Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Huge trust in what you do and freedom of choice when/where/how to do your stuff.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

The business and marketing strategy has changed some times and with that the requirements of what to do. But again, since this is a startup fighting for life still I guess it's normal.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

It would be nice to have an additional office in Berlin to meet the colleagues more frequently.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

It's a small startup, so everything is in constant flow. Contrary to the first review of the obviously highly frustrated ex-colleague nobody has ever forced to go to the office, especially not in Covid times. I am working almost exclusively remote. Although some colleagues are located outside Germany and I have never met them face to face the collaboration works out very smoothly and I feel just like being part of a team of people who know each other for quite some time. Everybody is always highly responsive, polite and helpful. Knowledge is transferred amongst people.

Work-Life-Balance

Excellent. Working based on trust. No control, no overtime, no questions asked as long as you deliver your stuff, or at least something... Additional days off between x-mas and new year's eve.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

There are no organized plans for attending conferences or else, but you can request to get paid and attend anything you want to. You just have to take care of that on your own. Other than that the knowledge transfer is high and since it's a small team everyone has more fields of responsibilities than in big companies. I have learned more in those two years than in 10 years before, because I just had to, which is good.

Gehalt/Benefits

Not top of the pops compared to the market, but good enough for a startup.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Very highly aware of social responsibilities

Kollegenzusammenhalt

As close as it can be in a Covid-facing, remotely working team.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

I am the second oldest and I can't complain.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

No bullying, very nice always even under pressure.

Arbeitsbedingungen

I don't like the office too much, but since we can work at home almost 100% I don't have a problem with that. The company supplied me with top-notch hardware for development, so I got all I need.

Kommunikation

Good and transparent communication within teams and from the management to the employees.

Gleichberechtigung

Interessante Aufgaben

You can freely pick the best solution to resolve your tasks. You also can enhance your responsibilities and evolve, if you want to. You are even encouraged to do so.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Hire a new management and go to retirement, you are way too old to manage that or learn how to do it in the right way.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Most of the team lived in Berlin and all got forced to go to the office in Potsdam by the founder in covid times.

Image

They put a lot of effort to look cool from outside. Very fake.

Work-Life-Balance

A lot of work, which is not organized. Very hierarchically and old-school leadership style by the founder. The most uninspiring environment I ever work at.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

There is nothing. Just do as you are commanded.

Gehalt/Benefits

Low, needed to hardly negotiate.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

There is nothing, just talking about it and using e.g. climate change as marketing tool aka green-washing

Kollegenzusammenhalt

The founder hired his friends so it is tricky to count on the team members without having the feeling everything will be communicated directly to the founder.
A lot of former employees left already as they were not treated well and they saw no future in this business which I guess still cannot sustain itself and only burns money from others.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Founder is the oldest I think and like a dictatorship. Manages sometimes well to cover that, especially for the young employees.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Totally uninspiring, very emotional uncontrolled, seems to have a narcissistic personality disorder and for this role not qualified at all. Highly manipulative.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Ok but the minimum.

Kommunikation

Not transparent at all. Very emotional uncontrolled. Sometimes hiding information.

Gleichberechtigung

Interessante Aufgaben

Could be interesting but its not as everything around is a mess.
