Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We take all feedback seriously, as it gives us the opportunity to reflect and continuously improve as an employer. At the same time, we would like to provide additional context to some of the points raised.

Over the past years, fleetster has invested significant effort into building clear and transparent structures. We have defined salary bands, structured career paths, and detailed job descriptions to ensure clarity around expectations, responsibilities, and development opportunities. Career progression is supported through regular one on ones, mentorship, and close collaboration with our Head of People. Our goal is to enable employees to grow into their roles in a structured and supported way.

Responsibilities and expectations are clearly communicated throughout the hiring process and during employment. We place strong emphasis on transparent internal communication and continuous feedback. We also follow German labor law strictly regarding sick leave and employee rights. Taking sick leave has never been penalized and employee well being is a priority for us.

We have clearly defined onboarding and offboarding processes to ensure smooth transitions, knowledge transfer, and professional collaboration at every stage of the employee lifecycle. Guided by our values of transparency and integrity, we aim to maintain an open, fair, and professional environment where employees feel respected and supported.

We regret that your experience at fleetster did not meet your expectations. However, we stand by the fact that we have consistently acted in a professional and structured manner. Building a positive and transparent work environment is something we work on every day, and we continuously refine our processes based on constructive feedback.

We wish you all the best for your future professional and personal path.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback.

We appreciate that you highlighted the supportive collaboration among colleagues. A strong team spirit is something we value highly at fleetster, and we are proud that many employees experience this positively.

At the same time, we would like to provide additional context to several of the concerns raised. As a growing company, we have been continuously working on strengthening our leadership structures, communication processes, and career development frameworks. Over the past years, we have introduced clearly defined salary bands, structured career paths, and transparent job descriptions to ensure fairness and clarity around expectations and development opportunities. Regular feedback conversations and close collaboration with our Head of People are integral parts of this process.

Transparency and integrity are core values at fleetster. We aim to communicate openly about company decisions, priorities, and changes, while also encouraging constructive dialogue and feedback from all team members. Leadership involvement in operational topics is often a reflection of our company size and growth phase, where close collaboration across functions is essential. That said, we continuously reflect on how to balance alignment, autonomy, and empowerment in the best possible way.

Regarding flexibility and remote work, we strive to offer arrangements that align both with individual needs and operational requirements. We are aware that expectations can differ, and we work to clarify these topics transparently during recruitment and throughout employment.

Workload management, office conditions, and equipment standards are topics we take seriously. We regularly review our working environment and invest in improvements where necessary to ensure professional and safe conditions for everyone. In addition, we have recently invested in a new, significantly larger office space to provide a more modern, comfortable, and professional working environment for our teams.

We also want to emphasize that career development and learning are important to us. Clear growth paths, mentorship, and increasing responsibility based on performance and commitment are part of our development approach. As with any evolving organization, we continue refining these structures.

We regret that your experience did not reflect the environment we strive to create. We remain committed to building a workplace guided by transparency, integrity, and mutual respect, and we will continue to improve our processes based on constructive input.

We wish you all the best for your future professional and personal journey.

Vielen Dank für dein Feedback!

Es freut uns sehr, dass du besonders das offene und hilfsbereite Team, die abwechslungsreichen Aufgaben und die positive, produktive Arbeitsatmosphäre bei fleetster hervorhebst, genau diese Kombination macht unseren Arbeitsalltag spannend und motivierend.

Regelmäßige 1on1-Gespräche mit unserem Head of People sowie der wöchentliche Austausch über den 15Five-Kanal stellen sicher, dass Feedback gehört und Anliegen schnell aufgegriffen werden.

Außerdem arbeiten wir aktuell an noch detaillierteren und strukturierten Onboarding-Plänen, damit neue Kolleg:innen von Anfang an gut eingearbeitet werden und sich schnell wohlfühlen.

Gleichberechtigung und Teamgeist sind uns besonders wichtig. Wir fördern den Austausch aktiv durch Team Weeks, Gaming Nights und weitere gemeinsame Events, bei denen der persönliche Austausch im Mittelpunkt steht.

Zudem unterstützen wir flexible Home-Office-Möglichkeiten, bieten gleichzeitig im Office viele Chancen für Zusammenarbeit und Austausch und tragen so aktiv zur Work-Life-Balance bei.

Dass du unsere Meetingsboxen und Büroausstattung schätzt, freut uns sehr, wir planen bereits weitere Boxen für noch mehr Flexibilität.

Danke, dass du dir die Zeit für diese Bewertung genommen hast. Wir wünschen dir für deinen weiteren Weg alles Gute!

Herzliche Grüße

It’s also encouraging to know that you feel feedback is truly heard and that our approachable, cooperative culture supports both problem-solving and personal growth. That open exchange is something we actively promote in our day-to-day collaboration.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback.

We’re very happy to hear that you value the collaborative environment within our technical team and that you experienced our projects as challenging and diverse. Creating opportunities for engineers to work with modern technologies, maintain high code quality standards, and continuously grow their skills is something we care deeply about.

It’s also great to hear that the teamwork, knowledge sharing, and supportive communication within the team stood out during your time with us. Building an environment where colleagues help each other and collaborate openly is an important part of our culture.

We also appreciate your constructive remarks regarding the office space and occasional noise. Since your review, we have moved into our new office, which offers significantly more space for the growing team. We are currently in the process of transforming our former office into additional meeting rooms and quiet spaces. Our goal is to create a modern, open, and comfortable working environment where everyone has enough space to collaborate, focus, and feel at ease.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback and for sharing your experience. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving and developing our workplace.

Dear former employee,

We believe this statement reflects personal frustration more than structural truth, especially in regard to our CEO.
We do not engage in personal attacks, but we want to set the record straight.

Decision-making & Leadership
fleetster is a small tech company operating in a highly competitive SaaS market. Decisions sometimes need to be made quickly and with focus. That is not unusual in scale-ups. At the same time, we have multiple structured formats where feedback and input are explicitly encouraged:
- Regular team retrospectives
- Regular 1:1 meetings
- Weekly feedback cycles with 15Five
- Open roadmap discussions in planning sessions
We are aware that this level of transparency and proximity to leadership can feel unfamiliar to some. Still, saying that "feedback is ignored" is factually incorrect.

Working hours & flexibility
Office policies (on-site, hybrid, or remote) depend on the role:
- Product Team: 3 days per week in the office (Monday, Thursday, Friday for sprint planning, retrospectives, and workshops), 2 days wherever you feel most productive
- Sales Team: 3 days per week in the office (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday), 2 days remote or wherever most productive
- Full-time work is 40 hours per week, with most of the team working between 9:00 and 18:00 including a 1-hour (lunch-)break.
- Breaks can be taken flexibly, except in customer-facing roles (e.g., support) where longer breaks like lunch are scheduled collaboratively within the team.
- Overtime is not expected and not part of our culture. No one is required to be available outside working hours, certainly not to the extent of the CEO.

These expectations are clearly communicated during hiring and onboarding. If someone cannot or does not want to work within these parameters, we respect that decision. These are standard requirements for a SaaS team that values collaboration and customer responsiveness.

Office environment
Yes, the current office is full. That’s what happens when you grow. The move to a larger space has been planned and communicated for months. Until then: clean, central, functional.

HR and employee support
HR at fleetster is not a disciplinary function. We take employee dissatisfaction seriously and provide multiple touchpoints to improve situations. At the same time, we accept that sometimes collaboration does not work out, and people decide to move on. Replacing roles when employees leave is a normal part of running a company.

Learning & development
We offer multiple growth opportunities:
- 1:1 coaching from certified professionals (Lotaro)
- Paid language courses (Udemy)
- Optional learning budgets depending on role and seniority
That said, growth at a scale-up requires initiative. Waiting for predefined promotion paths is not aligned with our operating reality.

Compensation & benefits
- 24 paid vacation days plus unlimited unpaid vacation
- Transparent salary ranges published for every job in the job description
- We are CO2-neutral and donate annually to environmental or social causes on behalf of each employee (€250 per person, choice of cause)
- Wellpass or Deutschlandticket after probation period

In summary:
We are proud of the team, product and impact we have built, and we know that scaleups are not for everyone. If the culture and pace did not fit, we understand. However, we stand by our values of transparency, ownership, integrity and collaboration, and we invite anyone genuinely curious about our company to speak with current team members directly.

We wish you all the best for your professional future.
