Working for this company feels like lost years and lost mental health.
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat bis 2026 im Bereich IT in München gearbeitet.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
This is a lost cause. They've been in business for more than 10 years, and it's only getting worse.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Absolutely terrible. Dead silence where no one talks to anyone.
Work-Life-Balance
Non-existent. You will be "watched" whatever you do. And God forbid you do something else but watch your screen while you're clocked in, an email will be waiting for you the next morning.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Do not expect any real growth here. Management uses the promise of promotions as bait. They will deliberately drag the process out indefinitely, feeding you lies and false hope to keep you working hard. In the end, the promotion never actually happens. It is a completely stagnant environment that will only hold you back. And this is the case for 7-8 employees, out of 12.
Gehalt/Benefits
Salary is below average.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
It is impossible to build a strong team spirit when everyone is constantly subjected to an oppressive culture. People are too stressed, intimidated, and burned out to interact naturally. Because no one talks to anyone, you feel completely isolated. It is an environment designed to keep people divided. Their goal for the year was to get rid of all "old" employees so that they don't "contaminate" the newer ones - in this, they succeeded.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Condescending, lying, false promises, postponing serious conversations that you want to have.... the list goes on.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The office building is ok, the location is ok.
Kommunikation
Communication from the top down is based entirely on deceit. Management lies openly to staff, and because the overall atmosphere is so oppressive, the result is a tense, uncomfortable "graveyard" silence in the office. There is no healthy exchange of ideas or transparent updates.
Gleichberechtigung
Groups are formed, dividing employees into German and non-German. I have personally heard bad gossip from the German groups. I suppose they thought no one understood them.
Interessante Aufgaben
In the beginning there were some interesting tasks, but as the company is not getting new clients and everything is sinking, the tasks started to feel "made up" just to have you do something and look at the screen.

Applicants: get honest insights from current employees — the internal reality does not match the story told by HR.
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat bis 2025 im Bereich Vertrieb / Verkauf in München gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The CTO is the only person who genuinely cares. He is extremely dedicated, works incredibly hard, and puts his whole heart into the product. He is responsible for an overwhelming amount of tasks and is constantly trying to fix the issues created by the owners. Unfortunately, he is limited in what he can achieve because many of his efforts are blocked or overruled. Still, his commitment and passion stand out as one of the few positive aspects of the company.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Management behavior was one of the biggest problems — constant overruling, unkept promises, and an overall lack of professionalism. The atmosphere in the company became increasingly negative, with employees feeling stressed, unsupported, and often intimidated. HR did not act as a partner for employees but instead contributed to the tension by spreading negativity and blaming staff.
There was no transparency in salaries, unequal treatment between departments, and a strict, mistrustful approach to time tracking. Career development was practically nonexistent, and despite the company’s positive external image, the internal reality looked completely different. Combined with the lack of meaningful benefits and poor long-term planning, it created a workplace that felt insecure, unfair, and emotionally draining.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
A complete cultural reset is needed. Leadership should focus on rebuilding trust, communicating transparently, and treating employees with respect. Promises should only be made when they can realistically be kept. HR needs to act as a supportive partner rather than a source of pressure or negativity.
Clear structures, realistic planning, and a long-term strategy would help reduce frustration and uncertainty. Equal treatment across all departments — especially regarding remote work — is essential. Introducing meaningful employee benefits, investing in professional development, and addressing ongoing office issues would also make a noticeable difference.
Above all, the company should take employee feedback seriously and stop ignoring or dismissing concerns. Without these changes, it will be very difficult to attract or retain good people.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The working atmosphere was very strained. The team spirit was gradually broken by management decisions, so in the end everyone just stared at their screens, did their tasks, and left as soon as possible. There was hardly any sense of community left – it often felt more like sitting in a rowing boat under constant pressure than working in a motivated team.
Image
The company’s external image does not match the internal reality. Online and in job postings they present themselves as a friendly employer and an innovative, game-changing company. In practice, it was one of the worst workplace experiences I’ve had. The original idea behind the product was good, but the company missed its chance to turn it into real success. The strong contrast between the polished public image and the actual work environment was very disappointing.
Work-Life-Balance
Work–life balance was very poor. Employees were required to be present for exactly eight hours, and even minimal deviations resulted in warnings at the beginning of the following month. Time tracking was enforced extremely strictly and monitored in a way that added pressure rather than trust. Overtime was not valued either — if you accumulated more than five hours, anything beyond that was automatically deleted, which made extra effort feel pointless.
Even though I rarely worked longer than the required hours, the overall atmosphere was so negative and stressful that it affected my personal well-being. Especially on Sundays, I often felt sick and anxious about going back to work, which had a noticeable impact on my private life.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There are no real opportunities for career growth. Management often claimed that employees would “grow with the company,” but this never happened. In reality, the company is declining, and staying there feels more like wasting time than developing professionally. You might receive a different job title, but your tasks stay the same, and there is no form of structured training or meaningful development. You stagnate rather than progress.
Gehalt/Benefits
You have to fight hard to receive a fair salary. Anyone who doesn’t actively negotiate or push for better conditions ends up being paid significantly less than others in comparable roles. Although management repeatedly promised to introduce more transparency around salaries, this was never implemented.
Aside from the salary, there are essentially no benefits. Nothing meaningful is offered to employees, and the occasional fruit basket felt more like a joke than a real perk.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
In the beginning, we had an amazing team with many talented and genuinely nice people. However, over time the team spirit was severely damaged by management. Toward the end, most conversations revolved around how bad the situation had become and how to somehow get out of it. New colleagues were not integrated well into the team. Even though the company is very small, management still managed to create divisions, resulting in different groups forming. As a result, healthy interaction and real collaboration were no longer present.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Leadership behavior was one of the biggest issues in the company. The CEO had very limited authority, as the owners frequently overruled his decisions. As a result, many of the promises he made could not be kept, which repeatedly led to frustration and conflict instead of reliable guidance.
The behavior of the owners was particularly problematic. Professional boundaries were often not respected, and conversations with employees frequently involved negative comments about other colleagues or pressure rather than support. On one occasion, I even received a call while I was on sick leave that felt threatening and completely inappropriate. Overall, leadership created a climate of insecurity instead of trust.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The office itself is quite nice at first glance, but several issues made the working conditions uncomfortable. There were recurring problems with unpleasant smells in the kitchen due to ventilation issues, and the air conditioning produced a loud whistling noise that remained unresolved for a long time. The automatic window blinds also opened and closed on their own, which became a real problem during strong winds: the sun would shine directly into the office, and the only way to avoid it was to move into the darker corners of the room. Overall, these issues made the workspace far less comfortable than it should have been.
Kommunikation
Communication in the company was extremely minimal. Most conversations were limited to what was absolutely necessary, and the office was often uncomfortably quiet. Communication with management and HR was particularly difficult. Discussions with the CEO frequently turned into conflicts, especially because commitments he made were later overruled by the company owners.
HR discussions were often unhelpful and unprofessional. Instead of providing support, conversations tended to drift into negative comments about other colleagues or blaming individuals for the company’s struggles.
Gleichberechtigung
Equality largely depended on whether you had already fallen out of favor with the owners or not. For a while, everyone was allowed to work from home, but later this option was suddenly restricted to developers only. There was never a convincing explanation for this decision. The “commercial team” (marketing, sales, customer success) was required to be in the office because management claimed they could not be trusted or properly monitored while working remotely. This created a strong sense of unfairness and unequal treatment across the company.
Interessante Aufgaben
In the beginning, the work was fun and engaging, with many interesting tasks and activities. However, as the company struggled to find real success, the situation changed significantly. There was no clear plan anymore, no new direction, and hardly any development of new tasks. Instead, we repeatedly did the same routine work over and over again. Many colleagues became increasingly frustrated because nothing changed and there was no real opportunity to grow or work on something meaningful.
