Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

The dudes. You rock, guys.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

It maybe sounds cliché, but everything that comes out of business / management. Again, I've never seen a company having such an awesome idea, such an awesome product, such awesome customers and an such an uber-awesome team getting turned into a dysfunctional mess that fast. It almost seems surreal. Maybe there's a better way to say things, a gentlemen's club version were all wear white gloves and speak this Brahmin language and velvet code-words, but I don't know this way, because I'm middle class from Florida.

Stick to your promises, or don't promise anything at all. Really, it's that simple. Oh, while we're at it, treat your software engineers as if they were made of Unobtanium. You get HR and finance guys by a dime a dozen. SW engineers, not so much. So, as a pro-tip, maybe get your priorities straight.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Bag of mixed feelings here. As long as you don't have to deal with the business / management side, all's good. Your colleagues are super nice, friendly and helpful as anyone can be. As soon as the upper echelons reach out to you, you're in FUBAR territory pretty fast.

The two stars are for the customers and the product idea, really. If it wasn't for them, they'd deserve a negative star rating here.

Work-Life-Balance

Depends but overall very good, as long as you don't get into 'friendly' fire from management / business.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

I guess money for on-the-job training is not an issue. Career-wise, my guess would be there there's not much of a ladder to climb.

Gehalt/Benefits

As long as I worked there, pay was pretty decent. I earned more in my previous gig, which was to be expected as I worked for a large enterprise that paid enterprise-level wages. But that's about it. No further benefits except getting your salary in time.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

As mentioned above, the dudes (well, what's left of them) are awesome to work with. Rarely been to a gig where people were more helpful and forthcoming and the mood was so high (well, before everything spiraled downwards).

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

See above

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Everything was good until the somebody sitting in the States decided to fire the person in Austria who kept the whole show running. From there on, things went south so quicky that it literally made you dizzy and your head spin. It almost felt like somebody did a 2020s remake of 'The Truman Show' on how to trainwreck a company as fast as humanly possible.

Arbeitsbedingungen

I guess everything has been said before. This was really an awesome gig, then things went south, now everything's FUBAR. It's really that simple. All that by replacing the single person that kept everything together. Well, seems like not everybody is replaceable (pro-tip, do you read HR?)

Kommunikation

This company is the poster child of all show no go, or show and shine. There are so many promises broken that you keep wondering if they had some outside help from Trump's campaign managers. Sorry for the stab, but it's true.

Gleichberechtigung

Interessante Aufgaben

The idea of what we tried to do (or what somebody maybe might still be doing) is pretty much awesome. Paying respect where respect is due.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Kommunizieren.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Bis auf spontane Streits in Meetings, bei denen hitzige Diskussionen zu Geschrei eskalieren eigentlich ganz okay.

Image

Es wirkt so, als ob kaum ein Mitarbeiter Vertrauen in die Firma und ihre Zukunft hat. Hier sieht das Management entweder bewusst weg oder ist tatsächlich blind.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Die Teams halten (größtenteils) zusammen. Management arbeitet jedoch aktiv daran, dass sich Leute weniger vertrauen.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Keine ersichtlichen Probleme.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Generell herrscht ein nahezu herablassender Tonfall. Die unbeholfene Management Ebene, bei der es manchmal so wirkt als wären Schuldzuweisungen ihre Haupttätigkeit, sticht in den ersten Arbeitsstunden schon negativ heraus.

Als netter Bonus: Manch ein "Manager" ignoriert einen schlicht und einfach wochenlang.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Geräte sind okay.

Kommunikation

Ein Vorzeigefall wie man NICHT kommunizieren sollte. Neue Mitarbeiter werden größtenteils sich selbst überlassen.

Gleichberechtigung

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Up2Go "work values" are the 4Cs = Curiosity / Craftsmanship / Collaboration / Challenge. They live this 4Cs which is great.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

I rarely see my colleagues.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Up2Go should work more with partners to benefit more from the exchange with external networks.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Space for own ideas. The "dudism" makes working atmosphere unique.

Work-Life-Balance

could not be better

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Up2Go has no budget limit for employees education!

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

using only electric company cars, travelling CO2-neutral...

Kollegenzusammenhalt

"Do the right thing, dude!"

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

age makes no difference

Vorgesetztenverhalten

a boss is a boss

Arbeitsbedingungen

mainly homeoffice...;-)

Kommunikation

Homeoffice is a challenge for communication.

Since my time (1.5y) at Up2Go I learnt more about other people´s work than in the past 20 years at other companyies.
