Inspiring work environment within a young and driven team with lots of opportunities for personal development and growth
Verbesserungsvorschläge
In my opinion the company should be more open and facilitate different styles of working models (such as working part-time)
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Working at Ben, I really appreciated the very flexible remote work policy and the inspiring work atmosphere. As nothing is set in stone, there is lots of room and freedom to develop and grow and to help shape the business as well as its structures and processes.
Kommunikation
Mostly the communication is transparent, fair and constructive across all company levels and units.
With lots of staff working remotely and being based in different locations, it’s always a bit more challenging to make sure everyone is in the loop and well informed. There is still room for improvement in this matter, but as the company is in the process of defining responsibilities and structures more clearly, I am confident communication will improve.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The entire Ben staff has a hands-on and get-it-done mentality and mostly supports each other whenever necessary. In times of the pandemic and hence fewer in-person meetings and events, it wasn’t always easy to create a common sense of identification across the entire team, but the people and culture and management team are working hard and come up with lots of cool ideas and activities to cultivate the team spirit.
Work-Life-Balance
It's a start-up and while there are many perks such as a lot of flexibility, it also means that it isn't a 9 to 5 job and oftentimes it's necessary to invest extra time or go the extra mile to get your work done.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Management behavior was excellent - very transparent, motivating, trusting, on equal par and supervisors have a genuine interest in developing their staff with constructive feedback. Also, they are very open-minded to new ideas and support independent work.
Interessante Aufgaben
The area of tasks and responsibilities is very varied and challenging with lots of room for one’s own ideas and taking action in a fast growing and changing industry. However, in order to be successful and get the most out of it, a self-starter mentality is crucial
as lots of structures and processes are just in the process of being defined and implemented.
Arbeitsbedingungen
While the equipment both in the office as well as for remote work is great and state-of-the art, the set-up of the office space could be improved (brighter offices rooms, more space for quiet work).
