Great experience, great people!
Arbeitsatmosphäre
When I was at appliedAI, I felt like the working atmosphere is much closer to a big company (in the good ways) rather than a startup. There's a lot of events organized to bring people together, and people are super-friendly in the first place. There's very little friction in talking to anyone and collaborating.
Kommunikation
While communication from the leadership team could definitely be better, I have no qualms about communication across the rest of the company. It was always easy for me to reach out to someone, and I never felt unheard despite my position as a working student.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Probably the best aspect of appliedAI are the people. It was a joy to work with everyone, and they are super welcoming and really genuine in their interactions.
Work-Life-Balance
Working hours are super flexible, as is the time off. As a student, I often had to take weeks off for exams, and it was never an issue. The work assigned to me was always planned around my available hours, and it felt nice to have my own time as a priority.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
My direct supervisor was a pleasure to work with, and there was no concern about heirarchy between us. We understood each other well and our working styles matched as well.
Interessante Aufgaben
We had periodic reviews where I would discuss what I'm interested in going forward and what kind of tasks I'd like to take up. It was a great learning experience for me, however my personal ambition lies in a different domain which appliedAI does not work with.
Gleichberechtigung
appliedAI is very inclusive and we had a diverse cast of employees. Everyone was welcome!
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
We had a mix of young and old. It was very common for working students to get a full-time position once they finished with their studies as well.
Arbeitsbedingungen
There was a state-of-the-art office. I mostly worked from home, and I had the latest equipment available to me for work.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Environmental or ethical concerns were definitely taken into account when deciding the direction of our projects.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
My salary was very competitive, definitely on the higher end for working students. There were plenty of benefits as well, e.g., the wellness pass.

I had only heard good things about appliedAI before joining, and afterwards the reality also matched what I had heard!
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There's definitely scope for personal development and working on very current topics. However, my personal ambition lies in a different domain.
