great working environment, open to new suggestions, fast communication
Working atmosphere
everything is discussed openly, the complexity of tasks is voted in the team and everyone can justify their choice. This helps getting and insight into other fields and to get an impression on what everyone is doing.
Depending on the Project and also on the still small company it is sometime hard to know who is the supervisor for a project.
Communication
Using Slack for most of the conversation is really great. I can reach everyone usually within 10-20 minutes and get an answer.
We have at least on big meeting a week to update everyone on the processes. Small achievements are often shared directly.
Collegiality
Always direct and very open communication. If needed I can always ask for help.
Work-Life Balance
I can take holiday if needed. The working hours are very flexible: sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less but in the end only the amount of hours in the contract.
Leadership behavior
I feel like I am part of the process planning and next steps of the project. Often I plan it myself and we just discuss and optimize it together. Sometimes the aim of a project is not clear in the beginning and changes while working on it. But the changes are discussed openly
Interesting tasks
So far I had challenging and interesting tasks always connected with learning something new.
Working conditions
Within the possibilities always supporting of the working environment, but could be improved. I am confident that this will change soon with more resources.
IT/Computers are good to work with, they are are on a very good level and support all the work that needs to be done.
Environmental and social responsibility
One goal is early stage sexing of egg embryos. Male embryos can then used in alternate supply streams and are not incubated until hatching.
Salary/Social benefits
Salary as a working student is according the same as one gets at the university. It rises with a degree, but compared to other tech-companies its more on the lower end.

Personally I speak highly about the company and enjoy working here.
Career/Professional development
There are many possibilities on the way to help everyone develop on a personal and on a career level. As we are still young, most of them are very new, but seem very promising.
