Good product idea, the execution struggles because of the tough environment
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- The product actually solves a real problem for users
- The people on the teams were genuinely great to work with
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- Features ship unfinished and the overall quality suffers for it
- Founders are involved in every single micro decision and are putting pressure on employees
Verbesserungsvorschläge
- Transition from sales to tech organization or stop pretending
- Take responsibility for your actions and stop firing people without warning
- Invest in proper management training
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Tense, hectic, and always running at full capacity. Startup = hustle culture. Anyone working at Nelly should know there's no overtime compensation
Work-Life-Balance
What you'd expect from a startup. There are times when the workload matches your contracted hours. But the expectation and the norm is more than that
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There are good offerings like Reforge or Coursera for professional development. Because of the workload, you have to do these trainings in your free time
Gehalt/Benefits
The salary is industry standard. Salary band transparency has been promised repeatedly but never delivered
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Nelly has a lot of smart, motivated, and humble people. The collaboration within teams works really well
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
There aren't many older colleagues. On a personal level, they're treated well. But there's not too much appreciation or interest in their expertise
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Most managers, especially the founders, don't have much experience with managing people. The company's growth comes before employee development
Arbeitsbedingungen
The new office is a clear improvement and offers a professional workspace. There aren't enough meeting rooms
Kommunikation
Communication within teams is great. Top-down communication leaves a lot to be desired. Important information is usually kept secret until the last minute, so the people actually affected find out last. Management's approach to secrecy is poor
Gleichberechtigung
There are development opportunities in individual contributor roles for women and gender-diverse people. The leadership team is still pretty homogeneous
Interessante Aufgaben
There are lots of interesting, socially relevant problems to solve. Priorities and expectations are investor- and numbers-driven
