Viel Verantwortung und eigenständiges Arbeiten.
EmployeeWorked at STABL Energy in München, Bayern at the time of review.
What I like about the employer
Viel Verantwortung und Entwicklungspotenzial.
Freundliches Arbeitsklima und viel Verständnis für persönliche Umstände.
What I dislike about the employer
Teilweise unklare Prozesse und unstrukturierte Entwicklung.
Suggestions for improvement
Klare Entwicklungspfade aufzeigen und ambitionierte Mitarbeiter gezielt entwickeln.

Working atmosphere
Es ist eine freundschaftliche Stimmung im ganzen Unternehmen.
Image
Positives Image der Branche und Unternehmen wird auch in der Branche positiv wahrgenommen.
Work-Life Balance
Es gibt viel zu tuen, teilweise ist hoher Druck auf Entscheidungen und Projekten. Es wird jedoch sehr auf persönliche Lebenssituationen geachtet und im Rahmen der Möglichkeiten viel Freiraum gewährt.
Career/Professional development
Viel Verantwortung für Werkstudenten und juniorige Positionen, dafür weniger seniorige Positionen von denen man viel und schnell lernen kann. Werkstudenten werden häufig übernommen, Seniore Positionen aber zunehmend auch extern besetzt.
Salary/Social benefits
Im Rahmen der Start-Up Welt wird sich Mühe gegeben Benefits zu erarbeiten, aber man muss intrinsisch Motiviert sein.
Environmental and social responsibility
Aufgrund der Branche tendenziell eher positiv, aber auch keine aktiven Aktionen bekannt.
Collegiality
Es wird einem bei jeder Anfrage geholfen und unterstützt. Keine Ellenbogen oder Neid Kultur.
Interaction with older colleagues
Start-Up bedingt wenig wirklich ältere Kollegen und tendenziell eher junge Teams. Dennoch werden Erfahrungen geschätzt und gerne angenommen.
Leadership behavior
Allgemein positives Verhalten. Vorgesetzte sind erreichbar und hören zu und geben Feedback. Teilweise jedoch auch sehr eingespannt und gestresst bis überfordert, was wenig Freiräume für Mitarbeiterentwicklung bietet.
Working conditions
Alles am Arbeitsplatz vorhanden was man braucht. Mitarbeiterwohlergehen ist wichtig und wird betrachtet. Dennoch Hands-On Mentalität und keine perfekt geölten Prozesse.
Communication
Die Hierarchie ist flach, Gründer und Manager sind erreichbar und offen.
Intern fließen Informationen zwischen Abteilungen noch zäh.
Equality
Sehr internationales und kulturell diverses Team. Männer-Frauen Anteil ist vermutlich branchenbedingt ungleich, aber wird grundsätzlich gleichberechtigt gefördert und angestrebt.
Interesting tasks
Von Anfang an ein hohes Maß an Eigenverantwortung. Eigeninitiative und Pflichtbewusstsein wird vorausgesetzt.

THE place to work if you like to contribute to renewable energy transformation and fight climate catastrophe!
Former ManagerWorked in HR / Training and Development at STABL Energy GmbH in München, Bayern until 2022.
What I like about the employer
STABL is deeply anchored in the personal values of the founders - I loved the philosophical conversations with so many thoughtful colleagues.
What I dislike about the employer
No complaints.
Suggestions for improvement
Be self confident as a company, you have profound reasons to be confident!
Working atmosphere
I always enjoyed the atmosphere to the fullest.
Image
Taking all the very positive feedback from outside into the account, the image of STABL is really good.
Now looking at STABL from the outside this impression got even more strong.
Work-Life Balance
Overall very good, with understandable exceptions if fixed end dates approach. I did not separate too much between work and life - working at STABL counts very well as living time ;-)
Career/Professional development
Don't expect super structured career paths, it's still a startup.
But if you keep your eyes open and think beyond the box, you'll encounter very unexpected opportunities that you'll rarely get in larger corporates.
Salary/Social benefits
For startups it's above average.
Environmental and social responsibility
Well, it's a renewable energy company ;-)
And people are very aware of social wellbeing.
Collegiality
One of the unique selling points of STABL!
Interaction with older colleagues
I have no reason to complain :-) Lovely colleagues!
Leadership behavior
Exceptionally good, the founders and other leaders really care for people.
Working conditions
Don't expect a fluffy carpets and glass walls, but if you do so, you probably shouldn't work in a startup ;-)
I enjoyed the hands-on mentality and the creative vibes of the (very industrial...) location so much!
Communication
There's always room for improvement. But compared to the other places I've seen it's outstanding. No long boring meetings, always to the point, no extensive blabla.
Equality
As a male I'm not the one to judge, but diversity, equality and inclusion are not just words for STABL.
I especially enjoyed the international, multi-cultural vibes at STABL and English as office language.
Interesting tasks
Of course there's always some boring stuff to get done, but the general vision of STABL is super exciting, the technical bandwith to be covered provides for tons of fun. Add all the never ending challenges in non-technical areas, and you encounter an exceptional environment to never stop learning.

Collaborative, dynamic environment in which employees are trusted from day 1
Worked in Administration at STABL Energy GmbH in München, Bayern at the time of review.
What I like about the employer
Everything, the cozy office, the great, friendly and welcoming colleagues, the trust and appreciation and the significant impact that I can make to the success of the company - keep up the great work!
Suggestions for improvement
I would only suggest upgrading the onboarding package to include wireless keyboards and mice, other than that I don't have any!
Working atmosphere
Extremely friendly atmosphere throughout the organisation
Work-Life Balance
Managers do care about the well-beinf of their teams, of course there are phases in which the workload is higher than the usual times, but employees are really encouraged to have a healthy WLB
Collegiality
Great team that makes every work day interesting and fun!
Interaction with older colleagues
Very flat hierarchies
Communication
Cross-departmental communication is transparent, as the leadership team organises frequent meetings to keep everyone informed, and the founders are always available to share detailed insights.
Salary/Social benefits
Great benefits (30 vacation days, flexible working hours, Wellpass, luncheon vouchers, corporate discounts, flexible HO and remote work from abroad, company pension plans and fresh fruits, snacks and drinks) and salaries aligned with market standards
Equality
From working students to C-Level, everyone is treated the same and appreciated for their contributions

An sich super Firma; Zufriedenheit hängt stark von der Abteilung ab, Druck nimmt zu
Former EmployeeWorked at STABL Energy GmbH in München, Bayern until 2024.
What I like about the employer
Den sehr nahbaren CEO, super aufgeschlossenes und kompetentes Team, wichtige und interessante Arbeit, super Verkehrsanbindung. Weeklies, in denen man alles wichtige erfahren kann sowie Input vom "Fußvolk" zur Quartalsplanung wird eingefordert.
What I dislike about the employer
Mein Vorgesetzter war nicht der, der mir im Bewerbungsprozess "versprochen" wurde. Der tatsächliche C-Level-Vorgesetzte (der kurz vor mir eingestellt wurde) und ich kamen dann nicht gut miteinander zurecht und ich sollte (nach großen Investitionen seitens der Firma) lieber gehen als zum ursprünglichen Vorgesetzten zu wechseln. Er hat schon in der Probezeit sehr hohe Ergebnisse erwartet, was bei einem relativ komplizierten Produkt schwierig ist, vor allem, wenn - wie bei neuen Produkten üblich - dauernd Veränderungen am Produkt vorgenommen werden. Meiner Meinung nach hat er ein Problem damit, selbstbewusste Personen zu führen.
Für mich erschwerend kam dazu, dass die Einarbeitung damals schlecht geplant war - durch einen Kollegen, der eigentlich andere Aufgaben hat und sich aber so gut gekümmert hat wie er konnte und ein anderer in Elternzeit war. Ich habe vielleicht nicht ganz so performt wie von mir erwartet, aber dass das ausreichend ist, um die Probezeit nicht zu bestehen, hat die allermeisten (inkl. mir selbst) doch sehr überrascht.
Zwei Monate nach meiner Entlassung sehe ich auf LinkedIn einen Post, der darauf schließen lässt, dass mein Vorgesetzter einen Freund aus einer vorherigen Firma auf mehr oder weniger meine Stelle gesetzt hat.
Suggestions for improvement
Führungskräfteseminare (falls das noch nicht gemacht wird) und Seminare zum Thema Gewaltfreie Kommunikation.
Working atmosphere
die Atmosphäre ist (wie eigentlich überall in den Erneuerbaren üblich) von starker Wir-reißen-das-Mentalität geprägt, alle wollen etwas bewegen. Einen Stern habe ich abgezogen, da die Stimmung sich wandelt. Sonst top!
Image
Bisher waren alle Mitarbeitenden zufrieden, bei STABL zu arbeiten und es gab so gut wie keine Kündigungen. Für viele der Mitarbeitenden ist dies außerdem die erste Anstellung.
Ein Mitarbeiter kam sogar zurück, weil er nach einem Umzug in eine andere Stadt mit seinem neuen Vorgesetzten unzufrieden war.
Work-Life Balance
Es ist nicht unanstrengend aber im üblichen Rahmen für ein Startup. Häufige gemeinsame Aktivitäten außerhalb der Arbeitszeit.
Career/Professional development
Hier bin ich mir unsicher, dazu war ich nicht lang genug im Unternehmen. Ich weiß aber von mindestens einer Kollegin und einem Kollegen, die zu ihrer Zufriedenheit einmal quer durch die Firma tingeln konnten bis sie ihren Platz gefunden hatten.
Ich gehe davon aus, dass Weiterbildung kein Problem ist.
Salary/Social benefits
Gehalt kam immer pünktlich. Gehalt passt.
Environmental and social responsibility
ist allein schon durch die Anwendung gegeben: Recycling von alten Elektroautobatterien.
Collegiality
Wie eigentlich überall in den Erneuerbaren ein famoses Team, in dem alle an einem Strang ziehen. Ändert sich aber seitdem die beiden neuen C-Level dabei sind.
Interaction with older colleagues
Es gibt kaum Ältere; die, die es gibt, habe ich so gut wie nicht gesehen, da sie viel im Außendienst tätig sind. Aber auch das ist für die Erneuerbaren bzw. für ein Startup nicht ungewöhnlich.
Leadership behavior
Hier muss je nach Abteilung stark differenziert werden. Es wurden auf Drängen der Investoren zwei neue C-Levels von außen dazugeholt. Einen kann ich bewerten - er leistet inhaltlich gute Arbeit; aber die Art, seine Ziele zu kommunizieren und durchzusetzen, finde ich unmöglich.
Working conditions
insgesamt gut aber hohe Arbeitsbelastung
Communication
Ich persönlich fand die Kommunikation in Ordnung, es gibt jedoch Stimmen, die nicht so sehr zufrieden waren. Es gibt firmenübergreifende Weeklies, zu denen jede:r etwas beitragen darf und soll. Gute Transparenz aus meiner Sicht.
Equality
Das C-Level und alle Führungskräfte sind (bis auf den CEO, immerhin..) männlich und weiß.
Aber das Team insgesamt ist sehr divers, es werden Ausländer:innen eingestellt, nicht trotz sondern wegen ihres Nicht-Deutschseins, so kommt es mir vor, man sieht die Vorteile, die eine solche Biographie mit sich bringt.
Der Anteil weiblicher Mitarbeiterinnen stieg, sinkt in letzter Zeit aber wieder.
Auch queere Personen sind dabei.
Sehr hohe Anzahl Studierender, die sehr viel Verantwortung tragen dürfen, wenn sie über lange Zeit dabei sind (teilweise von Anfang an). Viele wurden übernommen.
Interesting tasks
Das Themengebiet und die Technologie ist megainteressant und fortschrittlich, man ist am Zahn der Zeit und leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Energiewende.

Startup on its way to maturity
EmployeeWorked in Design at STABL Energy GmbH in München, Bayern at the time of review.
What I like about the employer
I definitely want to emphasize that the company leaders are as imperfect as all the other leaders. STABLs leaders however know that and show continuous effort to make a mistake only once. They pass this attitude to us (their employees) by example as well as coaching.
What I dislike about the employer
Sometimes quite rapid focus shifts.
Suggestions for improvement
please get the organization right :) you know that and we keep bugging you.
Working atmosphere
just great. Tasks and priority shifts are most of the times clearly communicated and made sure we're on the same page.
Image
From what I noticed, the outside perception on stabl is quite good.
Work-Life Balance
We can do home-office whenever we want, we don't have to give a reason or anything.
Career/Professional development
The company offers coaching for everyone who's interested. They specifically claim to provide a upward career path of expertise alongside leadership.
Salary/Social benefits
as a rather small company they don't pay as much as BMW or AWS. However they way more than usual start-ups.
Environmental and social responsibility
One of the company's founders wrote the book "Meine kleine Energiewende". The general spirit of the company is what you would call green. They spend more money on paper-based packaging material so they don't waste so much plastic.
The idea behind the system is to help the energy transition and preserve resources from old car-batteries. So the core is indeed one of responsibility.
Collegiality
Colleagues are always helpful. Seriously, I never had a situation where a colleague refused to help someone. We (currently still) have a bandroom, where some colleagues meet after lunch for a jam session.
Every applicant has to go to a so called "experience day" which is essentially a working day at STABL so they can meet people and we can get an impression on whether the person fits the team. Hiring or not is a team decision, everyone has a veto-right.
Interaction with older colleagues
Didn't notice any kind of discrimination.
Leadership behavior
very respectful, as little restrictive as possible while providing a direction
Working conditions
The company usually doesn't shoo away from spending money on equipment that makes us more effective. However sometimes saving money is important so things get postponed.
They offer high-end laptops, ergonomic HID devices, ridiculously good headphones, standing-desks and so to everyone.
Communication
Cross department a very open culture. As of now, if we find discrepancies, someone has concerns or an idea regarding something, everyone to my knowledge is open to hear them. We value feedback.
We moreover have regular events where the leaders update everyone on the status and the upcoming plans. A small one each week, a big one every quarter.
Equality
To my knowledge we have people from over 20 different countries. I didn't notice any sign of racism or sexism.
Interesting tasks
Mostly yes. We're working on a kind of inverter that no one has built before, therefore it's research heavy. That's interesting. However sometimes some boring things just have do be done.

Start-up with solid tech !
EmployeeWorked in Research / Development at STABL Energy in München, Bayern at the time of review.
What I like about the employer
The founding team listens to employee's concerns. Appreciate that.
What I dislike about the employer
Changes can sometimes take time. Considering that it is a startup, maybe things could be a bit more agile.
Working atmosphere
State of the art infrastructure, best laptops and accessories. New office is crazy big and the labs are super nice.
Image
I have been contacted by the competitors several times in LinkedIn. This has been annoying at times, but again also shows that competitors are aware/maybe even afraid of what Stabl offers.
Work-Life Balance
Super chill work. No stress and enough time to continue my hobbies and spent time with family.
Salary/Social benefits
TVöD Salaries are not the best in the industry because it gives undue advantage to degree over skills. In the tech industry, skills win over degree any day. I hope this improves soon. However the salaries are indeed way above other similar startups.
Environmental and social responsibility
The team promotes biking and even promotes participation in Climate rallies.
Collegiality
Co-workers are super nice. They usually hire from TUM or Ex-Employees of top companies like BMW, Tesla, Magna etc
Leadership behavior
Stabl avoid's leaders instead; it has a very democratic setup where everyone/anyone can own or drive the tech stack. However this does not mean that there are no responsibilities.
Working conditions
Lots of care put into making the workplace safe since we deal with batteries.
Communication
English and German. All official communications is in English which really helps expats like myself.

Amazing company to work at if you want to feel fulfilled and make an impact
Working StudentWorked at STABL Energy in München, Bayern at the time of review.
Working atmosphere
Super atmosphere, I really enjoy working next to my colleagues and having lunch together.
Image
The company has a great image, just like its company culture.
Work-Life Balance
I really appreciate the flexible working mode, where you can work from home anytime you want or feel the need to. After we hire more people, the work-life balance will be perfect!
Career/Professional development
If you do a good job, your efforts are appreciated and you can be advanced in your career ;)
Salary/Social benefits
STABL is superior to other start-ups when it comes to the financial benefits.
Environmental and social responsibility
A super environmental-friendly company with noble goals.
Collegiality
STABL really appreciates the personalities of its employees and takes care about this aspect during recruiting. Every employee needs to align perfectly with the company culture and the team.
Interaction with older colleagues
Age does not play an important role here, but only personality and experience.
Leadership behavior
Great supervisors who see everyone on an eye-level at all times! This is very rare and super appreciated.
Working conditions
Employees are given great working conditions, equipment and trainings. However, I give only 4 stars because we need a bigger office, as we keep growing. But that will be solved soon as well :)
Communication
Everyone is very open to hear new opinions and ideas. You can reach the person you want to talk to very easily (sometimes even just accross your desk!) As there are many tasks to do, sometimes we might not have time to communicate every little thing, but that will be improved :)
Equality
The company appreciates and supports all employees the same, no matter their gender, ethnicity or whatever else. We are all equal here.
Interesting tasks
Work is never boring here. There are always interesting tasks to tackle and it's very cool that I can do whatever I enjoy the most and try new things.

Working atmosphere
Very positive and productive atmosphere.
Image
We receive very positive feedback from different people.
Work-Life Balance
Taking time off or temporarily part-time, e.g. for parental leave is not a problem. The working hours in the contract are realistic.
Career/Professional development
Everyone is motivated to improve and encouraged to take responsibility; Attending a workshop at University was seen very positively.
Salary/Social benefits
Fair salary considering that it is still a startu-up. On top, you get benefits like "betriebliche Altersvorsorge" and givve card.
Interesting tasks
Working on an interesting topic which will be even more relevant in the future.
