low pay, micromanagement, insecure bosses and indifferent management - just another day at compado
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
working remotely.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
being fired despite having good feedback. having a micromanaging superior create a tense and uncomfortable working atmosphere, while being fully and unconditionally backed by the management.
low pay
boring, unscalable product.
management being focused on short term profits.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
hold yourself accountable to the feedback you give employees. don't tolerate micromanaging and borderline bullying by your mid managers.
there is a reason why compado is known amongst berlin based labour lawyers.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
the only good thing is the opportunity to work remotely. apart from that i experienced micromanagement and borderline bullying by my superior
Kommunikation
their entire feedback system is an intransparent charade. it is totally inconsistent and non-binding. despite me receiving good feedback in my last feedback conversation, i ended up being fired weeks later.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
my colleagues were mostly friendly, but when i asked some to create a betriebsrat (employee council) to have better protection against illegitimate termination, none of them were willing to join, basically acting against their own best interest. who knows, maybe they feared possible consequences?
Work-Life-Balance
3 stars for the fact that you can actually and almost unconditionally work remotely.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
terrible. i can only speak about my own experience with my superior, but it was very difficult to borderline impossible to work with someone, who took any sort of feedback or suggestion as a personal attack. at some point instead of voicing ideas to improve something or do something differently, you just bite your tongue and walk on eggshells, because you would anticipate it to not be received well. also, their almost obsessive need to impress top management was very off putting and made life difficult for me as every piece of work i produced was unnecessarily double and triple checked. in the end, at least in my view, i was terminated not for my performance but because of personal issues caused by my superior and this was fully backed by management.
Interessante Aufgaben
no. it is a boring, unscalable product.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
there weren't any elderly colleagues, which either means that they don't hire older people or that older people aren't interested in working for them.
Arbeitsbedingungen
they provide decent equipment to work remotely.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
i was not aware of any initiatives in that regard.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
pay was definitely below average. they try to distract from it by endlessly emphasising the remote work opportunities, when logically, the lack of a massive office, should save money, which then could be used to pay people fairly.
Image
they are a b2b company, so they don't have much of a public reputation.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
the company isn't well known, so careerwise, it won't stick out on your CV.
