Was Mitarbeitende sagen
Was Mitarbeitende gut finden
Ein Name, der sich hervorragend im Lebenslauf macht und ein ausgezeichnetes Sprungbrett sein kann, wenn man es für eine gewisse Zeit in der Company aushält. Darüber hinaus trifft man auf spannende Talente und interessante Menschen und lernt, wie man effektiv mit den negativen Aspekten der Unternehmenswelt umgeht. Eine wertvolle Erfahrung.

Strong brand and engaging projects.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich das junge, dynamische Team, eigene Ideen werden auch von Praktikanten ernst genommen
the job itself, the people (colleagues)
Was Mitarbeitende schlecht finden
Ineffective management and interactions with non-management is the biggest issue. Poor understanding of job functions, total workload, and very little documentation or structure in processes has brought us here.
You get the feeling many managers don't respect or trust their employees. In the recent years, more long term employees than I can remember have quit or were fired/offered severance.
You also have to pay to park your car in the company parking spaces. Charging employees to park their own car ...
Consider why so many employees attempt to describe the situation to the best of their abilities, but are required to modify or delete their review after having it reported by whoever manages Kununu reviews at Westwing. Simply this exercise alone should tell you what you need to know about the current state of operations.
Man wird ausgenutzt, muss ständig in Vorleistung gehen und wird oft hingehalten sobald es um Beförderungen geht. Gegen offensichtlich schlechte Vorgesetzte wird nichts unternommen solange die Führungskraft darüber sie gut findet.
Zu wenig Transparenz - keine Aufklärung bei unerklärlichen Gehaltsunterschieden! Sehr wenige benefits obwohl das komplett konträr dargestellt wird!
As legal action is being taken against this review, I have had to remove this passage.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
I would focus on giving more autonomy to team leads and specialists to reduce bottlenecks and improve execution speed. More stable prioritization would help reduce constant context switching and improve long-term planning. I would also improve how employee concerns around cost of living, commuting and flexibility are addressed, with clearer acknowledgment of the constraints many employees face and more transparent communication around decision-making.
- Einführung einer transparenten und verlässlichen Arbeitszeiterfassung
- Mehr flexible Rückkehr- und Teilzeitmodelle, insbesondere für Mütter und Mitarbeitende mit familiären Verpflichtungen
-Gesundheit und persönliche Anliegen der Mitarbeitenden ernst nehmen und sowohl körperliche als auch psychische Belastungen stärker berücksichtigen
-Mehr Authentizität und Glaubwürdigkeit in der Außendarstellung – insbesondere in den sozialen Medien
Please, please start listening to your employees. In recent years, the company has changed from a great, open workplace with fantastic colleagues into more of a performance-driven machine, where communication is lacking and where, from the top, you get the feeling that my work is not as important as that of others.
From my perspective, the company still has the potential to improve significantly. However, this would require leadership to listen more carefully to employee feedback, address criticism transparently, and use it constructively to rebuild trust and improve the working environment.
Bester und schlechtester Faktor
Am besten bewertet: Kollegenzusammenhalt
Der am besten bewertete Faktor von Westwing Group ist Kollegenzusammenhalt mit 4,4 Punkten (basierend auf 136 Bewertungen).
The sense of togetherness among colleagues is very strong, especially within teams, and in many cases even extends to friendships. Regular team events contribute positively to collaboration and team spirit. The provision of drinks and shared spaces in the cafeteria further encourages informal exchange and connection.
Team cohesion is very strong. However, I’ve heard from many people that they would have left the company long ago if it weren’t for their team. Unfortunately, that speaks more for the individual employees than for the company itself. I also would have left a long time ago if I didn’t have my team.
Generell hat WW viele talentierte und angenehme Menschen mit denen die Zusammenarbeit Spaß macht. Der Zusammenhalt in unserem Team war gut.

Absolut top! Super Team, super Menschen- kann man sich nicht besser wünschen!
Am schlechtesten bewertet: Gehalt/Benefits
Der am schlechtesten bewertete Faktor von Westwing Group ist Gehalt/Benefits mit 2,8 Punkten (basierend auf 110 Bewertungen).
There is a noticeable disconnect between the company's "pay-for-performance" messaging and how compensation decisions are perceived internally. The CPO frequently highlights performance-based compensation as a core principle. However, many employees feel that only a very small percentage of the workforce is realistically considered for salary increases, regardless of how broadly strong performance may have been across teams. This creates the perception that predefined quotas play a larger role than actual performance outcomes. As a result, the credibility of the "pay-for-performance" ...
Salaries seem to follow a step and band matrix. For example, the roles that require more technical skills normally would be on a higher band but the same step for seniority.
The problem with this is that you have some employees who have many years of experience, but were hired at an old step/band salary. This means a person with several years of the experience at the same band and level could be making less than a new hire in ...
Unterdurchschnittliche Vergütung und kaum attraktive Zusatzleistungen. Beispielsweise gibt es keinen Essensgeldzuschuss, während Bonuszahlungen nur einem sehr kleinen Kreis von Mitarbeitenden zugänglich sind. Auch Gehaltserhöhungen und Beförderungen erhalten im Rahmen der jährlichen Performance Review nur wenige Mitarbeitende.
Compensation is formally positioned as merit-based, however in practice salary increases are difficult to achieve even with strong performance. The criteria behind compensation decisions are not transparent, making it unclear how performance translates into actual salary progression.
Karriere und Weiterbildung
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Karriere/Weiterbildung wird mit durchschnittlich 3,1 Punkten bewertet (basierend auf 109 Bewertungen).
Es gibt zahlreiche Fälle von steilen Karrierewegen bei Westwing - z.B. von Manager zu Vice President. Es gibt kostenloses Coaching, was klasse ist. Es gibt auch weitere Learning & Development Maßnahmen, sowie kostenlose Bücher (z.B. über Leadership). Das L&D Angebot könnte jedoch noch weiter ausgeweitet werden, z.B. mit mehr In-Person Trainings zu Kommunikation, etc. sowie Subventionierung von externen Trainings/Academies/Summit Teilnahmen.
There is room for career progress, and getting to know a lot. Always new projects, especially now with expansion, Stores etc. Its on you to drive your development and also ask for responsibility and chances. If you’re driven you will be given them.
Regarding learning, there are insight sessions (Internal knowledge sharing) but no budget per person, you have to pitch it to your leader.
either you take care of your career and work super long hours without compensation or you don't come far. career at westwing is super random. people get promoted because of politics. not really comprehensible. you can ask for education but you have to bring a strong business case - which is often declined.
There are good opportunities to grow quickly and take responsibility early on. Development is largely self-driven; you need to actively pursue opportunities. Internal learning sessions exist, while external training usually requires pitching your case individually.
