No work-life balance or stability in any department
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Like in any startup you gain a lot of skills at a very fast pace.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The constant restructuring, the pay is not in line with other companies, and the fact that sudden decisions can be made that completely turns a project on its head.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Frequent restructuring of departments needs to stop. If a large change needs it be made then the people implementing it need to take Change Management courses to learn how to do this properly. There needs to be proper oversight and a more structure approach. Currently, the approach very much feels like its "let them figure it out".
Arbeitsatmosphäre
It is a tense environment where expectations are that people are high performers. Employees will be worked well overtime, good employees will be rewarded with more work. Hard work is only rewarded with a "golden cell award" which they give every quarter. However, in the last few quarters this has only been given to people who have been asked to solve issues in other departments (as they are also very short staffed). Massive restructuring is communicated via announcements (emails or meetings) but no follow up afterwards or implementation plan. You may be have applied for one position and have been switched to another team with no warning.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Constant misrepresentation of results shown during the end of quarter presentation. This is probably because there are investors present in these presentations. This means that people in different departments are often out of the loop in what is happening in other departments.
Work-Life-Balance
There is none. Expectations of so-called "high performers" is the person is constantly available.
Interessante Aufgaben
Like at any startup you will absolutely gain a large set of skills as you will likely be involved in many topics. However, onboarding is really poor so learning requires a person to be very self-driven. Likely, why they want "high performers".
Gleichberechtigung
The C-suite at the moment has no women in their numbers.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
There are few people in the company that have stayed beyond 5 years. Many leave after 13 months. I would say of the few people that have stayed for long they are greatly respected by all.
Gehalt/Benefits
The responsibilities change often and the salary does not often change to reflect this. Getting a raise is difficult even after you have taken on more responsibilities and proved you can do it.

There are few people who will privately speak well of the company, particularly if they have worked there for more than 6 months.
