A start-up striving for a better world through cutting-edge technology without forgetting the employees on its way.
What I like about the employer
The open feedback culture, the straight-forward communication and the identification of everybody with their tasks. Furthermore, the supervisor's enabling behaviour and the high trust and responsibility one gets, also as a student.
What I dislike about the employer
The lack of office space once more team members go back to onsite working.
Suggestions for improvement
The need for office space is growing continuously with the team growing. As soon as onsite working becomes more usual again, more space will definitely be needed. Also, development-heavy positions should always get company-owned hardware (e.g. laptop).
Working atmosphere
A feedback-oriented atmosphere makes coworking very easy and productive, always looking to aim for the best for the company, completely leaving out work politics.
Communication
Direct and straight-forward communication contributing to a healthy team work.
Collegiality
Through the open communication and feedback culture, also paired with events organized by the company, the team grows together strongly, also across hierarchies.
Work-Life Balance
There is always time and consideration to talk about the situation one is currently in.
Leadership behavior
Rather than supervising, the feeling is more of enabling the employees to achieve their tasks and grow with them, reaching out a supportive hand when it is necessary.
Interesting tasks
Students get early and high responsibility for interesting tasks, living the company's value of task ownership. This makes working at Orbem very exciting!
Equality
Counting 7 nationalities, no feeling of discrimination or sexism has ever risen.
Interaction with older colleagues
Older colleagues are an important part of the company, using their expertise to ensure a wholesome perspective on the challenges the company faces.
Working conditions
In current times, home-office is strongly encouraged. There is a small office room for the company solely, with some more workplaces in a shared office room with other start-ups. Be prepared to use your own laptop if you are a student. The offered software solutions and workstations have high standards.
Environmental and social responsibility
It is in the DNA of the company to care about social and environmental issues. You will find this mindset in every employee you meet.
Salary/Social benefits
The salary is above-average for Munich working students, but there are surely (bigger) companies where the salary is higher when having a technical background.
Image
The image of the company is very positive through its vision of supporting the people and the planet. This is also lived exactly this way within the company, showing transparency and real commitment to this vision.
Career/Professional development
It is always possible to talk about the current responsibilities and openly discuss in which direction one wants to develop.
