The natural products and the beautiful designs. The image it's gained over the last years within the industry and the costumers happiness with their products.
Urbanara used to be a really healthy, positive and fun company to work for, but unfortunately this all changed completely with the new CEO. Now it's toxic, ruled by favoritism and not run in a professional way. Employees who have worked there for ages get bullied until they quit or sacked to be replaced buy someone the CEO knows. Manipulation and gossip are happening daily. You either join the madness or you will eventually go or let go.
Trust in your employers and their capabilities is not there and privacy neither. Even emails accounts get looked into without permission of the employer.
I don't think Urbanara has a future if it gets lead in such an unprofessional way.
It's sad to see what a company with so much great potential has become and how people can be CEO without the right background or skills and only because they know the right people. And then the same happens within the team.
Firstly, please give the company to someone who respects peoples privacy, let's them grow in their roles and acts professional internally & externally.
Here some basics that need action or changing:
- Get a trained HR team.
- Believe in your people and don't bully them.
- Don't use Whatsapp as a company communications tool. Especially not after working hours.
- Established a regular appraisal & review model.
- Be transparent but don't let your employees feel that they are a burden and the reason for certain numbers or failures.
- Get a external consultant to help you see things with a neutral perspective.
The atmosphere completely changed in the last year. Team spirit doesn't really exists and healthy work environment either.
Has gone downhill. Word spreads quickly in the interior industry.
You need to find people that you can trust and it's bearable. Sad to have a manipulative, unsupportive leader nobody respects but you have to pretend so you can keep your job.
Unstructured. Unprofessional. Transparent but in the wrong way.
The products, flexibel working hours based on trust, home office, nice office
Management style.
Change of management
Very toxic atmosphere. A lot of gossiping and manipulation from the management level. Micro managing. This influenced some collueges as well. Therefore no trust between teams. Strong favoritism. If you don’t agree with the C-level (even if your argument is only fact based and you just want to improve KPIs) you are out from the “inner circle” and the bulling starts. Empty promesing per phone calls and no written proves to anything. No real HR team. No goals settings or any way to grow professional.
Only positive: flexibel working hours based on trust and home office possible.
Not possible. Projects get dragged for ever but never finalized. Own goals not existing. No feedback sessions, no on or off boarding. No HR.
Depended to which “side” of the “camp” you were. If someone was of the management favorite anything was turned and brought up as gossip to the C-level. Teammates outside of the favorites had strong support system. But also therefore almost all fired or left themself.
Old in age: not existing
Old in being long in the company: thread to the management style of the C-level and therefore all one by one bullied out.
Everything was absolute unprofessional and the worst management I ever experienced. See above.
Office was very nice and home office possible (very flexibel)
Awful! Gossip and unprofessional topics discussed in work time. Calls for hours after work time, on weekends and during sick note.
Absolute favoritism
The brand and products are amazing.
Flexible working hours, hybrid working, great products and natural materials
Focus on work and not on gossip and drama, create a trusted environment. Give colleagues the chance to share feedback in confidence. Be fair, be respectful.
During the last 16 months at URBANARA, the change in C-level had a massively negative impact on the working atmosphere. Simple things like trust, respect and privacy no longer existed. What was once an extremely professional environment, became an environment of gossip and drama, with personal information, sensitive information and lies being shared by the CEO to colleagues not only in private 1:1 situations but also work meetings, after work events and in wider All Hands Formats.
The workload was manageable but the contact out of hours was far too frequent and interfering with personal time. Thankfully and one positive I'd like to highlight was the flexible working hours, this at least meant that personal appointments could be made without needing to book time off, and a later start or earlier finish was possible if needed, due to the trust regarding working hours.
There were no feedback sessions, no growth paths, and a lot of favoritism. Setting growth goals and targets was not possible, and there was no proper HR team to have any kind of feedback session with for a year at least
Many of the team were supporting each other and feeling the same or very similar feelings, so at least there was some level of support within the colleagues
This has to be the worst and the main focus. The current CEO was often pushing people to the maximum of their emotional capacities, to breaking point. Lie telling, manipulation, unfair treatment, favoritism and an overall unprofessional attitude to work and team leading explains it well. Some colleagues would be given different benefits to others, depending on the relationship to the CEO. If the CEO personally did not like you - you were treated extremely unfairly and in many cases people were bullied. Extremely personal questions were asked by the current CEO during work drinks but also during work time, putting me and others in very uncomfortable positions - not only personal but inappropriate, extremely private and very far crossing the line of employer to employee.
When there was an office - it was nice and quite a pleasant place
Communication became tricky over the last 16 months. There was no form of confidentiality, no chance to share feedback on personal work experiences and a massive lack of trust. Misinformation and lies were shared in company meetings and told as if they were facts - but were entirely untrue or unjustified. As well as this, contact was made by the CEO out of working hours (well into the evening / night) on personal WhatsApp and meetings that were scheduled for an hour sometimes lasted 3 hours. Spontaneous and very long meetings and calls were very common - often with no structure and no agenda. This made daily work extremely challenging
The tasks were varied, fast paced, very interesting topics
- Flexible working hours
- Great brand
- Interesting subject areas
- team spirit of the colleagues
See points above
- Do not use WhatsApp as a means of communication
- No emails and messages at the weekend
- Stop passing on sensitive information to other colleagues at all times
- Keep track of time: turn up to meetings on time and try to finish them on time
- Behave professionally in meetings (don't vape etc.
- Get the HR department back on track (e.g. personal development process)
- Create trust for employees
- be fair
- give your employees a proper goodbye and be grateful that they were working for that company
I would Iike to stress that this review is based on the beginning of 2023 (change in management took place)
Fairness and trust: completely absent.
In general, it should be the case that you can trust your managing director. Unfortunately, this was not the case.
Sensitive informations are forwarded to other colleagues, who are in the “inner circle” (e.g. who is getting fired; what was said in one-on-one conversations; people get told by the managing director on the Christmas party that they are going to be fired).
Colleagues got played and turned their back against each other sometimes. Very very uneasy atmosphere.
It's not for nothing that most of the "core people" (who have been at urbanara for YEARS) were let go or terminated their contracts themselves.
Complete micro managing of the managing director as well as unprofessional behavior during meetings with external clients (e.g. vaping during meeting).
On top of it there was no helpful HR department to complain to nor are there any personal development processes.
I hear a looooot of good things about the products, which is amazing. BUT consumers don’t see inside of the company - unfortunately.
There is already a lot of work in all departments, as the departments are stretched very thin.
There is a flexible working time structure, which makes it much easier to organise tasks.
However, it is also possible that you get called on weekends or texted on WhatsApp by the managing director during the weekend. I really really disliked that!
Isn’t really there as there never were personal development talks or anything else.
The colleagues were the best about urbanara.
Long-term employees are not appreciated. There were also cases in which these employees were accused of lying about a certain topic and were also treated very poorly in general.
I cannot say anything negative about older employees.
Department heads: they try everything to keep everything smooth.
The managing director: not suitable. See all my arguments through this review.
- nice office
- good technical gear
Many meetings are held and processes are discussed. Unfortunately, there is often a lack of structure and it is not always clear what the meeting is explicitly about (agendas are missing). In addition, the meetings are usually always overrun, which is very time-consuming at the end.
Informations is not always passed on from the top row to the heads. A lot of information was given by hearing other colleagues talking about it.
Am Ende nix mehr
Am Ende alles
Alte weiße Männer und ihre Speichellecker loswerden
Bedrückend
Wer kennt schon Urbanara
Nicht existent
Nicht existent
Null
Ältere Kollegen gibt es nur auf Führungsebene
Ich wünschte, ich könnte Minussterne vergeben
Ganz schlecht
Männer werden stets bevorzugt
Nur für Auserwählte, die aber auch nur auf Zeit Auserwählte sind
„Du arbeitest daran bist Du fertig bist - und wenn es Mitternacht wird!“
Geschäftsführung war sich untereinander oft nicht einig.
die Produkte bzw das Sortiment
Es scheint, das Management ha nichts von den vielen Mitarbeitern gelernt die das Unternehmen verlassen mussten, sondern eher keine Steine in den Weg gelegt (zB wurden keine Dokumente für das Arbeitsamt bearbeitet).
Manchmal gut und ausgelassen, jedoch häufiger eine negative bzw unrihe Atmosphäre.
Management berichtet über wenig Ereignisse was vorgeht und lässt Mitarbeiter im Unklaren.
Mitarbeiter senden sich heimlich den schlechten Börsenbericht des Mutterunternehmens zu, damit keiner mitbekommt, wie schlecht die Aktie gerade steht.
Gut, da Gleitzeit oder Möglichkeit auf home office besteht
Viele Bio bzw Organic Produkte. Es wird versucht dem Kunden ein breites Sortiment in diesem Bereich anzubieten.
Management und Teamleiter haben meiner Ansicht wenig Erfahrung im Führen eines Teams. Man merkt, wer bevorzugt behandelt wird und und wer einfach nur angestellt ist.
In Gesprächen mit Mitarbeitern denen mitgeteilt wird, dass ihr Vertrag endet (ganz nebei wurde dies nicht wie gesetzlich vorgegeben 3 Monate vor auslaufen des Vertrags vorgenommen) wird einem Eiskalt ins Gesicht gelogen und Tatsachen verdreht.
Zwar optisch nettes Büro in Mitte. Jedoch schlechte und vor allem veraltete Laptops. Büros sind im Sommer überhitz und im Winter eiskalt, sodas ständig Mitarbeiter krank sind.
In einem Review Gespräch wurde mitgeteilt, dass man schon zu verdienen würde und einem deshalb keine Gehaltserhöhung zusteht. Das man jedoch weit unter dem Mininum bzw Durchschnittswerten liegt (welche man im Internet ohne Probleme findet) ist nichtmal dem Teamleiter bewusst. An jeder Kasse im Fast Foot Restaurant würde man mehr verdienen.
tolles Team, guter Zusammenhalt, interessantes Konzept
schlechte Kommunikation von Chefabteilung zum Team, kein Investment in Personal und Ideen
The atmosphere is warm, employees are given responsibility and they are trusted and appreciated.
URBANARA cares about its employees and frequently asks their opinion and feedback. Also different events and get-togethers are organised, if not weekly, at least on a monthly basis.
Everyone is helpful, hard-working and nice. The colleagues really are more like friends.
Your contribution makes a difference. You can get a lot of responsibility and have the feeling you are trusted.
Employee care, appreciate ideas and encourage/motivate team by setting good example
So verdient kununu Geld.
