Poor engineering quality for a software company
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Put more focus on creating a good product instead of trying to maximize sales. Hire experienced leaders in the tech departments to establish an actual engineering culture. Don't treat your developers like pawns in a chess game.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Passion (at least in the development team) has declined constantly over the whole time I have been here. In general, the past year has been dominated by struggles, adding uncertainty and stress. The current goals and orientation of the company don't seem clear to most people outside of management.
Kommunikation
reev boasts transparency as one of its values, and in certain areas, this is lived quite well. However, it often requires team members to proactively ask for information (which they might not even know exists, see the problem?).
A lot of decisions regarding team structure (of which there have been a lot in recent months, particularly in the product/dev area) feel rushed, not thought to the end and not communicated properly.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Depends on the team, but overall pretty good
Work-Life-Balance
Pressure on development teams isn't very high, working times are quite flexible allowing people to work at a pace that works for them.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
There is little engineering culture due to a lack of competent management. Lots of relatively inexperienced tech lead and managers. There are a few exceptionally skilled people in the dev team, however they can only push so much change, and a lot of the development team isn't very engaged, few people speak in all-hands meeting and it's always the same few that bring up suggestions and are trying to drive change
Interessante Aufgaben
Some of the dev teams have quite interesting topics that go beyond the usual CRUD operations, but this is largely team dependent
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
salary seems below industry average, no transparent ranges for positions. Talk about salary is discouraged. From discussions with others it became clear to me that salary raises are also quite random, the better networked and more outspoken ones seem to get raises, while others have worked here for years with the salary never being touched.
The amount of vacation days is below industry standard, and there is a mandatory vacation between Christmas and New Year's, further reducing the amount of PTO available for free use. No options for unpaid vacations either.
Quite a few non-cash benefits such as JobRad, Deutschlandticket, gym membership as well as company pension plan available
Karriere/Weiterbildung
recently a career progression framework has been introduced, it remains to be seen how effective it is
