Holidu has a young, dynamic work environment and a supportive team atmosphere. Working alongside motivated and helpful colleagues makes the day-to-day work experience very enjoyable. In addition, the company fosters a good work-life balance, if you actively seek it out and demand it. A particular advantage is the hybrid work model, which allows for a maximum of two days in the office per week. This flexibility makes it much easier to balance work and personal life and, for me, is the greatest benefit of working at Holidu.
Bonus structures are disadvantageous for employees, as achieving targets is often beyond their control.
Feedback isn’t passed up the chain. There’s a lack of transparency regarding priorities and a lack of communication from (all the way) at the top down. Products are released before they’re fully developed which causes so so so much work.
Employees are not valued financially. Every year, more and more is demanded, without any corresponding compensation from the employer.
Holidu has the potential to be an excellent employer. However, the current push for profitability is putting significant pressure on employees, with many teams already feeling overworked and stretched to their limits. It is important that management recognizes and rewards these efforts once profitability is achieved (with not just another party).
At the same time, more office days, reduced bonus opportunities, and increasing workloads are likely continuing to drive higher employee turnover, particularly in Sales and Account Management, if not addressed soon.
If you actively set and maintain your boundaries, the work-life balance at Holidu can be quite good, depending on your role and responsibilities.
There are no opportunities for professional development in Sales and Account Management. Once you have the “Senior” title, you either have to hope that the team will grow large enough for you to be promoted to “Advisor,” or that an “Area Lead” position will become available. Internal hiring at the company is often based on favoritism.
There are learning opportunities, such as leadership programs, for which you have to apply. However, unlike at other companies, completing the program is not viewed as a qualification for internal career advancement. Learnerbly and other options for individual professional development have been discontinued.
Compared to the competition, the salary is simply at the lower end of the salary bands and is incredibly opaque. While new hires are hired here at a rate 15k higher than existing staff members in the same position, the company cites salary bands (which no one publicly discloses) and negotiations as justification. Annual performance reviews are the only way for existing employees to get a raise. However, if you fail to meet the goals - the achievement of which is largely beyond your control - the raise doesn’t even match the rate of inflation. Projects that you’re expected to complete in addition to your normal workload in order to score well on the “Values” criteria count for virtually nothing in the annual review and aren’t factored into your salary, regardless of your performance. So here, you’re at the mercy of the process’s arbitrariness.
The team spirit at Holidu is exceptional. Collaboration within and across teams is truly impressive, people are approachable, supportive, and always willing to help each other. This creates a positive and enjoyable work environment where teamwork is genuinely lived.
Managers generally care about the well-being of their employees and are approachable when concerns arise. However, feedback is not always acted upon effectively, and issues can sometimes get lost in lengthy feedback loops. In some cases, leadership effectiveness could be improved through better alignment between management roles and individual skill sets.
After a while, there are no new tasks left. In sales and account management, you do the same thing every day.
Overall, Holidu is a great employer where you can gain valuable experience over a few years. The company has a young and international team, which makes working with colleagues enjoyable and engaging. It also offers many great benefits that contribute to a positive work environment.
In Sales in particular, the bonus is never fully guaranteed, while the base salary is simply too low. The repeated changes to the bonus structure over the past months, mostly to the disadvantage of employees, have been quite frustrating and disappointing.
Career progression opportunities are rather limited. Whether you can be promoted to a role such as Senior Advisor often depends on the size of the team rather than on your skills or performance. Unfortunately, advancement is not always based on merit, which is disappointing.
Especially in Sales, the bonus structure has been changed around eight times over the past one and a half years, and never in a way that benefited Sales Managers. The base salary is relatively low, and only about 70% of the bonus depends on your own performance and results. The remaining 30% is outside of your control, meaning that reaching your full bonus often comes down to luck rather than performance.
In Sales, you generally have the same tasks every day and there isn’t much variety. There are opportunities to take on additional projects, but overall, the work tends to be quite repetitive.
All in all good
Is really great
big pay gap for same work
Depends on the department
Could be a bit more transparent
different pay for the same work
Everyone have clear goals and see how they contribute to the company's overall goal
All information is available - challenge it that its almost too much!
Such an amazing fast transition to focus on AI
Sehr transparent und trotz vielen Mitarbeitern fühlt man sich Wertgeschätzt
Muss man sich auch selber einteilen, dann alles mega
Noch nie so ein tolles Team gehabt
Ich bin die ältere und fühle mich gut
Gut-transparent
Great international spirit, leaders are approachable, open to feedback, and initiative is truly valued.
Overall, Holidu is a great place for people who want responsibility, learning opportunities, and an international, modern work culture. It’s not perfect — and it doesn’t pretend to be — but the company is moving in the right direction, and you can genuinely contribute to meaningful progress.
Some processes are still being built (or re-built), so you need to be comfortable with ambiguity. People who enjoy structure from day one might find this challenging, but it’s also an opportunity to shape things.
The people are genuinely friendly, smart, and motivated. Collaboration across teams usually feels easy and respectful, and you can quickly build relationships also across locations.
Hybrid work and flexible ways of working are a plus. Work-life balance depends a bit on the team and the current business phase (after all it is a scale-up), but the overall direction is supportive.
Every employee gets a learning budget and access to multiple internal trainings. There is a focus on enabling everyone to use AI.
Great colleages and team spirit. Fostered by regular workshops, offsites or company events (the summer parties are legendary)
There is a clear drive to improve things and build long-term success. Many leaders are approachable and open to feedback. The culture rewards initiative: if you bring good ideas and execute well, you’ll be noticed.
I can only comment on the office in Munich and it has everything you need (great facilities, a lot of snacks and perks and solid technology)
Holidu has regular All-Hands to discuss priorities and show progress against targets. Yet, with teams across various locations, alignment sometimes takes time.
There are many women in head-of / country lead positions
The work is impactful and you can take ownership early. It’s a great environment to learn fast (especially if you like improving processes, building scalable solutions, work with customers)
flexible Arbeitszeiten, study days, junge, motivierte Teams
negative Entwicklungen werden oft nicht ernst genommen, was zu Konflikten, Unzufriedenheit oder Unsicherheiten fürhrt
mehr auf Mitarbeiterstimmen/Feedback hören und eingehen (dafür sind die internen Umfragen da)
es wird viel intern über Unzufriedenheit gesprochen.
man kann sich weiterentwickeln wenn man Projekte annimmt.
man kann gut Verdienen, aber sehr viel Druck und bei Krankheit/Urlaub nur geringes Fixgehalt in vielen Positionen. Ziele sind zu hoch angesetzt und werden nicht erreicht. Viel Ungleichheit zwischen Abteilungen z.B. Sales und Account-Managern
viel Versenden von Material zwischen Büros, teilweise fehlerhaft, was unnötigen Transport verursacht. Könnte besser kontrolliert werden
Kollegen sollten ehrlicher und direkt miteinander kommunizieren
es gab leider Fälle, in denen das Verhalten nicht respektvoll und nach den Richtlinien der Firma war.
nicht überall die selben Standards.
viele entscheidungen werden von heute auf morgen getroffen, ohne Mitarbeiter einzubinden, teilweise auch bei "emotionalen" Themen wie Gehalt/Bonus
Kommunikation, offene Ansprache und zuhören der Arbeitnehmer
Übergriffes Verhalten der Führungskraft
Gehalt welches versprochen wurde nicht realistisch
Übergiffig und Kündigung ohne Begründung
Kündigung der Probezeit am letzten Tag trotz mündlicher Zusage zur Übernahme
Tolle Teamkultur, es wird viel Wert gelegt auf Feedback, gute Kommunikation
sehr entspannt und angenehm!
100%
top
wüsste nicht wie man die besser gestalten kann
So verdient kununu Geld.
