A sinking ship - a good team is left to drown
Former ManagerDid no longer work for this company in Berlin, Berlin at the time of review.
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
* training budget depends on the department
* career opportunities depend on department
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

Good place for professional growth
Former EmployeeDid no longer work for this company in Berlin, Berlin at the time of review.
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
Since this year, there is a training budget. What I really enjoyed at Sensorberg was the possibility to get insights across departments and also try out new things professionally. Android developers have already become hardware specialists and project managers have been able to actively participate in sales. But for that you have to be proactive!
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.

It's more appearance than substance
Worked for this company in Berlin, Berlin at the time of review.
Suggestions for improvement
Try hire leader with leadership skills.
Working atmosphere
Working Remotely, so no bonding to different teams, obviously. The managers were more concerned with making their own mark than with the welfare of the employees.
Work-Life Balance
Some people do lots of overhours.
Environmental and social responsibility
No waste separation, no investment in sustainability. The homepage doesn’t even mention it. No job ticket or rent a bike ticket for the colleagues.
Leadership behavior
No goodbye for voluntary leavers. Communication skills are incredibly bad.
Communication
We have an all-hands, where everything is about how much money we still didn’t raise.
Equality
Almost all on top are male managers.
