Good place to work for an interim position
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
There seemed to be some kind of learning curve this year between the first round of layoffs and the second. People are now given the chance to do handovers and say goodbye, which is a step in the right direction.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
That there doesn't seem to be a strategy to turn things around and stop the downwards movement. The ship is without a captain.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Establish a culture of true transparency with your employees, they value more to hear how difficult things are and how the Roadmap to change looks like instead of hearing nothing but good news and success stories. Find out where your real value drivers are and protect those teams and their team members at all costs.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
After Sharpist cut down their headcount significantly this year, there is a lot of pressure on the remaining employees and the atmosphere has changed a lot. It used to be open and honest, now the trust is lost.
Work-Life-Balance
Depending on the team the pressure is more or less high. With the same amount of work being shouldered by lot less people the balance is off in a lot of teams.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There is no future to be built in this company. employees can make use of the Sharpist coaching.
Gehalt/Benefits
Low salary compared to similar positions in larger companies (Sharpist seems to only evaluate against other startups), requests for pay raises are being dragged along or met with disappointing offers.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The ones that are left are clinging together and lifting each other up. Great talents with awesome potential that will surely be valued by their next job.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
There are almost none
Vorgesetztenverhalten
The middle management is almost always very engaged, supportive and tries their best for their team, unfortunately the C-level is confronting them with erratic decisions and sudden policy changes, which makes effective teamwork almost impossible.
Kommunikation
What's being communicated to the public has nothing to do with the internal communication. There are regular "employee nps scores", "quarterly reviews" and "development plans", but they are with no effect. Negative feedback is being ignored, teams with an eNPS score of -70 are being told that they "are going through a phase" and instead of working with the employees towards their goals they are being transferred from one team to another without prior consultation.
