Good luck to everybody
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr für dieses Unternehmen in Berlin gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
There's not much left
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Goes beyond the scope here
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Stop being led by investors. Most of them are not interested in employees but in money.
Managers should also be trained in good employee management.
Stop with the sectarian talk like we want to build an Olympic sports team. Only driver no passer.
Stop having reviews deleted. Own up to it and simply do better in the future.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The working atmosphere was simply a dream - if you love nightmares. Some of the colleagues were a prime example of teamwork, successfully ignoring each other, and the managers obviously had a talent for systematically destroying motivation. Every day was a celebration - a tragedy, but consistent all the same.
Image
Another good quote: Image is not a chop that you can tie to your leg. You either have it or you don't.
Work-Life-Balance
Remote first contract with 2 mandatory days a week for some teams. Find the mistake.
It's probably better since the restructuring that the company just doesn't want to talk about
Karriere/Weiterbildung
A career is like a game of mario - if you don't jump at exactly the right moment, you fall into the abyss.
Gehalt/Benefits
The only thing that was really good
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
As a cult character from a German series says: "Environmental awareness? Yes, of course! I do everything ecologically now too: I separate my garbage, smoke in the parking lot so that nature gets something out of it - I'm basically the A I Gore of Capitol!"
Kollegenzusammenhalt
In the Team good, but most of the rest are a real role model for interpersonal coldness - even the North Pole would have applauded.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
There are hardly any employees over 40
Vorgesetztenverhalten
If there was an Olympic discipline for micromanagement, everyone would definitely win gold Team lead. Making decisions without involving the team? A true master at it! Feedback meetings are also always a highlight for us - praise? Of course, it's given in homeopathic doses so that we don't take it for granted.
But I think the best motto is: 'My door is always open' - but only for air and the illusion of accessibility. All in all, it's a parade of how to effectively demotivate employees. Hats off!"
Arbeitsbedingungen
Working here is a real experience - overtime, of course, is not only tolerated here, but apparently a prerequisite for belonging. If you work effectively and in a structured manner and can finish work on time, you will be looked at with shock.
Kommunikation
Communication was absolutely exemplary - if the aim was not to clarify anything with each other. Information was either passed on in cryptic hints or was lost directly before it could reach anyone. Meetings? A masterpiece of wasted time, where everyone ended up knowing less than before. Really impressive.
Gleichberechtigung
Only as an introvert you not that welcome

Heaven for IT/Product - Hell for commercial departments
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr für dieses Unternehmen in Berlin gearbeitet.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The impression was that product development was stagnating.
Minimal features were introduced within a year even though IT/Product were overstaffed, sometimes without communicating them with other teams. Sometimes you had meetings with customers and were surprised by them yourself.
Nevertheless, these departments enjoyed the most freedom and felt like they had the freedom of a fool.
The pressure in the commercial departments was enormous. A lot of micromanagement and management decisions based on gut feeling. It got worse and worse as product development stagnated.
Fulfillment or overperformance were at most acknowledged by management. But there was no shortage of criticism if you had a bad month.
Image
Already much burned on the market - thanks to poor product
Work-Life-Balance
Home office was offered, but with strict controls, especially for the commercial departments. It was still expected that you would be happy to come into the office for checks and more micromanagement.
For IT and Product, there was almost only home office and workation. Onsite only for team events with games etc. - Heaven!
Karriere/Weiterbildung

Gehalt/Benefits
Low base salary for SaaS but good if you pass targets
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Kollegenzusammenhalt
Really enjoyed working with my close colleagues. Team overlap is virtually non-existent.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Petty, toxic and irrational
Arbeitsbedingungen
Good equipment
Kommunikation
Not available only within the team

Strong agenda from HR that does not ensure equality
Interessante Aufgaben
For what is promised and required in the recruiting process and by the candidates a joke.
Super monotonous only alternating when irrational changes are made by a founder again

Toxic start-up environment - avoid to work here!
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat bis 2024 im Bereich Vertrieb / Verkauf in Berlin gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Sales team before layoff
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Toxic working atmosphere, incompetent upper management, celebrating low performers
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Change the management team, hire a fair and capable HR team and create a working product.
Dont let highperformers go. Dont just hire someone because of his or her gender but of the capabilities and qualification of the person.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Unfortunately I had to change some true passages due to a complaint
Apart from the mood in the sales team due to permanent overperformance, the mood in the company was characterized by the celebration of memes and trivialities in various pointless weekly meetings. This was before a personal layoff crusade initiated by one of the incompetent founders who took over the commercial department after nearly everyone got fired ,supported by a toxic, radically vegan/feminist HR and a newly hired VP Account Management who carried everything but havent worked in a similar position for years!
Image
A lot is being done to create a great image.
It's also difficult to tell customers how badly the product actually works
The layoff has burned the name in the start-up scene.
Work-Life-Balance
A lot of home office possible and freedom under the former management team in sales.
After layoff and takeover by a founder only micromanagement and time clock feeling.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
One external workshop otherwise a lot of hard work and dedication from the sales team
Gehalt/Benefits
Salary was good if you overperformed. You get some Esop if you are lucky enough to stay some time but keep in mind you can be terminated at any time even if you achieve your quotas. For the commercial departments therefore not really a benefit you can count on.
Very unfair pay for individual team members and departments.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
We were encouraged to travel a lot and also celebrated in meetings when managers from South East Asia or vacation islands were invited. The whole company was invited to parties on ships or abroad. Air conditioning systems were operated with the windows open.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
With a few exceptions, one of the best, most effective and most successful sales teams I have ever worked in.
Unfortunately, half of them were made redundant in one fell swoop.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
There's hardly anyone else over 40.
But no consideration is given to them.
All that matters is the well-being of female colleagues and generation self-fulfillment without performance.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
C-Level is responsible for an inhumane layoff due to personal differences.
It's generally stuck to people who just say yes, send memes, pretend to work hard in their workation or if you burn a lot of money for the company.
If you show commitment, bring numbers and think for yourself, you are always on the hit list.
Until the end, no management style was recognizable or decisions were made rationally.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The old office was very modern and you got good work equipment. There was also a fridge and a fruit basket if HR mangaged to fill it properly.
Kommunikation
If you like 20 tools and more than 3 communication channels, you've come to the right place.
Gleichberechtigung
If you don't submit to HR's agenda, you'll have a hard time, especially as a man. Things are simply insinuated, meetings are booked or anonymous complaints are invented.
HR pushes a feminist agenda with hatred for white, male colleagues regardless of sexuality.
Every opportunity, whether it's a company party, game night or lunch, is used to try to get people to adopt a vegan lifestyle and no alternatives were offered.
Interessante Aufgaben
The task was very monotonous, as the product doesn't have much to do with SaaS and is very simple.
Cold calling in the morning, demos in the afternoon. Meeting with the company and next week all over again.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone to work here.
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr im Bereich Vertrieb / Verkauf in Berlin gearbeitet.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
The founder duo and the overall leadership team need to be reconsidered.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The work atmosphere in the sales department was unparalleled. Unfortunately, the performance and incredible successes of the sales department were always downplayed. The “successes” of other departments were consistently valued and celebrated, even though in other companies, they would have been considered significant losses.
I never felt like a part of the team in total.
Work-Life-Balance
What is outstanding is the opportunity to do home office and workation!
Unfortunately, the commercial founder deliberately ensures that working hours are strictly monitored, and messages being sent during weekends, etc.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
No opportunity for professional growth.
There is no one to learn from, and no chance to attain a higher title.
Gehalt/Benefits
The salary is good, but only if the targets are achievable. Bonus structures seem to be constantly adjusted, as are pricing models, which directly impact the ability to meet those targets. The founder doesn’t understand why the team “earns so much money” and expects everyone to prioritize the company over their own salary.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
The air conditioning runs while the windows are open, a massive office space is available, but less than half of it is used—yet it is still heated and lit.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The team cohesion in the sales department is outstanding, but it is nonexistent with other departments.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Catastrophic leadership behavior, including micromanagement. Decision-making processes are neither transparent nor rational.
Goals are unattainable, and failure to achieve them is carried on the backs of employees, who pay for the leadership’s incompetence through their lost bonuses.
Kommunikation
It is often said that communication is the most important thing. At PowerUs, however, it’s more about pretending to communicate.
The teams communicate extremely poorly with each other, relying on countless tools that often lead to miscommunication or go nowhere.
The worst communication, however, is with the founder responsible for the commercial department.
Interessante Aufgaben
The work was highly repetitive, as the product is straightforward and has little to do with SaaS.
Simple product that is not really evolving and simple customers.

Typical Berlin Start-Up
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat bis 2024 im Bereich Marketing / Produktmanagement in Berlin gearbeitet.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Even as a start-up, the company should prioritize establishing solid structures and clear communication.
Restructuring and layoffs are always challenging but should be addressed proactively. This doesn’t mean creating unnecessary panic but rather fostering transparency and open communication with employees.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Open reception and a pleasant working atmosphere in the office. The hardware is excellent, and remote work is no problem either.
Work-Life-Balance
A big positive is the freedom you have in organizing your work. As long as your performance remains above average and you complete your projects, you can structure your tasks as you see fit.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Career advancement is only possible with a strong relationship with the lead.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Managers are unaware of their responsibilities and often lack the experience or ability to effectively lead a team. This is typical for Start-ups, where rapid promotions often result from networking rather than proven skills. While feedback mechanisms exist, they tend to lack clarity and directness.
Managers frequently appear overwhelmed, especially when it comes to delivering constructive or critical feedback. They often enjoy the benefits of a managerial role but shy away from addressing uncomfortable issues —hardly a display of strong leadership qualities. Additionally, a lack of structure and focus is common, with key topics and meetings often overlooked or poorly managed.
Kommunikation
The communication within the team is decent but has room for improvement. The manager struggles to provide direct and straightforward feedback; it’s often vague and lacks the clarity needed to take actionable steps. There is a noticeable lack of managerial qualities.
Interessante Aufgaben
The level of flexibility largely depends on the department you work in. However, since the focus is primarily on the same client, the scope for variety in daily tasks can be somewhat limited. At the same time, the start-up offers a great opportunity to drive change, as established processes and clear structures are still being developed.

typisches Berliner Startup - vieles im Aufbau
Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung im Bereich Vertrieb / Verkauf in Berlin gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
lockere Atmosphäre, nette Kollegen, cooles Büro, gutes Produkt
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Vergütung im Vertrieb + unrealistische Zielvorgaben
Verbesserungsvorschläge
- Strukturen schaffen
- weniger Involvement der Gründer
- es genügt nicht einfach locker zu sagen "wir haben einen Fehler gemacht" und keine großartigen Veränderungen anzustoßen.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
schickes Büro, Home office möglich, aber nicht bei allen gern gesehen, es werden Überstunden erwartet
Image
dafür dass es PowerUs schon eine Weile gibt und sie erfolgreich sind, relativ unbekannt
Work-Life-Balance
man sollte keine 40h - Stunden-Woche erwarten...
Karriere/Weiterbildung
man kann über das Portal Soft-Skills-Kurse machen...
Gehalt/Benefits
Gehälter zwar angehoben, aber im Branchenvergleich ist da noch Luft nach oben, Compensation Plan naja...
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Kollegen sind top!!
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
gab keine älteren Kollegen
Vorgesetztenverhalten

Kommunikation
Die Gründer scheinen keine klare Strategie zu verfolgen bzw. sie zu kommunizieren. Viele Experimente, die auf Kosten der Mitarbeiter ausgetragen werden
