Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

- Nice colleagues
- Free food (e. g. waffles, pizza) and beverages
- Modern equipment and fast IT

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

- Forced non-organic "growth" (meaning: employing more than 500 people at any cost) and the resulting unclear burocratic structures
- Unclear strategy and/or sudden changes of strategy which a had constant impact on the daily work
- Constant changes in department and team structure (even for a start-up)
- Founders still seem to be heavily involved in the daily operative business (e. g. constantly tagging people in teams and/or jira) and can't let go.
- Non-transparent lay-offs (e.g. people were laid off after they received a good performance review)

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Negative within team because of unfinished projects, lay-offs and lack of strategy.

Kommunikation

Within my team I experienced transparent, fast and goal-orientated communication. Unfortunatly, the communication with my department leaders was difficult because they did not seem to be involved in important discussions and/or did not communicate departmentwide repercussions and changes in a transparent and open way. The communication from the management/c-level improved a bit over the last year (e. g. shorter companywide information calls with less irrelevant information). The communication within the whole organization suffered from the fact that there were too many communication tools in use (intranet, chats and channels in ms teams, confluence, jira ...).

Interessante Aufgaben

Interesting projects and initiatives. Unfortunatly, the majority is never completed.

Gleichberechtigung

While there are female leaders ("female rockstars" in SoSafe-language), the c-level is predominantly male. When asked why the top management is not really diverse one founder answered that SoSafe would only hire the best.

Arbeitsbedingungen

The new office in Cologne is well equipped.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Each employee has an access to Udemy, a corporate learning platform. In 2022 employees had the possibility to book trainings by external providers.

Arbeitgeber-Kommentar

SoSafe GmbH

Thank you for your review! Although you seem to have left us in an unhappy way, we still appreciate your feedback. We will be reviewing some of the points you raised, ideally you would provide some more detail to feedback@sosafe.de (e.g. about the unfinished projects you are refering to).

What we would like to dispute though, is the claim of inorganic growth/wanting to get to 500 employees "at any cost" - this is simply not true and would also not make any economical sense on its own.

Regarding diversity and getting more female leaders into the top ranks: as stated internally on several occasions, this is something we as a company are deeply committed to. At the same time, we of course also always want to find the best candidate to do the job - and unfortunately cannot change the overall gender mix in the SaaS top management talent pool on our own. We try to shift this with several activities to attract more female leaders into our processes (e.g with active parts in Women in Tech events, targeted job ads, etc) and highlighting the work of our many female leaders across the org internally as well as externally.

Thank you and all the best for your future career!
Your SoSafe People team
