UPDATE: My recent experience has been that the company attempted to legally discredit my review as âfalse.â In my opinion, this response reflects a broader unwillingness to take accountability for situations that may negatively affect employees. Rather than addressing feedback constructively, the company appears to focus on challenging individuals' accountsâeven when those accounts are based on their personal experience during employment.
I have personally never encountered a company that responds to criticism in this way. In my view, such actions not only put additional pressure on current employees but also raise concerns about how the company handles honest, critical input.
Instead of engaging in meaningful internal reflection, the company's response seems aimed at dismissing or discrediting those who share their perspectives. I believe this approach may contribute to reputational damage and discourages open dialogue. Unfortunately, this reaction has only deepened the negative impression Iâve been left withâeven after my time with the organisation had ended.
A disappointing conclusion to an already difficult experience.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The company has a noticeable âhire and fireâ approach with high turnover.
- There is a lack of clear team structure, which impacts collaboration and efficiency.
- Onboarding feels like a âsink or swimâ experience, with limited support for new hires. The mindset that only those who struggle and succeed on their own are valued may contribute to the high employee turnover.
- The work environment can feel unwelcoming, with questions sometimes met with frustration instead of constructive communication.
- There is little room for second chances; new employees are expected to perform fully from day one, with limited support, and may be let go quickly if expectations arenât immediately met.
- Many employees do not complete the probation period, which some see as a point of pride internally, though it may reflect broader organizational challenges.
- The reality of the work environment often differs significantly from expectations set during the hiring process, leading to stress and uncertainty about job security.
- A limited number of annual vacation days compared to industry standards.
Based on my experience, I would encourage prospective employees to carefully consider whether this company aligns with their needs and expectations.
I believe the company would benefit greatly from creating clearer team structures and investing in leadership development for managers, including training focused on effective communication. Addressing any concerns around fairness and inclusivity could also help foster a more positive workplace culture. Providing employees with support and opportunities for growth, including second chances, would contribute to increased engagement and retention. When management recognizes the value of its people beyond numbers, I believe the company will see improvements and reduced turnover.
Ultimately, a companyâs success is closely tied to employee satisfaction and well-being.
During my time at the company, I found the work environment to be quite tense, particularly for new employees. It often felt uncertain, as there were frequent mentions of colleagues either leaving or being let go. This contributed to a general sense of instability that made it difficult to feel secure in my role. Personally, I began exploring other job opportunities as early as my second week, as I felt the environment wasn't the right long-term fit for me.
The companyâs frequent turnover and âhire and fireâ approach may have a negative impact on its reputation over time. From my perspective, this environment could make it increasingly challenging to attract and retain talent. I hope the company considers focusing on building a more supportive and stable workplace to improve both employee satisfaction and its long-term image.
While the company promotes flexible hours and remote work as key benefits, my experience didnât fully align with those expectations. Employees are required to digitally log their start and end times each day and submit a monthly record of hours worked. There also seemed to be an unspoken expectation to consistently work beyond standard hours, which made it difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Ironically, I found remote work here to be more demanding than my previous in-office roles elsewhere.
The company offers competitive salaries; however, the frequent expectation of overtime work + a limited number of annual vacation days, can impact the overall work-life balance and the effective value of the compensation.
In my experience, the workplace atmosphere felt highly competitive and tense. Colleagues didnât often collaborate or support one another, which I believe was influenced by the overall sense of job insecurity. It sometimes felt like people were more focused on self-preservation than teamwork, possibly due to the frequency of staffing changes. Unfortunately, this made it difficult to build trust or strong working relationships. Personally, it wasnât an environment where I felt I could thrive.
From my observations, there appeared to be a strong focus on bringing in new employees, which contributed to an environment where some longer-tenured or older staff might have felt undervalued. This is something Iâve seen noted by other former employees as well. Overall, I did not feel this was a place where I could see myself building a long-term career.
In my experience, onboarding and training processes were minimal. New hires were often expected to become productive quickly with limited guidance, relying mainly on documentation rather than hands-on support. It felt like a "sink or swim" approach, where asking questions didnât always result in helpful responses, either from the team or management. There also appeared to be little tolerance for early mistakes, and I didnât observe a culture that emphasized learning, development, or second chances. Feedback, when given, tended to be vague and subjective, which made it difficult to understand how to improve or meet expectations. Overall, I felt that the environment lacked the structure and support necessary to help employees succeed.
The company provides good business equipment; however, employees are generally expected to set up their laptops and phones independently, which may differ from practices at other organizations. For those without strong IT skills, this can be challenging, especially given the limited support available. The remote work setup sometimes exacerbates these difficulties, as technical issues can take time to resolve. This occasionally impacted my ability to meet deadlines, despite efforts to troubleshoot on my own.
In my experience, there was a lack of clear team structure and accountability, which made collaboration challenging. At times, it felt like responsibility for issues was shifted around rather than addressed constructively. I also observed that some managers seemed unsure about role expectations or onboarding processes, which contributed to confusion within the team.
In my experience, the companyâs approach to employee retention felt unpredictable and, at times, lacking in clear fairness or consistency. This contributed to a sense of insecurity among staff.
From my perspective, task distribution within the team lacked clear structure, and new employees were often left to determine their own responsibilities with little guidance. Without a formal onboarding plan, it was challenging to understand expectations or how to best support the team. If someone struggled to adapt independently, accountability was placed on the individual rather than on management to provide direction or leadership. This contributed to a feeling of uncertainty and made it difficult to succeed.
Company is fully remote, which means you have a lot of flexibility, independence and ownership. Considering it is quite a small company, you might have things thrown at you that are not necessarily in your job description. Also, it is very agile, so priorities can change 180 from one day to the next. Through hackweeks, workshops, and other platforms everyone is given opportunity to share ideas, step out of their box, and contribute to the cause beyond their immediate role. It is great, if you want to broaden your experience, as you can get a close hands-on look into various domains and enjoy a variety of tasks.
Might be distracting and disturbing if you prefer more hands-on management, clarity and structure.
Fully remote, and the company lives by it. There is no strict time tracking or micromanagement. Managers generally trust their employees. As long as you dont abuse your rights and get your work done, noone really cares how you manage your time. Sick leaves, parental leaves and holidays are as per regulations - you take what you need/when you need it, but you are expected to manage your responsibilities and deliverables around it.
While work is generally restricted to a certain country, every employee can take 2-3 months workation/year abroad, which is a nice extension to PTO, for visiting family and such.
Many opportunities for personal/professional growth. Plenty of internal promotions. Access to online courses and learning platforms.
Due to remote nature, building networks and relationships requires some active effort, but it is a relatively small company so you get to know everyone to some extent quite fast. Colleagues are generally friendly and very helpful. Regardless the seniority level, whoever I reach out to, they typically make their best effort to assist or provide direction.
Last couple years where turbulent and company underwent a lot of organisational changes, but the leadership seems to have settled into a promising set up. There are less open disagreements, and they seem to all be looking same direction now.
Company provides a subsidy for new employees, to set up the home-office. Some locations offer office-spaces for coworking. Hardware is top-notch.
There is a healthy need-to-know in place, but overall there are no strict hierarchies in communications. Everyone is able to speak up, and execs/leadership always take personal time and effort to directly answer all questions and inquiries.
Competitive salary at market standard.
Company offers annual performance based salary raise and occasional incentive bonuses to selected individuals.
Genuinely openminded and tolerant. Promotions are generally based on willingness to own, competences and contributions. I never noticed any skew or discrimination based on views or demographics.
HR is taking active measures to minimise any pay gaps. There is annual performance based salary review, so it is partially up to you to own your contributions and fight for your interests.
Company is in a fast-paced highly dynamic industry, which requires constant adaptation, so you always have to work on new features and topics.
Employees are generally experienced and relatively senior. I.e. you are typically expected to own a certain domain, and based on your competences, there is a lot of freedom and opportunity to shape and drive your role the direction you find interesting and relevant. You will be given tasks or expectations, but how you get it done is generally up to you, and you can always come forward with ideas and suggestions of your own.
Home Office
Wie ich finde tÀuschen sie schon heuchlerisches Interesse am Wohlergehen des Mitarbeiters vor - aber am Ende interessiert es sie nicht - das merkt man auch wie ich finde.
Seit einigen Monaten empfinde ich es als zunehmend schlechter - so geht es leider recht vielen Kollegen/innen die mir dies mitgeteilt haben
Das Image ist wie ich finde nicht gut. Wenn man sich die Bewerungen hier auch so durchliest wird schnell klar warum. ACHTUNG: Jimdo versucht nun anwaltlich gegen schlechte Bewertungen vorzugehen und diese so löschen zu lassen. Wenn ihr das hier lest hatten sie damit bei mir keinen Erfolg.
Schichtsystem, Wochenendarbeit soll eingefĂŒhrt werden. Daher empfinde ich es nun als nicht mehr gut. Beworben wurde man mit freier Zeiteinteilung und Arbeiten von Mo-Fr. - dies soll nun einfach verweigert werden. Dies soll dann auch nur auf einen kleinen Teil der Mitarbeiter ausgerollt werden.
Relativ gut, in meinem Bereich arbeiten wir zusammen. Jedoch die Vorgesetzten sind seit einigen Monaten eine Katastrophe wie ich finde.
Ich habe nicht viele Àltere Kollegen gesehen. Die Fluktuation hat augenscheinlich deutlich zugenommen.
Ich habe die Erfahrung gemacht das Feedback ignoriert wird - sie wollen nur ihre eigenen Ideen durchboxen, egal ob sinnvoll oder nicht - koste was wolle
Gut das man im Home Office arbeiten kann. Peripherie wird gestellt. Aber ich hatte zu der Zeit immer Angst das man gefeuert wird, da die Entlassungen fĂŒr mich recht willkĂŒrlich erschienen und nicht an Performance geknĂŒpft zu sein schienen.
Es wird kommuniziert - wobei Feedback oft ignoriert wird, es scheint nicht gehört zu werden
Relativ unterdurchschnittlich. Keine nennenswerten Sonderboni. Kein Weihnachtsgeld - kein Urlaubsgeld.
Nicht wirklich - neue GeschĂ€ftsöffnungszeiten aber nur fĂŒr eine kleine Spalte im Unternehmen. Die Anderen haben noch volle Freiheit. Gleichberechtigung sieht anders aus
nicht wirklich - relativ monoton wie ich finde. Man kann einige kleine Nebenaufgaben bekommen wenn man möchte.
- Truely remote first
- Salaries are met on market benchmarks
- Smart people to work with
- Interesting product strategy proposition that the company is leaning in and developing on the long run
- Great co-workers
- Meeting culture
In general, I have seen Jimdo grow as a company on all levels over the past 3-4 years. Of course, there have been ups and downs (e.g. layoffs), but the company is really trying to improve on all levels.
What has gotten drastically better is the quick changes in short term tactics (e.g. for the next 6 months) - at this point it is much more focused on what everyone wants to achieve with a good balance of short term gains vs. long term investments.
It is definitely not perfect yet (as no company is), but it has the heart and pace to get to a better place, very thoughtful.
The one thing I still think is critical to move to is more asynchronous communication, because Jimdo is quite meeting-heavy and depending on your role this really slows down your delivery pace and flow state.
Salary on time
Culture is non existing
Listen to your loyal paying customers and your employees instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.
Climate of fear. Hire to fire.
Sinking ship
Remote work. But too much pressure.
Just charm your superior
Close to subpar - considering weekly hours and vacation
Socially engaged. But fires loyal employees. Two-faced IMHO.
Everyone is fighting for himself.
Not so many of them around anymore.
No true leadership.
ok
Woohoo-Meetings that are just a waste of time
ok I guess
It might be interesting if the company decided to take care of the important things instead of cultivating the "New Shiny Object" syndrome.
Transparency. Following good industry standards in product and engineering.
Perks and benefits have been removed over the last years and nothing has come up to replace them. Also salaries have not been increased despite strong inflation rates.
For the most part very positive but there have been many big changes in the past (changing executive leaders, lay-offs, etc)
Still working on the transition from website builder to one-stop solution for small businesses.
Very flexible. Nobody questions if you need to take time for doctors, kids, etc. Output expectations are reasonable.
Lots of internal promotions.
Salaries are Hamburg average. Didn't increase with inflation. But always on time and responsive people team.
Not really. There was an initiative for green energy at some point but wasn't followed up on.
Lots of very nice people.
There aren't many
As in any bigger company, it depends, but I've had the best manager of my life
Sufficiently powered MacBook
Regular all hands with high transparency on how the business is developing
There could be more women in general and more women being promoted
I identify together with my manager the highest impact projects and can execute the way I want to
To work remotely, Jimdo is simply amazing. The culture is fully geared towards it, and the exchange of information and team spirit work very well despite the home office setup. And the teams are incredibly international and diverse! The interaction between employees and with superiors is respectful. The mission and projects are very meaningful
Too many external consultants
there are only few over 45
Remote work, Flexible Arbeitszeiten, wenig Mikromanagement & Kontrolle, Familienfreundlich, Blickt der Zukunft total positiv entgegen
Manchmal fehlt etwas die Transparenz & Kommunikation
Super entspannt & alle Kollegen sind sehr nett
Das Image ist leider etwas genickt (siehe auch alte Kommentare/Bewertungen), aber Jimdo arbeitet sehr gut und intensiv daran das Image zu verbessern und man spĂŒrt super viel Elan, Motivation & Vorfreude auf die Zukunft
FĂŒr mich aufgrund von Remote Work sehr sehr gut
Offen & Ehrlich
Aufgrund von Remote Work gibt es immer Verbesserungen in Sachen Kommunikation & Transparenz. Meiner Meinung nach kann Jimdo da etwas besser dran arbeiten, aber sie geben auf jeden Fall ihr Bestes.
Die Freiheiten durch remote work.
Fire & Hire!
Mehr Transparenz und WertschĂ€tzung den Mitarbeitenden gegenĂŒber.
Die AtmosphĂ€re war je nach Abteilung sehr unterschiedlich. Anfangs war Jimdo ein Paradebeispiel fĂŒr eine tolle AtmosphĂ€re. Zum Ende leider nicht mehr.
Wurde leider von Zeit zu Zeit schlechter.
Auch hier gab es viel Freiheiten.
Nicht gegeben.
ok.
Hier wurde leider kein Wert drauf gelegt.
Dieser war bis zum Schluss toll.
Schwer zu beurteilen, da es nicht viele gab.
Sehr unterschiedlich.
Fair und WettbewerbsfÀhig.
Keine Transparenz vom Management.
Sehr viele Projekte sind im Sand verlaufen.
So verdient kununu Geld.
