What I like about the employer

Tolles Team und großartige Kommunikation. Jeder darf Ideen mit einbringen, es wird nicht gejudged. Gute Bezahlung für Startup Unternehmen und spannende Aufgaben und Produkt.

Working atmosphere

Kann mich absolut nicht beschwere, ich arbeite wirklich jeden Tag super gerne.

Work-Life Balance

Ist gut, könnte aber besser sein, liegt aber daran, dass momentan viel Arbeit da ist.

Career/Professional development

Salary/Benefits

Für ein Start-up überdurchschnittlich gut.

Environmental and social responsibility

Ein nachhaltiges Unternehmen mit nachhaltigem Produkt.

Collegiality

Einfach top! Jeder ist da, um anderen zu helfen, es gibt keine doofen Fragen und wir unterstützen uns immer gegenseitig. Außerdem gibt es viele Brainstorming-Meetings, um seine eigenen Ideen und Vorschläge einzubringen.

Interaction with older colleagues

Super. Sowohl ältere als auch jüngere Mitarbeiter werden gleich behandelt und wertgeschätzt.

Leadership behavior

Einfach super. Es gibt kein Hierarchie Verhalten. Jeder ist per du und spricht offen mit jedem.

Working conditions

Super, man kann im Office oder von zu Hause aus arbeiten, wie man mag.

Communication

Ist tatsächlich echt viel bessere geworden, dank der neuen Struktur.

Equality

Sowohl Frau als auch Mann werden gleich behandelt.

Interesting tasks

Gibt es immer, man bekommt viel Verantwortung.

What I like about the employer

The people are a charm - because of the circumstances everyone worked hard to save the sinking ship, which wields the company together

What I dislike about the employer

* investors are doing micromanagement which hinders change and is starving the company
* new management is going on holiday as second action instead of fixing the ship. This shows a lack of urgency and is a slap into the face of the employees not gone yet.
* new management missed the chance of building trust. Instead it's carrying on with non-transparency of terminations, hiring policies or financial status.
* contract issues are always solved in the worst possible way for employees. You have to use a lawyer to get your legal rights.

Suggestions for improvement

become a contemporary company - apply a modern culture of work and treat the employees as people, not resources - it's the only way to save the ones which have not left yet

Working atmosphere

* too much work for too few people
* worries of employees are not taking seriously
* people get the feeling of just working so the investors can do the exit, but no to grow as a company
* most long time employees (+2 years) have left and people usually don't stay longer then a year
* top down-mentality

Work-Life Balance

* heavily depends on the type of job
* over hours are expected
* remote work has been abolished recently
* people with family can mostly adjust their schedule to fit family needs

Environmental and social responsibility

* trash separation
* in the old days the company looked for green IT, now it's only "the cheapest wins"

Career/Professional development

Collegiality

* colleagues work together where possible and have a good climate
* mostly trustful and friendly interactions
* as always, there are some bad apples on the tree

Leadership behavior

* leadership worked more as wrong-way-drivers then leading
* suggestions for improvement are dismissed
* even investors were disappointed by management skills
* non-transparency is a key tool
* people providing feedback are less favored compared to "silent ones"
* unwanted employees are actively driven out
* understanding of the high tech/people/organizational-debt is rising too slowly

Working conditions

* everybody gets a MacBook (can be good or bad, depending on department)
* new office offers space for everyone
* nice terrace for after work beer

Communication

* communication works most of the times in the departments, but not across the departments.
* the company is structured on three silos instead of one team, which fosters segregation
* "Not my department" mentality has been improved, but is still heavily woven into the company and its products and services

Salary/Benefits

* no competitive salary
* salary raises are a joke (either non-existent or way below inflation)
* salary split between C-Level and rest of company is way to high and nowhere justified

* 27 days of holiday

Equality

* new CEO is female, a sign for change
* amount of women is increasing
* very international team

Interesting tasks

* strategy shift caused many interesting topics to be dropped (but it was necessary to do so)
* topics are centered around repairing a sinking ship, so it can stay barely afloat and not being agents of change
* obvious contemporary or modern solutions require too much time to adapt and/or are dismissed as too expensive

Working atmosphere

very supportive culture even in remote only times, incredible lovely team throughout the company, but currently a lot in the process of reorganization

Work-Life Balance

Yes there is a lot of work but I couldn't have wished for a more flexible employer during the pandemic. Colleagues with families abroad also get great opportunities to work remotely.

Career/Professional development

Environmental and social responsibility

Very important topic that unfortunately does not receive enough attention

Collegiality

The company grew a lot last year, not everyone liked the change and left. but the hard core is still there and the new ones have brought in a lot of fresh air that the company really needed. The old learn from the new and vice versa, it's really a very supportive community.

Leadership behavior

The management is still growing into its role itself, but at least they are trying their best and are always on an equal footing.

Working conditions

The company moved in December, still a lot to do.

Communication

Regular exchange throughout the company but room for improvement

Equality

The quota of women has increased significantly in the last 2 years, also in the IT department. But there is still room for improvement on management level.

Interesting tasks

Wide playground for own ideas. I have grown a lot from the professional challenges in the last two years, which I would never have been able to do in a corporate.

Working atmosphere

People work alone from home

Image

hardware quality is not good

Career/Professional development

Salary/Benefits

a lot of promises are not kept like bonus etc. pp.

Collegiality

none as people work form home, a lot of people leave during first 6 months

Interaction with older colleagues

average age is 30-35 maybe

Leadership behavior

there's not really any bosses, so not existent.

Working conditions

mainly old laptops, rooms are usually untidy, no clean desks.

Interesting tasks

job content change month to month, even things you haven't applied for.
