Cool place to work with friendly colleagues!
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Lots of benefits for a rather small company:
- Flexible office hours
- Snacks and drinks
- Regular team events
- Generous off-site retreats
- Deutschlandticket
- Wellpass
- Corporate benefits
- I’ve heard you can also ask for a partially childcare subsidy, since childcare in Munich is often difficult to find and can be expensive
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The overall work atmosphere at QYOBO is very good. All colleagues are always friendly and helpful. When there are “unpleasant” topics to discuss, we can openly share our thoughts and challenge one another.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
QYOBO isn't a large team, so there isn't a typical hierarchical career ladder to climb. Still, I feel that you can advance your career thanks to the opportunities for personal development.
Gehalt/Benefits
I feel fairly paid.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
When it comes to sustainability, there’s definitely room for improvement (better waste sorting, buying more local products).
QYOBO offers to cover the cost of the Deutschlandticket, which in turn encourages the use of public transportation and indirectly contributes to overall sustainability.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Very good, nothing to add.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The office is spacious and quite clean. But it is an open-plan office, which I personally don’t really like (though that’s a matter of taste). For an open-plan office, however, it’s pleasantly quiet and a comfortable place to work.
But there aren’t quite enough meeting rooms, and since the kitchen is in the same room as the desks, you’re practically forced to eat at the same time as others, since it’s otherwise hard to concentrate..
But since you can also work from home, it’s okay overall.
Kommunikation
Overall, communication is very good and open. Thanks to the large open-plan office, communication channels are usually very short, but when working from home, Slack is also used extensively.
Cross-departmental communication could still be improved in a few areas, for example by scheduling regular meetings once a month or so.
Interessante Aufgaben
The pharmaceutical industry is unique: on the one hand, it’s a fascinating niche that never ceases to surprise me. On the other hand, it’s also still a fairly conservative, old-fashioned industry, which is why you often can’t compare the work there to that of a trendy (e-commerce or similiar area) company, and that sometimes makes it feel a bit “boring.”
