strong tech stack and great opportunity to learn new skills.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Individual progress planning, super modern technologies. We sometimes record my manager when he gives introductions/tutorials on new technologies. We just did a session on gRPC and Blazor. That is super helpful.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Steep learning curve, not really Convex' fault, but still not the easiest if you do not have any domain knowledge upfront.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
It would be cool to have a more interactive onboarding experience and I really miss working face to face with my colleagues.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
It's really cool. We have a short daily "stand-up" meeting across the team and present the items we plan to work on that day. Most of the time people are really prepared and it is really good to know what everyone is doing.
Kommunikation
Communication is always a super difficult topic, especially since we are both developers and traders and interests are not always easy to align. Convex created a permanent position for an agile coach to foster better team work - it is working well, I would say. :)
Kollegenzusammenhalt
my team is super supportive. Whenever I have an issue one of my colleagues pitches in and helps me out. Even during the current home office situation we have video calls all the time.
Work-Life-Balance
It's a bit unfair to score work-life balance during a global pandemic. My work schedule is actually fairly well designed and my manager is really respecting my personal situation during Corona.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
My manager takes time for each one of us and knows our strengths and weaknesses. Convex introduced a daily learning hour and my manager finds study material to further improve relevant skills from tech to stakeholder/audience analysis we have done it all :)
Interessante Aufgaben
I enjoy 80% of my tasks. I guess it is part of every job that there are tasks that need to be done.
Gleichberechtigung
Convex has guidelines on equal opportunities and it is mandatory to go over these guidelines with one of the partners on your first day. I feel save and I think that I have the same opportunities as everyone else in the company.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
we don't actually have any older colleagues, but I think that's a coincidence. I cannot really rate this.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The partners are really not cheap on this. We all got brand new Dell laptops for the home office time . I asked for a different keyboard and I got it immediately, same with mouse and additional monitors. We all have Bose or Sony noise cancelling headphones - which we do not have to share. The chairs in the office are high quality and super good for long seating jobs. The coffee machine is great and there is a gym with discounts a floor below the office.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Convex has guidelines on waste disposal and has done a donation round last year. There a printed aids above every garbage can. I guess I am happy with Convex on this one.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
I would never say no to a higher salary :)
I recently got a promised promotion and I got a bonus every year so far. I make more money than my friends in similar positions and VSOP exists. :)
Image
We are a small company in a niche market - image isn't really all that important to me, so I really don't know what to answer.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Really cool. We get paid Microsoft certifications for cloud technologies or similar. We do 1 on 1 coaching and target audience analysis before presentations. I have a 60 minutes learning hour every day to improve my skills - I am encouraged to study project relevant topics, but I can also study other IT related topics.
