Bad leadership is killing this company, unfortunately
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Good idea, nice product, and (at least back then) a great team with a lot of smart people, although about 80% of that team have left the company since then.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Incredibly bad leadership. Founder team has no leadership experience and/or training, and it shows. Lack of empathy, no social skills (communication, motivation, people management) and bad business decisions. This lead to micromanagement and a lot of conflicts and frictions within the team, resulting in a very high fluctuation.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Change leadership team/approach, leadership training for CEO
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Felt very toxic at times, especially because of bad leadership, micromanagement, and unrealistic goals
Work-Life-Balance
Good, especially thanks to a fully-remote set-up and rather flexible working hours
Karriere/Weiterbildung
No real opportunities for career growth within the company and no established structure/framework for further training
Gehalt/Benefits
The salary was okay and social benefits were great, including international private health insurance, vouchers for food and public transport, yearly budget for new hardware, and more.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Team spirit and atmosphere within the "normal" teams was mostly okay, depending on the team. However, the relationship with leadership was difficult and created a lot of friction throughout the company.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
It was a very young team, so that's not really relevant
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Middle management: great. C-level: not great.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Company is fully-remote and doesn't have an office but offers access to co-working spaces
Gleichberechtigung
No issues here. It felt like everyone was welcomed regardless of their gender, race, or sexual orientation
Interessante Aufgaben
Repetitive and boring tasks, leaving little room for creativity
