A good place for pros or wannabe-pros with enterpreneural mindset
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Good things: very open comfortable atmosphere. You can easily talk with anyone openly share your thoughs, problems. Express yourself in a way you like. Not much of bureocracy, hierarchy is pretty flat. I'd say people are most valuable resource here. Many are very experienced. Majority made a shift from corporations to a startup consciously. Almost noone has the "I am a star" attitude. Dogs, beer and nerfguns in the office are the normality. English is main language. Noone expects that you were any good with German although most of the current team are locals.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
We claim that we are a tech company. But current setup is not enough to call yourself a truly tech startup. You simply need 2x more developers to move in a pace you want. Current setup forces almost everyone to combine roles and do a lot of tasks that can be done by juniors.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Think of more benefits to provide. Bigger quieter office, some more perks that you can touch and feel. Food, transport, pensions, cars, discounts, bonuses - anything in that direction is missing now.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Healthy, friendly. Conflicts are rare. Happens, as in any place but usually solved fast.
Kommunikation
Pretty good. There might be isolated cases but nothing critical
Kollegenzusammenhalt
I wouldnt call my colleagues friends, but they are very good co-workers. Open-minded, hard-working, ambitious.
Work-Life-Balance
Not the strongest point. Many people work harder and longer than average and that is considered as normal.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Management here is awesome. They are smart, sensitive to what is happening in the company, they listen to feedback and change rapidly. On of the best management teams I had. Not everyone has a solid people manager background but all of them are decent people you can openly talk to. They are still acting like humans, not gods like in other companies.
Interessante Aufgaben
50/50. Some tasks are a challenge, but there is a solid share of routine things as well. Good thing is most of the time you can choose or suggest a way to proceed
Gleichberechtigung
No issues here. Everyone is welcome.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
We dont have many. But older ones still have young hearts.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Computers are top notch. Current office fascilities are poor. It is pretty small for the team as we are growing. I hope with the new office things get easier.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
I would not say that we think about it much.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Salary is ok. Will not let you buy sportcars but you would never starve as well. The downside is a lack of benefits. Current office has no cantine. No transport subcidy is offered. There is a gym discount but it is not a big thing. No discounts for shops. No additional pension payments etc. No leased cars (I've heard about leased bikes though). So lets say currently you get good flat salary + iphone of your choice + telekom mobile contract and thats it.

I guess it is a match, yes. We are young, growing and ambitious startup with all typical problems of growth.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
This is tricky. You have unlimited opportunities as enterpreneur. Suggest initiatives and introduce team, be proactive and things might happen. Do not expect promotion every 2 year for everyone though. There is no such thing as a planned promotion here.
