Dear Reviewer,

Thank you so much for your detailed and appreciative feedback.

We are very happy to hear that you enjoy the freedom, the teamwork, and the trust which are indeed very important for us at air up. Mentioning our focus on customer value and open culture of learning from mistakes is truly encouraging.
Thank you for your constructive suggestions regarding specialization and maintaining a broad perspective. Noted and appreciated!

We value your transparency:
It's a shame that some people out there still do not believe that air up has the potential to offer them a mind-blowing flavour and hydration experience! Let's spread the word and prove them wrong 🙂!
Like for a lot of companies, the start into 2024 was a bit bumpy. Decisions have been made due to various reasons and we do understand every emotion that comes with this.
However, the People and Culture team has, and will continue to leave no stone unturned in supporting the team regarding these matters.

Regarding work-life balance, we are glad you appreciate the flexibility we offer. We believe that personal well-being is crucial, and we encourage our team members to prioritize it.

Finally, it's great to know that you find our compensation competitive and appreciate our environmental and social initiatives.

Thank you again for your feedback and for being a part of air up.
Your insights are invaluable to us!

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.

With reference to the review which was originally created in June 2023

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 P&C team

Dear air uppie,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We genuinely appreciate your perspective and take your concerns seriously.

On behalf of the P&C department, we would like to emphasize, that creating a work environment where our teamies feel valued and have opportunities for personal and professional development is indeed a top priority for us.

With that being said, we would like to address the points that you've mentioned:

We acknowledge your concerns regarding new hires: Fostering a culture of growth and development within our organization is very important to us. Please rest assured that we are always dedicated to considering both internal and external opportunities to ensuring the right decision - for our teams but also for our new teamies. This is the utmost priority for our Recruiting team.

Additionally, we do understand that you have concerns regarding matters influenced by our leadership. Your differentiated opinion is crucial to us, and we want to assure you that maintaining transparency within our company is a core goal of our board. Transparency at air up, extends beyond mere numerical honesty; it involves providing context for ongoing developments, whether they be successes or challenges.
We strongly believe in fostering an environment where our teams and their ideas are not steered by higher-level managers. Instead, we encourage freedom and ownership, allowing our teamies the space to develop their best ideas based on their expertise to tackle challenges or maintain success.

We do understand that you don't feel that degree of freedom, which could lead to the feeling of pressure. We would like to reassure you that your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed. It's concerning to hear that you feel your efforts are not being adequately recognized or rewarded. Employee recognition and appreciation are fundamental aspects of our company culture.

To address your concerns effectively, we encourage you to have an open conversation with your manager or your Business Partner. We would like to hear more about your concerns to find solutions that suit your needs and ensure a healthy work-life balance.
