Sehr Unprofessionell
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The art team was amazing and everyone in this team was supportive and understood that we are actually professionals who do this work. That is about as far as my positive experience goes.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Working at Granny was an incredibly challenging experience that I feel compelled to share with others. Unfortunately, my time at the company was marked by an unhealthy work environment characterized by bullying, manipulation, and gossip.
One of the most significant issues I encountered was a pervasive lack of respect for open and inclusive communication. Attempts to contribute to conversations were often dismissed or ignored, creating an environment where certain individuals believed their tenure at the company elevated them above everyone else. This attitude was both palpable and damaging to the overall team dynamic.
The culture at Granny seemed to foster an environment where some long-term employees felt entitled to treat others poorly, perpetuating a sense of hierarchy that had a negative impact on collaboration and morale. This behavior extended beyond mere workplace dynamics, as it was indicative of a broader issue with the company culture.
One of the most disheartening aspects of my experience was the apparent lack of interest from the leadership or board in addressing these pervasive problems. Concerns and issues were routinely dismissed, and there seemed to be little effort made to create a healthier and more supportive work environment.
The cumulative effect of the unhealthy atmosphere at Granny took a toll on multiple people's mental health, myself included. It is disheartening to reflect on the impact this workplace had on my well-being and that of my colleagues.
In sharing this review, my intention is to provide an honest account of my experiences at Granny. It is my hope that prospective employees will consider these aspects when evaluating whether this is the right workplace for them.

The atmosphere is dreadful, with gossip and bullying being the driving force for work-relationships.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The prevalent issues of bullying, manipulation, and a lack of respect for colleagues spilled over into the team dynamics, making it difficult to foster a sense of unity. The hierarchical attitudes displayed by some long-term employees created an atmosphere where collaboration felt strained, and newer team members were often excluded from meaningful interactions.
Interessante Aufgaben
My experience at Granny has led me to observe a concerning pattern in the company's client relations and creativity. Unfortunately, it appears that Granny struggles with retaining interesting clients and tends to recycle ideas, which impacts the overall quality of the work.
Gleichberechtigung
As a woman, I have had a horrible time here.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Co-workers who have been at this company for a while have a certain arrogance and think they can belittle those around them.
Image
My experience at Granny has brought to light a stark contrast between the company's public image of inclusivity and the reality within the workplace. Despite the outward portrayal of being an inclusive and "no assholes" environment, my time here has revealed a different, and unfortunately, less positive reality.
While Granny positions itself as an inclusive workplace, the actual atmosphere within the company suggests otherwise. It has become clear that the touted values of inclusivity and a "no assholes" policy are not consistently upheld. The workplace culture does not always align with the advertised image, leaving employees to contend with an environment that falls short of the expectations set by the company's public face.
The discrepancy between the company's image and the day-to-day experiences of employees is not only disheartening but also impacts the overall work atmosphere. This misalignment can create a sense of disillusionment among employees who initially joined Granny with the expectation of a genuinely inclusive and respectful workplace.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There seems to be a notable disparity in the promotion process, with a noticeable trend that those who are closely affiliated with specific individuals within the company are more likely to advance. Unfortunately, this dynamic creates an environment where professional growth and financial recognition are seemingly contingent on personal connections rather than merit or performance.
