Great colleagues, but managment lacks vital skills
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Great work-life balance, helpful colleagues.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Communication skills of management, and HR no reacting to violent/bad communication. Hiring strategy
Verbesserungsvorschläge
If you want to monitor performance of developers, you also have to monitor performance of their Leads. It‘s hard to perform well, when you also have to do the job of others.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Very little feedback is given. Some decisions are being made „secretly“, which in the past have created a lot of unease within the teams.
Kommunikation
Not great, not terrible. Company-wide meetings inform transparently about business-decisions. For my personal liking, there‘s a little too much „we are one team, we are awesome“-talk, which is always preached, but not lived.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Really good. Hardly any single-players here within teams, and in-between teams.
Work-Life-Balance
No overtime, no all-in, and you have to use up your vacation. Very flexible regarding home office! HR is very engaged in promoting work-life balance
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Non-existing problem solving skills (e.g. public fighting in company-wide meetings). Lots of manipulation and politics. C-Level Management blaming developers for goals not met, and fully ignores missing tech, communication and management skills of mid-level management.
Typical for startups, you can tell that at one point the company grew rapidly, and mid-level management was hired after internal availability, and not for skillset.
Arbeitsbedingungen
New, tube-like open-space office, which can be very noisy, and lots of people walking by. Lunch area is too small. But overall modern, and okay
Company provides modern hardware.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Okay-ish, people don‘t work here for the money.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
They do have some career development plans, but they seem to be slightly out of touch with what personal development in IT looks like. Also, I have seen them hire people for certain positions, and end up using them for task not according to their skillset
