kununu Prüfprozess
9 Mitarbeiter:innen haben diesen Arbeitgeber mit durchschnittlich 3,3 Punkten auf einer Skala von 1 bis 5 bewertet.
Tolle Kolleg*innen mit gutem Zusammenhalt
Misstrauen und wenig Respekt durch die Geschäftsführung, ständige Umstrukturierungen inklusive Kündigungen, durch die Geschäftsführung angeschrieben oder unter Druck gesetzt zu werden war leider keine Seltenheit
Ich war bei dem Unternehmen angestellt und kann leider nur negative Erfahrungen teilen. Das Management behandelt die Mitarbeiter oft sehr respektlos und schreit sie vor versammelter Mannschaft an, was ein unangenehmes Arbeitsklima schafft. Home Office ist hier keineswegs ein Vorteil – im Gegenteil, man wird dort noch stärker kontrolliert und muss ständig erreichbar sein, was den Stress erhöht. Das Gehalt liegt deutlich unter dem Branchendurchschnitt, was die unzufriedene Stimmung zusätzlich verstärkt. Insgesamt bin ich wirklich froh, das Unternehmen verlassen zu haben.
Liebe*r ehemaliger Kolleg*in,
danke, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast, uns Feedback zu geben, auch wenn wir sehr bedauern, dass du deine Zeit bei Tradelink in dieser Weise erlebt hast.
Es tut uns leid zu lesen, dass Du Deine Erfahrungen bei uns so negativ wahrgenommen hast. Die von Dir beschriebenen Situationen spiegeln jedoch nicht das Miteinander wider, das wir bei Tradelink leben und fördern. Unsere Zusammenarbeit basiert auf gegenseitigem Respekt, Vertrauen und einer offenen Kommunikation. Diese Werte sind fest in unserer Unternehmenskultur verankert und prägen unseren täglichen Umgang miteinander.
Wir nehmen aber jede Rückmeldungen grundsätzlich ernst. Sollte es zu Missverständnissen oder Enttäuschungen gekommen sein, tut uns das sehr Leid. Wir stehen jederzeit für ein offenes Gespräch zur Verfügung, auch im Nachgang, um die Situation nachvollziehen und daraus lernen zu können.
Für Deinen weiteren Weg wünschen wir Dir alles Gute und viel Erfolg!
Herzliche Grüße
Dein People Team bei Tradelink
Kultur & Kommunikation
-
Sehr angenehme Kultur trotz remote first dank virtuellem Office und regelmäßigen Treffen
Ambitionierte Ziele & Ansprüche
Internes & externes professionelles Coaching, wirklich top
Funktioniert sehr gut
Super transparent und fair, das Management hat immer ein offenes Ohr für diverse Anliegen
Gerade im Vertrieb wird es natürlich nie langweillig
- Fully remote set up
- Diverse company, especially on management level
- Plenty of opportunities to take on new tasks and to grow in my career
- Competent and engaged management team
- Friendliness and overall quality of colleagues
- More collaborative decision making
- A more structured approach to work would be helpful to avoid last minute stress or duplicate efforts due to changing decisions
- Continue the good work towards open communication and collaborative decision making. It's going the right direction but has room to improve further.
The workload and expectations are high without a lot of spare capacity in the team.
That being said, I always feel when I set boundaries they are respected. The management team is also very supportive of family life and that coming before work. I never feel the pressure to work outside of "standard" working hours and can choose when and how I work that fits my life and family best.
Despite being Remote-first, I feel very connected with my colleagues. The virtual office space Gather and the twice yearly Onsites bring everyone together really nicely, plus there are many great characters in the company that make working together fantastic.
The management team is very competent and passionate. I personally feel like I learn a lot from them and receive regular feedback/coaching points that help me improve.
The company/management team has put a lot of effort in here to improve transparency and way of communicating in the last year. There are regular company sessions where the strategy and company goals are shared, plus regular updates on how the company is progressing against goals and "instant" updates from the departments on what is happening.
Salary is within benchmark, although probably lower than some bigger start-ups.
Lacking some of the "standard" start-up benefits but the fully remote set up and strong support of family life is more important to me currently than paid gym membership.
High amount of women in leadership (more than 60%) and the majority of management also have young families. Overall in the company, there are many different nationalities working from multiple countries.
Continuous new challenges with encouragement to own tasks and push topics forward
Thank you for your feedback! We are delighted to see that you can combine your family time with work time so harmoniously. Also, it's great to see that you have a growth opportunity with us.
We will be looking to highlight the positive words you have shared within the organization and with the management team to continue to maintain high standards for all of our past, present and future employees.
Remote First Culture, I dont have to tell anyone if I am working from another country/city for a few days/weeks
Always changing projects, You work on something for 1+year and the next day the C level decides to just do something completely different, the pay is compared to other startups not really good, getting a promotion or a raise without constantly asking even tho your team is having awesome results is almost impossible, the only real benefits are the remote work everything else is either not usable anymore or "normal" in other companies
Stop trying to save money on your employees. You say you have the best investors and that you could raise more money again so start spending it on important things like your employees. To keep your employees it is not enough to send them kind words through leapsome, that wont pay my rent
If you are working with the C-Level your pay is great, If you are a "normal" clerk you are probably being ripped off

It's a super cool problem to solve and the people are great!
Heavy micromanagement, dismissive communication from founders, bad work-life balance
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.
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.
Some are fanboys and exagerate, but mostly good image
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.
Not more or less than most companies.
The favourites sometimes get lucky, but there is no real development program
Awesome people. The negative atmosphere brings the team closer together. Made great friends!
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.
Remote-first and you get the hardware you need.
There are regular allhands meetings but financials or investor feedback are not shared. The way things are communicated often feels dishonest or exagerated.
Pay is below average, shares are distributed unevenly, even the 27 days off were hard to get
There are definitely favourites and those that are not favourites but I haven't seen discrimination against women or specific groups
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
Thank you for taking the time and providing us with your feedback.
We take your feedback seriously and will discuss it internally. Furthermore, we would like to follow up on your review and offer you the opportunity to email your experience in detail to our Head of People & Culture mareike.knappe@tradelink.co
Thank you again we wish you the best of success in your future goals.
The nerdy urge to constantly improve not just the company itself, but eac and every one of its pillars (employees).
Not much really, tbh. At least not now!
Keep doing what you're doing and we grow together.
The intangible vibe and inexorable spirit in this company is truly magical!
Mostly good and positive voices, when it comes to our image.
Well i guess that's what working for a startup is all about. You give everything!
Very open about that. Superiors help where they can, when they can. If you need coaching, if you need answers, if you wanna talk. Talk. They listen. That's rare!
Not much to say here. Shure it could be better, but time will tell.
Let's just say not working in a big office building is a big plus. Not traveling to work everyday is doing its part. And in generel is our product and vision saving a lot of people a lot of time and stress.
Like i've never seen before. This might be the strongest asset of this company!
There is no question that age is not an issue at all. Everyone values the mix and the chance to learn from each other.
Nothing to complain.
Well it's remote first. On the highest level. Best tech, newest tools and exceptionel onboarding. And if you feel that something is missing. Talk about it.
They are doing well in that department. Is there room for improvement? Shure is!
From my perspective equality is no problem in this company.
Feels good for now. We are constantly improving how we workand what tools we use. Everyone is involved, that's awesome!
Thanks again for taking the time to provide us with your feedback, we are thrilled to hear that you have had a positive experience with us that led you to share these thoughts.
We will be looking to highlight the positive words you have shared within the organization and with the management team to continue to maintain high standards for all of our past, present and future employees.
Remote-first
As mentioned above.
Listen to your team! People will (and are already) be leaving, if nothing majorly changes. It is not an option to scream at teams if they are not performing as you would like them to. This will not increase motivation by one bit, management needs to understand that.
Within the smaller teams it is generally good but as soon as one has to work together with management it gets really uncomfortable. Overworking is massively glorified and if you are not ready to "go the extra mile" you will have a hard time succeeding here.
Plus: It is a remote-first setup, so people are free to work from anywhere.
Minus: The perceived flexibility is not there, because you can be called / approached pretty much anytime and it is closely watched when you are online and available.
No opinion.
Colleagues are great for the most part.
Cannot really judge.
Very bad. Goes as far as being shouted at in meetings.
Had all the hardware I needed, so nothing to complain really. A budget for height-adjustable desks e.g. would have been nice.
They try but I don't feel like there was the wish to have transparency. A lot of deep problems are dismissed as being individual issues and feelings of employees are often unvalidated. You feel like you are the problem.
Tasks are generally interesting and the product itself as a lot of potential.
Young and fast growing company, good ability to realize own potential and grow. Nice and comfortable place to work: friendly, open and supportive atmosphere, flexible schedule.
