Employees and most managers always try to genuinely improve working conditions. There's definitely areas of improvement, but I personally feel comfortable talking about any issues publicly or directly with managers.
Ecosia has an extremely positive image with users, employees and partners. Most hires have applied to Ecosia because they already loved the project.
Ecosia is an amazing place to work if you have a family or a disability that demands more time and flexibility out of you. It's usually possible to take time off in short notice for personal matters. You're never expected to work extra hours for free
There's definitely some room to grown and progress on your career at Ecosia but that greatly depends on your position. For Software Engineers, career progression is very streamlined. Your education is also sponsored with yearly allowances, books, and time off for learning.
Ecosia strives to meet or slightly exceed the market average for jobs in Berlin for each specific role. The salary ranges are transparent for all positions including the CEO. There are several other employee benefits. Salaries are also not location-based, which means moving to a cheaper city with your family and working remote might be beneficial. In the same vein, moving to a more expensive city will not mean your salary is adapted to the higher cost of living.
There's only vegetarian & vegan food in the kitchen and mostly organic and fair trade. We also offset our office energy use with solar panels.
Specially since covid, i feel like we pay so much more attention to the ways we work together, specially since many teams are remote/hybrid.
From my experience, Ecosia actually has and older and more family-oriented workforce than the average tech company. People also stay longer in this company than in other companies. I haven't witnessed any discrimination of older employees or candidates.
I think in general everyone is very empathetic but in more extreme cases where people have had specific needs, these needs were not well understood by superiors and led to unnecessary conflicts. Despite steps in the direction of improving awareness of disabilities and improving communication, this is still a recurring issue. I still believe Ecosia is better than the average company at this, but I'd love it if we didn't settle for average, and instead were leaders in inclusive working evironments.
The office is cozy and inviting even if we can all work from home. There's a well equipped kitchen if you want to have breakfast or lunch, and a shower if you came to working cycling under the heavy rain. All-in-all good working conditions in the office. The main downside is that it's only partially accessible. There's only a cargo elevator and the entrances don't have ramps.
Also, people bring their dogs in the office sometimes.
Internal commns hasn't always perfect but everyone strives to do better.
Leadership lacks diversity, but as a whole Ecosia has a lot of equality in terms of gender identity, country of origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation. I suppose we are strongly lacking in diversity of political ideology since Ecosia is obviously very left-leaning by design (which is not a bad thing).
I suppose this is highly subjective, and specially depends on your role. Software Engineers have plenty of freedom in choosing projects that they find interesting, and changing teams to pursue career growth is usually possible. We're given plenty of time to work on maintenance work and code debt as well.
The people are open and solutions-oriented. I've recently joined and it's nice to see that the external image is the same as what's happening inside the company. Purpose-driven & caring.
People love working here, that I've definitely noticed :)
30 vacation days are offered, and it's advised to take at least 2 weeks together at least once a year. As a perk, one can get mental health support from professionals. There are no-meeting-days 2x/week, to make sure everyone finds their focus time. I feel like it's a good balance.
I have a lot of opportunities and room to plan out my next step with my manager.
I was offered a fair compensation above my expectations. The salary ranges are available to the employees to see and work on their pdp for the following salary cycles.
Top!
My team is very focused on the well-being and happiness level of the teammates. Open culture is cultivated, and we try to have team events out in nature, reflecting Ecosia's values.
The teams set their OKRs quarterly and have realistic expectations, I'd say. There are regular Retros to observe what could be done better.
The People team is relatively small and is doing its best to communicate with the company on weekly basis about what's happening. Regular feedback surveys.
To my knowledge, fairness is a regularly discussed topic at Ecosia. We have a lot to learn but we're on the right path I hope. Additionally, Ecosia takes DE&I very seriously. I found it fascinating there's a working group for this purpose, changing the members every 6 months and working closely with the whole company, whoever can contribute.
It is what you make it- you shape your role with the help of your peers and manager. If capacity allows, we come up with new interesting tasks to do, or to set as part of our OKRs for the next quarter.
Perfect work-life balance, very supportive and diverse team, open communication on all levels including the top-management
Millions of trees planted!
Macht einfach weiter so
Super nette, qualifizierte Kollegen
40% weibliche Software Entwickler ist etwas was die Arbiet für mich sehr viel angenehmer macht, als in all meinen vorherigen Tech jobs. Natürlich gibt es immer noch was zu tun, aber hier hat man wirklich das Gefühl, dass alle etwas tun wollen.
People genuinely care about the idea behind Ecosia as well as each other. The mission is really motivating, the work environment the nicest I've worked in so far. The office is awesome!
Growing from a start-up to a sizeable team wasn't always easy and there have been growing pains, which could've been avoided. More doing, less planning and evaluating would be good, as would be a bigger focus on diversity. All in all still a lovely company.
The atmosphere on the team is usually really nice, people are very emotionally invested and motivated. Great work culture but sometimes too high expectations for too little people. HR department desperately needed.
