The onboarding process was exceptionally smooth. I had the opportunity to explore multiple codebases and gain a clear understanding of the business model. The Returns team has been incredibly supportive and always available whenever I encounter any blockers.
None at the moment
Young, engaged and supportive team, great off-site events where we can network and connect with colleagues from around the world, very international atmosphere, regardless in which city / country you live; many possibilities to bring in your ideas, thoughts and suggestions for improvement. If you are motivated, you can bring forward a lot of internal projects and initiatives.
There is a certain pressure of always performing since we are still a scale-up which can be stressful at times.
Keep on improving and taking the employee feedback seriously. This helps to build our trust and buy-in to parcelLab. Also, I would suggest to improve feedback cycles within teams and across teams (360-degree feedback), so people can really improve their work.
The atmosphere is super relaxed, open-minded and everyone can reach out to anyone in the company. I think this is one of the great advantages of working at parcelLab.
Usually we receive a positive feedback from customers / clients with regards to our product, team and services. Outside of the eCommerce sector, the company is not very known.
As we do not track our working hours, we are of course responsible ourselves to also track this and discuss with our team managers if it gets too much. There are peak times where it gets intense, but overall I would say I can balance my working and private life very well. Especially since we have flexible working hours. So, as long as you do your work and attend meetings where you're required, you can structure your working day as you wish. Whether you have to pick up children, have a doctor's appointment or just want to go for a walk during lunch time - all of this is usually possible without any problems.
There are options to progress your career and efforts to have a more structured performance review + growth process. The career opportunities are of course limited compared to a large enterprise. The training could still be a bit more fostered and supported if people ask for it.
Definitely great team work. Whenever you ask for help, someone will help you. Of course, since we are mostly working remotely, the help is going a lot through digital channels, but if you are fine with a-synchronous work, you will always find a helping hand. This is something I value very much of working at parcelLab.
Looking at it today, this has improved a lot in the past few months. I still think managers could receive more training in regards to people skills and being a good leader, but overall there is an attempt at getting the right people for the leading positions as parcelLab recognizes this has a high impact on whether employees are staying or not.
This is something that can be improved with regards to transparency from higher management. However, this has been addressed many times and I feel like the managers have heard this critique and try to improve it. So, I have seen a lot of positive progress with regards to open and transparent communication from management.
Can't complain
Since we are still a growing startup, the work I do today already changed compared to what I did one or two years ago. I still learn something new every day and still have the feeling there is more to come. So far, I did not get bored doing my weekly tasks. This is my overall feeling, of course there are also tasks you do not enjoy doing or that are repetitive. But that is not the majority of the work I do.
All the benefits I have, the flexibility, the opportunity to find exciting projects besides my day to day job, the regular off-sites in amazing locations like Madeira, Lanzarote or Barcelona, and the list goes on.
Keep listening to your employees.
There is a ton to mention here: For me personally I value the flexibility and freedom we have: I can decide when I'm working, from where I'm working but I could also live in Munich and go into the office on a daily basis.
There can be busy times when workload will be higher, which is not a surprise in sales and the same for all SaaS businesses.
Similar to the feedback on the communication, parcelLab's upper management listened to the feedback and has improved tremendously over the past year and introduced transparency when it comes to personal and professional development.
Candid feedback is appreciated all the time.
In the past, this hasn't been a core strength of parcelLab, the upper management has listened to the feedback and you can clearly see an improvement here.
I've been very pro-active when it comes to tasks besides the daily job, parcelLab appreciates this motivation and there is always more than enough to get involved in.
Work culture.
Expensive gatherings.
Some perks can be added to make it even better. More paid vacation. Better pension pay.
They have built a great work culture that makes a good atmosphere.
Environment-friendly and social activities are part of culture.
Very often there are company gatherings. There is also budget for each team for coming together.
This
top.
Even though its 100% remote there is a very good communication thanks to the protocols and the work culture.
We can very often define interesting tasks ourselves.
People are marvellous in parcelLab
Flexible Termingestaltung und jeden Tag kann man etwas neues lernen, es gibt spannende Projekte an denen man wachsen kann. Junges und dynamisches Umfeld und super schöne Offsites.
Cool offsites, great and chill people
Die Gründer arbeiten immer noch im Unternehmen und sind mit allem sehr gut vernetzt
Die Menschen fühlen sich motiviert und feuern sich gegenseitig an, um ihre Ziele zu erreichen. Es gibt immer etwas zu lernen und das gefällt mir.
Das gefällt mir am besten, weil ich an einem Tag um 15 Uhr in den Supermarkt gehen oder früher Feierabend machen kann und niemand erwartet, dass man die ganze Zeit am Computer sitzt. Wichtig ist nur, transparent zu sein und zu lernen, wie man seine Aufgaben priorisieren kann, damit die Leute wissen, was man sich erwartet kann.
Ich hatte mehrere Karrieregespräche mit meinem Vorgesetzten und sie scheinen wirklich daran interessiert zu sein, dass ich mich verbessere und mit der Zeit zu einem Experten werde.
Seit diesem Jahr gibt es einen Gehaltsüberprüfungsprozess, was gut ist, da das Gehalt mindestens einmal im Jahr überprüft wird, und wir werden ermutigt, uns auf Gehaltsgespräche vorzubereiten.
Ich bin zufrieden mit den Menschen, mit denen ich jeden Tag zusammenarbeite, sie sind nett und vernünftig. Wir haben jedes Jahr Teambuildings an coolen Orten, und das ist großartig, weil ich die Leute treffen kann, mit denen ich zusammenarbeite, was eine Verbindung herstellt.
Die Teams sind super vielfältig und die Arbeitsstile sind unterschiedlich. Manchmal bewegen sich die Dinge zu schnell, um Schritt zu halten, aber es wird mit der Zeit besser.
Compensation is very competitive, and remote work and flexible hours allow great work-life balance. parcelLab is not perfect (any employer is) but they make impressive efforts to implement constant improvement.

Verbesserung im Management, speziell im Sales Management!
Als Mitarbeiter wird man rein nach Zahlen (OKRs) bewertet, Menschlichkeit im Umgang mit den Mitarbeitern fehlt komplett. Wenn man die vorgegebenen Ziele nicht erfüllt (egal aus welchem Grund), kann es sein, dass man versetzt oder gar gekündigt wird.
Katastrophal! Man hat mir kurz nach meinem Start bei parcelLab eine neue Rolle im Unternehmen angeboten, welche ich zuversichtlich angenommen hatte. Ich hätte meine Commission ausbezahlt bekommen, jedoch wurde ich nur mit lächerlichen Aussagen vertröstet.. als ich dann öfters und öfters danach gefragt hatte, speziell dadurch das ich mehr geliefert habe als man von mir erwartet hat, hat man mir kurz vor dem Ende der Probezeit mitgeteilt, dass ich doch kein 'guter Fit' für das Unternehmen wäre und wurde somit ohne weiteres Kommentar oder Grund entlassen.. und natürlich hatte ich nie etwas von meiner Commission gesehen.
So verdient kununu Geld.
