Cool team, terrible management
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
It's a super cool problem to solve and the people are great!
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Heavy micromanagement, dismissive communication from founders, bad work-life balance
Verbesserungsvorschläge
You hired good people, now get out of their way! Your need for control is slowing everything down and having a million priorities does not help.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Loved the team! Very smart, motivated, caring people who give it their all. Unfortunately, the founders created an environment of fear. People try not to involve them because it's likely they get yelled at or ridiculed in front of everyone.
Image
Some are fanboys and exagerate, but mostly good image
Work-Life-Balance
You get yelled at and made an example of when you don't "finish your stuff". One colleague was singled out in front of the whole company because he didn't put his notes from a customer visit into the system - because he didn't get home before midnight. Others were asked to move their holidays because they caused a bug. 60+ hours / week is no exception.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Not more or less than most companies.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
The favourites sometimes get lucky, but there is no real development program
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Awesome people. The negative atmosphere brings the team closer together. Made great friends!
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Clear top-down management style, no personal development. There are all these "review" meetings that are essentially just the founders way of saying "you know nothing, let me tell you how it should be done". They tell you to "be efficient" and get things done but then slow you down every step of the way.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Remote-first and you get the hardware you need.
Kommunikation
There are regular allhands meetings but financials or investor feedback are not shared. The way things are communicated often feels dishonest or exagerated.
Gehalt/Benefits
Pay is below average, shares are distributed unevenly, even the 27 days off were hard to get
Gleichberechtigung
There are definitely favourites and those that are not favourites but I haven't seen discrimination against women or specific groups
Interessante Aufgaben
It's a very cool problem to work on in general, but there is so much overhead, so much unnecessary documentation, you can't really get anything done in a reasonable time
