A supportive and flexible workplace with opportunities for growth
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Overall, the work atmosphere is relaxed, respectful, collaborative, and non-competitive.
Work-Life-Balance
Pets Deli has a nice office and offers the flexibility to work from home. Working hours are also quite flexible (without fixed start or end time), which supports a healthy work-life balance. There is also a lot of flexibility when it comes to holidays.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Everyone has the opportunity to grow professionally, and there are regular career development feedback sessions that are very well structured. The only drawback is that the timeline for progression is sometimes unclear, and it can feel like it takes quite a long time to reach the next step.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Personally, I would like to see greater environmental awareness in some areas, for example, when ordering food, as monoportions are not ideal. Other aspects could include promoting initiatives to reduce energy and resource consumption, although this also depends on the individual responsibility of each employee.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
From my experience, I can happily say that the supervisor does not micromanage. There is a high level of flexibility and trust, as long as outcomes are delivered. Regular weekly or bi-weekly meetings provide an opportunity to discuss tasks as well as more personal or “human” topics.
Arbeitsbedingungen
We have a very nice office in Prenzlauer Berg, and since moving in, our P&C team has put a lot of effort into making it as cozy and welcoming as possible. Some spaces, such as the kitchen, can feel a bit small when the office is full, but since we also have the option to work from home, this is not a major issue.
Kommunikation
Communication really depends on the team. With some teams, it works smoothly and efficiently, while with others there is definitely room for improvement, which can sometimes be frustrating. However, there is always the opportunity to address these issues openly and eventually find the best solution together.
Interessante Aufgaben
Usually, the work and tasks are distributed fairly. If something isn’t going as it should, or if the workload feels unbalanced, colleagues are always open to sitting down together and reviewing it.
