RUN AWAY FROM TEAMVIEWER!!

1.0
Not recommended
EmployeeWorked in Distribution / Sales at TeamViewer Germany GmbH in Göppingen, Baden-Württemberg at the time of review.

What I like about the employer

Colleagues and the chance to relocate to Germany (but you will pay the cost of relocation if you leave the company during the 1st year)

What I dislike about the employer

Managers, work environment, HR... All the rest.

Suggestions for improvement

Change directors in all departments, evaluate managers performance and their bad practices and definitely stop harassing employees. Purge all the rotten people, starting from HR, following to VPs and managers.

Working atmosphere

REALLY TOXIC ENVIRONMENT

If you have career expectations, this is NOT your company. People who have no ethics nor principles and who sell at any cost, passing over colleagues and without respecting the "fair play" rules, are the only ones who are promoted to seniors and managers. Moreover, they are the ones who have no idea about managing teams and do not even have a sense of team spirit.

The directors promise to investors that the company will achieve unrealistic targets and basically it translates to a nonsense "Push, push!!" message from managers to sales reps.

At some point, when they decide that they do not want you anymore in the company, they start harassing, bullying and micromanaging you questioning everything you do and your performance.

Communication

They communicate poorly with employees. The "All hands meetings" are just the directors speaking without message.
Terrible management of the corona situation, never informing colleagues about positive cases and forcing everyone to work from the office anyway.

Collegiality

Colleagues are the only good thing that TeamViewer has. The company does not deserve such an amount of nice workers.

Work-Life Balance

They sell solutions for remote work but won't allow employees to do so. SO sad!

Leadership behavior

WORST MANAGEMENT I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED
Starting from the directive board: Truly arrogant, greedy and selfish people, looking only to fill their pockets at any cost, cutting kickers and pay-outs from employees. Always looking for ways of making sales representatives more difficult to achieve their bonus, such a nice way to motivate them!

There are VPs who really would not survive in the real world (outside TV) and they really are questionable persons.

Sales Team Managers: Terrible, unexperienced kids playing to be managers, being in reality just puppets of the VP. That makes sense when you understand how rotten their "talent promotion" program is. The promotions are based on the sales performance, meaning that they promote "good" sales reps (they call them sharks, but they are more like vultures) to managers, meaning that they lose a sales representative who was performing and they gain a terrible selfish manager.

Interesting tasks

None, you will be doing repetitive boring tasks everyday.

Equality

They discriminate who is not German. Even from salary perspective, all non Germans are underpaid.

Interaction with older colleagues

There are none, noone stays or lasts in the company more than 3 years.

Environmental and social responsibility

They try to gain employees' trust by making events and promoting the alcoholism. Nothing else to expect from such a poor management.

Salary/Social benefits

They pay more in other competitors who have much lower turnover.

Career/Professional development

No chance to grow if you are a person with ethics.

Thank you for your honest feedback. TeamViewer condemns the negative workplace behaviors you are describing in this review.

We conduct regular employee surveys and closely listen to our colleagues’ feedback, which generally confirms that we have created a supportive place to work.

For the majority of our workforce, we have introduced a hybrid work system allowing to evenly split home office work and physical office presence – with this promoting flexibility while also enabling direct interactions, which are an important part of our culture. There are many examples of colleagues who have grown internally into leading roles, demonstrating that we go the extra mile to invest in and enable our teams. Each year around 25% of positions are filled thanks to the internal mobility of our employees, confirming the growth opportunities offered at TeamViewer.
