Micro management at its worst: Crazy goals, no trust, no strategy + founders & product are not ready to scale
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The colleagues are nice. The product helps to solve problems for small & medium businesses.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
No strategy, constant changes of direction. The founders bring in VPs but then do not let them do their work which results in VPs leaving... Or they fire them because they blame them for their decisions. Within one year 5 VPs left or were kicked out. Now there is only consultants left in the leadership who have never worked in Saas, nor in Ecommerce or ERP before.
To work for this management is so unpleasant and unsatisfying that only shareholders tend to remain employed for an extended period, while almost all others seek alternative opportunities. Employee churn is extremely high which says everything.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Trust employees that you bring in. Remove the founders from the management
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Completely chaotic due to priorities that shift almost weekly
Kommunikation
Weekly all hands, communication very much top down
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Depends on the team, ppl are cool but a lot are there just because of the remote opportunities
Work-Life-Balance
Depends on which department you are in...mostly very bad and unhealthy (especially for the mind because you have so many bad experiences)
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Direct leads great but management & founder management is a catastrohy
Interessante Aufgaben
Interesting due to growth and many missing things
Gleichberechtigung
Seemed fair.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Seemed fair.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Offices are ok, not great. What is good is the money for home office
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Not really a serious priority
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Ok, not bad, not great. Raise not easy
Image
Very bad in the market due to overpromising. Insanely high employee churn & firing of people.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
budget for training but almost no chance to progress
Arbeitgeber-Kommentar
Hi,
thanks for your detailed review. We are sorry to read that you experienced so many things in a negative way.
As you might know the economic situation and especially the IT sector is being shaken through currently. Jerky times require companies to react to the situation and also might require a change in strategy, which does not mean that there is no strategy as you have written. And these times are not always comfortable, we cannot and do not want to deny that.
What we can say, is that we are acting in the best way we can and know and we are aware, that not everybody can understand why certain decisions must and are being made. You can be sure, that our Management is not making these kind of decisions easy for itself.
Best,
Sophia
