Don't work here if you want job security, a good salary, or career progression. It would be foolish to work here

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

You can work outside of Germany (in the EU) for 6 weeks per year, which is cool. They have very good retirement benefits. The salary is average for Munich but no cost of living increases, 13th month, or holiday pay. There is a good mix of male/female at all levels. The company does a lot to reduce its environmental impact. The office is in a good location and new. They have fun company and team events. The hierarchy is mostly flat. 40% off of products for employees, 20% off for friends and family. When a new product is launched, you get a free one.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Many of the company founders are upper management with little or no work experience before starting this company. As you would guess, they make a lot of bad decisions.

They've fired 50+ people so far this year without providing any legitimate reasons. When people are fired, there is no handover so you suddenly find yourself doing things you have no idea about. Of course, added responsibilities and work load do not earn you any more money, just more stress.

Someone tried to form a worker's Union and they fired around 10 people the very next day (very suspicious) and then had an All Hands about how unions are bad.

The company seems to be struggling financially and I wouldn't be surpised if they became insolvent before the end of 2024. Many big decisions are "gut feeling" not data-driven and this will be the end of the company

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Your employees are incredibly unhappy and you're doing nothing to fix that

Kommunikation

Improving, but still not very good

Work-Life-Balance

They do not care about how many hours you have worked and it is not recorded

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

I think there are only 2 colleagues close to their pension, but they seem happy

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

They put a big focus on sustainability, until profits started to be affected, then they just stopped focusing on sustainability

Gehalt/Sozialleistungen

Salary is bad. No cost of living increases, even if you've worked there for years with good performance reviews

They provide 50 euro for Urban Sports and 50% refund for the Deutschland ticket.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

There is no career progression. The only team that gets promoted is the Strategy team

With reference to the changed review of 20.03.2024

Dear air uppie,

thank you for taking the time to update your previous review. It's sad to read that you don't seem to be happy with us any more. We would like to comment on the points you mentioned.

You are right, our founders were quite young when air up was brought to life. We would like to add though:
a) without their ingenuity and determination, we wouldn't be here.
b) they have been working on air up for more than 6 years. We believe they have experienced and learned more than many of us in our careers so far.
c) Over the last 2 years, various decisions have been taken to expand the exec board in order to achieve a strategic diversity of seniority and experience.

To your point about compensation, ensuring equality and fairness across our team is a top priority for us. We have invested significant effort into reviewing salary benchmarks to guide our decisions in this regard.

We are really sorry to hear that you feel like only one team get's promotions. We are actually really proud of the 81 employees that received a salary increase across the company and 24 of these increases were connected to a promotion in the last performance round.

We would like to seek an open exchange with you to discuss your concerns relating to recent redundancies and workers council. At this point, we cannot agree with your statements and would like to understand this mismatch, only if you are willing to do so of course.

Thank you again for your feedback, we will definitely work on the topics you have raised and again, we would love to have an open dialogue with you, feel free to reach out to your manager or our P&C team whenever you want.

Your People & Culture Team

Dear air uppie,

thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review. We appreciate your feedback and take all comments seriously. Nonetheless, we would like to comment on some points of your review.

Firstly, we are really happy to read that you feel good at air up. We love our new office space as much as you do and are very committed to provide a workplace that is inclusive and respectful to all employees. It makes us really proud that we were able to hire such a diverse team as you mentioned.
To your point: "it would be good to see more non-Germans promoted to middle and upper management". We checked the most recent numbers and can proudly say that ~55% of our leadership team is non-German. As mentioned above, we give all employees regardless of gender, age, nationality, sexual orientation etc. equal opportunities to grow and succeed.

We are sorry to hear that you don't have transparency about our investors. May we point you in the direction of our internal knowledge management tool or recommend to reach out directly to our Investor Relations Team. Unfortunately, we cannot share the address of specific investors with you ;)

You further write about leavers and a high turnover rate.
We do keep a close eye on this and are happy to report that it is completely within industry standards for a company our size/age. In regard to the names of the people leaving: we proactively communicate each leaver with all of our Managers. We will raise it to the group that they need to communicate it in the respective teams to ensure the information reaches every single one of us.

In case you´d like to share anything else or simply want to talk, please reach out to your HR Business Partner. Again, thank you for staying true to our HONESTY value and sharing your opinion with us.

Your air up People & Culture Team
