Great place to work!
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- Definitely great culture!
- The team and working atmosphere is exactly what I was looking for (young and dynamic but still professional)
- Great onboarding (In my opinion unmatched for the size of the company)
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Maybe already compile a list of resources that employees can spend their development budget on to further encourage them to do so (or offer other support)
Please improve the commuting support. I can not properly use the monthly allowance as my train ticket price is too high.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The working atmosphere at DataGuard is amazing. Even though, the team consists of over 30 different nationalities and cultures, everyone is respected. I felt welcome from day 1.
Kommunikation
The contact to the founders is very casual, and I'm not afraid to state my opinion. Besides weekly meeting in my team and department, everyone gets updated about the latest achievements and challenges in the weekly, company-wide all-hands.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
My colleagues are really great. I joined my team straight from University and even though I'm the youngest and the most inexperienced, everyone was really welcoming and helped me to get settled in my position pretty fast.
Work-Life-Balance
As DataGuard is still a ScaleUp, one should not be afraid to put in the extra hours if needed. That being said, there's a great work-life balance here at DataGuard. The working hours are quite flexible, and my team lead is really understanding of individual situations. With the flex policiy, I only have to come to the office twice a week and can work from home the rest of the time.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
I'm still starting out in my new position, so maybe I'm not the best one to say. But my team lead is really supportive so far. He gives me the time I need to get settled properly and encourages honest feedback from both sides. Throughout the team meetings, he is very understanding of the team members.
Interessante Aufgaben
As I just started in my position, a lot of my tasks still consist of the onboarding. However, I got the impression that tasks are equally distributed between team members and that everyone has the chance to influence the work by bringing forward their ideas and feedback
Gleichberechtigung
From the beginning of the interview process, I felt that everyone was given equal opportunities and that everyone had equal treatment in their position. This has also been reflected since the beginning of my work at DataGuard.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
There are not a lot of older colleagues in the company. However, the ones that have been with DataGuard since the beginning are valued and appreciated.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The IT set-up and technical support are really amazing! The only area for improvement I see is the table situation. At the moment, my team works in an open-plan office room. This can sometimes be quite noisy when everyone is doing calls.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
The company already started supporting some initiatives around (female) empowerment, especially in developing countries. Also, there are some efforts to do good for the environment. I think there is still room for improvement. However, I have no doubt that further efforts will be made since the people team is doing a great job in this regard and is really committed.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
For an entry position, DataGuard offers me a great compensation, especially if you consider the benefits consisting of gym membership, development budget, and commuting subsidy.
Image
I think DataGuard's image is great (even though you probably won't come in contact with the company in your daily life). Privacy and Information Security is a great field to be in at the moment.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
DataGuard offers great opportunities for career progression since it is growing so rapidly! Also, every employee gets a dedicated development budget which can be used for any kind of development including trainings, workshops, books, and e-learning courses. However, to benefit from this, you have to be proactive and take the first step.
