A mess of of contradictions in management
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The initial team I was on was awesome, and the team was great. They moved me onto a team with combined experience with the company of less than 5 months, and just woah....it was dumb.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
I'll be honest outside of the initial manager I'd had, and that team...Didn't really dig this place at all. I think it's gonna hop on/hop off point for developers who want to wait 7 months before applying for a new gig.
They just don't have their employee communication, business plan, Chief Technical Officer, career guidance figured out.
Place is a wreck.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Stop hiring so many managers, and focus on hiring good managers. Don't put bad managers in charge of new teams.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
It's fine, other departments seem more fun.
Kommunikation
They use MS teams, and then propose a "Guild system" but no one talks in their guild channels. If you try to take part in guild channels you get skylit and I don't think some of the management likes that.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Some folks are on the same page, but management rarely would interact with my team in a productive way.
Work-Life-Balance
It was fine
Vorgesetztenverhalten
My supervisor was weird. They were super untrustworthy, and not really into open team work. Often talked a lot of talk about agile, team friendly communication, but rarely had the management skills to back it up.
The management team all have different ideas how to operate, and this ends up creating havoc for the newer less establsihed teams.
Interessante Aufgaben
I didn't really work on anything unique while I was there. The management team through around big words like domain driven development etc. But very little about their cross team comms setup reflected what they said.
Gleichberechtigung
I'll give it to them here...but i think because it's almost impossible to not get hired here.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
seemed fine. It's definitely a younger folks place
Arbeitsbedingungen
Office is super loud, the coffee is not great, there aren't enough bathrooms for a 500 person office.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Salary is awful. I went through the entire interview process asking for xxx amount of money, and when they had gotten to the final offer they said "We can't find it in our budget", even though they had initially said they had.
Thought this was super shady
Image
They greenwash themselves, but at the end of the day, this is a company importing almost all of its products from the cheapest possible providers in Shenzen.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
They don't have a career map, and they make up titles based on what you request. I wouldn't recommend this for a long term job seeker.
