You like Michael Scott from the Office? Then you’ll love working at Appinio
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Team, product, flexibility
The initial vision and the do-good approach is nice
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Very intransparent and lack of structure, clear goals and inspiring leadership. Also there Are no experienced leaders or strategists.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Listen to the people and Not only to what leads tell you.
Also, maybe take the staff and their concerns more seriously.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Nice people everywhere. Bur die to Lack of clear goals and a basically non-existent communication (very dependent on the Team lead!) it can be very stressful and frustrating with loads of work being wasted because of last-minute changed plans and micro management.
Kommunikation
The monthly company wide Meetings and Slack channels for announcements don’t really help with comms. Loads of rumours floating around and uncertainty regarding vision, strategy and goals on every Level and how this translates to your own job description.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Genuinely the best and friendliest team I’ve ever worked with. Also shout out to the HR team who did an excellent hiring job.
Work-Life-Balance
Work from 9-6, no time tracking no compensation for overhours. But: super flexible. Doctors appointment? No problem. Child Sick? Don’t sweat it. Holidays? Take them.
Also you can work from anywhere in the world.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Again: depends on the Team and your lead. But I experienced toxic and belittling behaviour towards me and others. Big Red flag: lead talks very badly about team and people who are not there. Management knows.
Interessante Aufgaben
You can be creative and try a lot of things. But be aware that you will need to fight for those things and be in a constant defense Mode regarding your work and ideas (at least in the Marketing) if lead doesn’t like them.
Gleichberechtigung
Very international team. But females are still underrepresented in leadership
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
The oldest employee was in their 40s…
Arbeitsbedingungen
You’ll get a new MacBook, Desktop, mouse, Keyboard etc for Home use. In the Office you’ll find adjustable desks, screens and everything else.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Alright for some positions. But still being told that the salary is great as Appinio is a startup is ridiculous. The money is there but being distributed to other teams…
Image
Quite good, especially in Hamburg and the Texh/SaaS bubble
Karriere/Weiterbildung
No clear path, no trainings, no experienced mentors, unqualified and unhelpful feedback.
