STAY AWAY
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The office if very modern and equipped with everything one needs (various coffee machines, a fridge with snacks, showers, lots of space).
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Low payment, people being hired and fired at astronomical speed, extremely awkward atmosphere when something "bad" happens.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Keep (good) employees instead of hiring and firing them like it's a game and focus on building their skills, concentrate on creating a good atmosphere in which employees feel heard and safe, take employees' concerns seriously instead of backfiring with arrogance, communicate instead of "sweeping everything under the rug" even though everyone knows what's going on, hire managers who are pro-active and actually know what they're doing, pay people more.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Massive lack of team spirit within the company accompanied by an extremely weird atmosphere in the office due to the constant fear of being fired at any given time. Basically, everyone keeps to themselves unless you have someone on the team you get along with and even that's frowned upon. Nobody really talks to anyone outside of one's own team (max. during the lunch break). It seems as if employees are too afraid to say anything at all.
Kommunikation
The communication between certain departments is a constant battle as deadlines are sometimes only announced an hour before even though they take much longer to fulfill. Other times, departments are confused as to who is responsible for certain tasks which creates a "back-and-forth" and results in nothing but confusion that may last for days.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
As I mentioned above, if you have a colleague you get along with, you better talk to them when no ones's near you. In general, people get along fine, however, as soon as one of the managers is close by, it gets very quiet very quickly.
Work-Life-Balance
On my team, it was never a problem to take time off or go to an (urgent) appointment. Because we weren't provided with work phones but rather used our private numbers, messages were also received outside of the working hours which is why I put all work-related groups on silent (or else I would've gone crazy).
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Although the relationship between managers and the rest of the employees seem casual and relaxed, it becomes very clear how little empathy managers truly have and how oblivious they are to the fact that they have no idea what's actually going on "beneath them". During one of the peaks of COVID-19, the opportunity of working from home wasn't even offered. It took managers weeks if not months to finally realise that it wasn't the best idea to keep about 40 people in an office. In addition, any type of critique or concern was not welcomed at all.
Interessante Aufgaben
Interesting to work for a relatively new company that's able to compete with international e-commerce platforms. However, at some point, the learning curve flattened out and nothing really new to learn came along.
Gleichberechtigung
The majority of high positions are only occupied by men.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The office is very modern and provides all technical equipment needed (large desks, PC with two desktops, pens & paper,...)
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
As far as I remember, there are different bins for paper, general waste and plastic.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Definitely underpaid.
Image
It probably seems better from the outside than it actually is on the inside.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Either you get offered a rise and nothing ever happens to that offer, you get offered a rise and get fired shortly after or you actually get the rise but nothing changes with either your personal development or skills.
