in the tourism industry, or to determine how to address them.
Image
Outwardly, they come across as very full of themselves. Appearances can be deceiving, and anyone who looks behind the façade will soon realise this.
Work-Life-Balance
It’s great that you can actually work 100 per cent remotely. Unfortunately, management has little experience with remote leadership.
If you’re a bit clever about it, you can get away with working significantly less without anyone noticing.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There are no opportunities for career progression. Unless, that is, you’re on very good terms with senior management. However, there are no clear leadership or specialist career paths.
Gehalt/Benefits
Salary below market rate. Benefits are okay, but I’ve seen better.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
It isn’t discussed. Those who market flights and cruises may not be particularly interested in it either.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Most of my colleagues are nice and it’s fun working with them.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Hardly any or very little.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Here, you have to make a clear distinction between C-level management and heads/leads.
C-level management isn’t very involved. Unless, that is, you’re unlucky enough for the topic you’re working on to be the focus of attention at that moment. In that case, you’ll quickly find yourself being micromanaged.
Heads and leads go to great lengths to do a good job. However, they’re also at the mercy of C-level management.
Arbeitsbedingungen
As I said, the pressure is mounting. We’re cutting costs wherever we can – on salaries, software licences, team events and the training budget.
Kommunikation
One cannot count on the management to be honest. What began as a search for external investors turned into the sale of the company to a Chinese conglomerate.
The severance packages and leave of absence arrangements for redundant staff, which were supposedly so generous, were in fact the opposite.
The only thing that is regularly communicated is that we are lagging behind the business case
Gleichberechtigung
A high proportion of female staff and female managers.
Interessante Aufgaben
It really depends on which area or department you end up in.

Good teams, bad leadership
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat bis 2026 für dieses Unternehmen in Berlin gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
You have a remarkable ability at putting together good teams made of decent people. Give them the leadership and guidance they deserve.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
There seems to have been a mounting decline in terms of respect and care for the employees. Some people who have recently left the company have been dismissed without a "goodbye" or any form of thanks for their hard work. Some other decisions taken by the leadership team have been a complete failure, but no accountability has ever been taken and entire teams have been dismantled instead. The power that certain elements inside the C-level suite hold is strongly disproportional to their capabilities and, frankly, inexplicable. Trust is at an all-time low, and risks to go even lower without a significant change in terms of attitude and understanding. Micromanagement is also very widespread and is causing a strong sense of despair and mistrust.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Trust your reports more, and try listening to them when they suggest changes or adjustments or resist new initiatives that might backfire. Bizarre and self-promotional initiatives are already costing the company money, talent and time, as well as causing mounting discontent. On a similar note, empathy, understanding and communication often go a long way: you are free to take business decisions, as painful as they might be, but basic decency is never optional.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The team is fun, and people are talented, compassionate and great to work with. The company definitely does a good job in keeping the company culture at its core.
Work-Life-Balance
Could be improved, however flexible working hours and the fully remote policy are definitely rare to find nowadays.
Gehalt/Benefits
The salary is very uncompetitive, and the explanations given for the lack of inflation adjustment were very faulty and unsatisfactory.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
I have never noticed any conflict or issue among team members. People seem to work well together and are often friends outside of office hours.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Older colleagues are respected, and never mistreated or singled out.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Also here, it depends. Leads and heads try their best to help and support their reports, while C-level is often brutal in their interactions (this, however, does apply only to some C-level executives and not to the whole suite): coldness, bluntness, almost rage are often barely concealed, and there is a tendency at taking bizarre and irresponsible business decisions whose fall is ultimately always taken by less important employees. The recent hiring of an executive whose role is basically that of a "hatchet man" is self-explanatory.
Kommunikation
It depends. Generally line managers are pretty open and communicative, and really try to build a sense of trust inside their teams. On the other hand C-level is often shady and impulsive, and rarely opens up. The same partial and confused explanations are used over and over, as if they were some sort of defensive shield. In one case, a very bad command of English has also proven to be problematic and the source of many awkward and challenging conversations.
Gleichberechtigung
Good attempts at gender equality have been made.

Harrasment and cictim blaming

During my time there, I experienced harassment and bullying, and no one felt responsible. On the contrary, gaslighting was practiced, even from HR.

HolidayPirates GroupEmployer Branding
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take allegations of harassment or bullying extremely seriously - it’s why we constantly seek to improve our conflict resolution process.
We’re proud of our HR team who are highly rated in our anonymous employee satisfaction surveys. However, in terms of checks and balances we have a range of options to give our employees many avenues of remediation, and the ability to select support that suits them.
For example there is whistle-blowing support that operates outside the purview of HR entirely.
We also have an employee advocacy body, our “First Mate Committee" composed of employees from all across the company. FMC members are available to mediate on request.
Further to this, we have many employees volunteer to become fully trained and accredited “Conflict Companions”. An employee can choose any of these people to chaperone, and mediate workplace disputes.
We will continue to evaluate our conflict resolution process moving forward so we can ensure a happy, healthy workplace for all.

Lively, fun workplace
Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung im Bereich PR / Kommunikation in Berlin gearbeitet.
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.
Image
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

Absolute nightmare
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat bis 2022 im Bereich Marketing / Produktmanagement in Berlin gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Some lovely and competent colleagues who gladly share knowledge and try to support as much as they can
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Incompetent and toxic management
No ethical backbone
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Terrible atmosphere because of terrible leads. The company hires leads blindly with no actual check of qualifications/experiences which leads to incompetent yet highly arrogant people leading actual experts. Various cases of harassment, it is known in the company but no one addresses the problem and employees end up leaving the company because of burn-outs.
Image
Above-mentioned problems are widely known in the professional world in Berlin
Work-Life-Balance
Dozens of burn-outs.
Gehalt/Benefits
Way lower than the usual salaries (in Berlin at least)
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
None but that comes from the industry which sees no problem selling plane tickets for short distances or sending people in countries with child labour, sharia & co
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Incompetent leads make for very bad communication between employees who oftentimes are manipulated against each other.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Not a lot of older colleagues
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Can one give a minus grade? Leads create conflicts between team members, they don't communicate with one another and set goals that are completely contradictory

HolidayPirates GroupEmployer Branding
We regret to hear that your experience at HolidayPirates was not a positive one.
We recently conducted our annual employee satisfaction survey which helps us assess where we can improve both personal and professional well-being at work. We’re pleased to report the results are positive and reflect our expectations well.
However, it's evident that your time with us did not align with our values, and we are taking your feedback seriously.
Regarding the harassment claim, we do need to address it directly. We have multiple channels available to employees where they can report such incidents, including anonymous options and a channel dedicated to whistle blowing. To date, we have not received any reports of harassment. Our employee-elected advocacy group, the 'First Mate Committee,' and HR's open-door policy are both still active and available.
In the last two years we’ve also been busy implementing a range of initiatives that strengthen our culture and leadership standards;
We’ve adopted an external 3rd party salary benchmark tool to ensure consistency and transparency around salary bands.
We remain committed to work-life balance and our hugely popular hybrid, flexible work policy, and wellness benefits remain in place.
Alignment around company OKRs is a huge priority for us in 2025, with facilitated support in place to ensure everyone is working towards the same goal.
We remain committed to learning from feedback and building a workplace where every employee feels valued and supported. Your feedback helps us, and we appreciate you taking the time to contribute here.
Kind regards,
HR

Arbeitsatmosphäre
“Come as you are” wird hier gelebt. Es ist eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre, wo jede/r sein kann wie er/sie ist. Man wird angenommen und wertgeschätzt und das unabhängig von Alter, Frisur, Herkunft und und und. Das schafft Vertrauen und echte Wohlfühlatmosphäre.

Jeder Pirat hat sämtliche Freiheiten und einem wird viel Vertrauen entgegengebracht. Freie Zeiteinteilung (außer Pflichtmeetings). Die remote first policy ist super arbeitnehmerfreundlich.

Sehr sehr gut - ich habe bisher noch niemanden in der Company erlebt, der nicht hilfsbereit und zuverlässig war und auch bei knappen Kapazitäten zumindest eine Rückmeldung mit einem Zeithorizont gegeben hat.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Menschlich, transparent, fördernd, wertschätzend, unterstützend. Sie haben immer ein offenes Ohr und sind für einen da. Das beste Vorgesetzenverhalten, das ich bisher erlebt habe.
