Unfortunately: Chaos - Recommend to stay away
Verbesserungsvorschläge
The board should step in and make some strategic decisions…It‘s about time.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Oftentimes decisions are very intransparent and expectations are overly optimistic leading to missing the goals frequently.
Kommunikation
Honestly, quite poor. Meetings run by the leaders are oftentimes useless, not well prepared. Leaders praise themselves but results show an entirely different picture.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Great colleagues that are always there to support when needed.
Work-Life-Balance
It depends on your role and if you sit on the bench or not. This company has had very few projects when I was working here so many did not have any meaningful work and opportunity to grow. Others drowned somehow in work. Quite a weird thing. Again lack of leadership is to blame as they were not able to allocate work among their directs well.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
See above comments. But generally the leaders are weak here. No relevant experience (partially not even real AI expertise), no track record, poor decision making and most importantly no viable business model and strategy leading to quite a problematic situation as you might imagine. Companies are measure on profits but as the leaders steer so poorly, your job is kind of always on the line here as there is always the risk that the financial support simply dries up as no results are delivered.
Interessante Aufgaben
Small stuff that I have seen mostly. Would not call these things interesting. Partially stuff was done that was not even AI but rather fundamental digitisation.
Gleichberechtigung
No apparent issues here that I noticed.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
There are no experienced older colleagues here.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Constant fear of losing your job due to the situation this company is in. There is basically no psychological safety. But again it’s a startup so also not uncommon, too.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Was not too apparent to me that this was of any real concern. Other issues were definitely more pressing.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
They pay crazily good. More than the majority of other companies. And they also raise the salary to account for inflation. Was great but again quite careless from the leaders as frugality is key for startups without product market fit as this one.
Image
Nobody really knows them given also that the company also does do rather standard consulting and no innovative initiatives that would end up in products the company could really be known for.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Not sure of progression would be possible. I assume rather not do much as they overhired heavily based on inflated expectations and now struggle to deal with the tough situation.
