A Toxic and Unstable Workplace with Limited Opportunities
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The office is located in central Hamburg and provides good facilities and amenities.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Poor management, a lack of transparency, favoritism, unequal treatment, low salaries, and very limited career opportunities.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Management should communicate more transparently, involve employees in decisions, and take their feedback and concerns seriously without negative consequences. The company should establish a stable long-term strategy, reduce last-minute changes, offer fair and equal treatment, and provide competitive salaries, meaningful career development, and opportunities for promotion. Bullying, favoritism, and pressure to resign should be addressed immediately through clear accountability.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The work environment feels very toxic and demoralizing. Employee dissatisfaction and turnover are high, with many people actively looking to leave. Frequent last-minute decisions disrupt daily workflows, while major changes to the company’s strategy and organizational structure every three to six months leave employees focused on constantly adapting rather than doing their actual jobs.
Image
The company tries to create the impression that it competes with the leading companies in the gaming industry, but the reality does not live up to that image.
Work-Life-Balance
Poor. There are frequent last-minute changes that are expected to be done in a very short time with unrealistic deadlines. This results in needing to work extra hours, to deliver on time.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Career progression is extremely limited, with promotions and salary increases being very difficult to obtain and no regular annual raises. Although a training and development budget exists, requests are generally approved only when the cost is minimal.
Gehalt/Benefits
Salaries are generally lower than at comparable companies, and employees with immigrant backgrounds may feel undervalued and treated as a source of inexpensive labor. Pay raises and promotions are extremely difficult to obtain, while the benefits package is very limited.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
There is no actual awareness of environmental or social responsibility. No initiatives or concrete measures in place.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Communication and mutual support among colleagues are generally good, as everyone faces the same challenges and tries to get through them together. However, the high turnover rate makes it difficult to maintain a strong sense of team cohesion over time.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Horrible. Mobbing, bullying and favouritism are easily observed. Management attempts to pressure employees into resigning. Communication is often dishonest and handled behind employees’ backs, with some individuals being made to feel that they were no longer welcome at the company.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Working conditions are poor due to constant last-minute changes, unrealistic deadlines, and frequent restructuring.
Kommunikation
There is very little communication between management and the employees doing the day-to-day work, resulting in a significant lack of transparency. Employee feedback is rarely considered, and decisions are typically based solely on management’s perspective. Those who express disagreement or raise concerns face negative consequences.
Gleichberechtigung
German employees and employees with immigrant backgrounds are not always treated equally.
Interessante Aufgaben
Not really. The company’s primary focus appears to be generating revenue by any means possible
