Boys Club Leadership + Toxic "Highperforming Culture"
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- Understanding if any private matters happen + vacation policy is great
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- Working hours for any customer-related role is 60 hours+
- Founders rather party in Africa than fix problems with the team
- If you do shifts please live "all hands on deck" instead of all employees work but founders can leave whenever they want
- Internal learning sessions are a joke when a founder who works 80-100 hours a week gives you a lesson on a healthy work-life balance
- Yes-man/woman culture towards the founders gets rewarded and makes the company stagnate
- Company misses a lot of trends through not listening to employees and only pushing something if the board mentions it, a peer has it or the leadership team saw it on Linkedin
Verbesserungsvorschläge
- Change the C-Level, especially one of the founders and his temper will be a big problem as we advance
- Get rid of the Boys Club, it's great that the Top 5 male employees have a Whatsapp Group but stop ignoring people and work with every employee
- Fix hiring by focusing on fit instead of gender and try to develop your people by spending money on them. Junto is a joke.
- Understand the people that actually care about the company and don't fake it for their own good (FA)
- Stop making stupid mistakes (office) and listen to the opposition. Building an echo chamber in your boy's club won't help the company progress
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Generally high-pressure environment + occasional blaming culture through part of the leadership - Wrong hires, who do not value the Hive values destroyed the will for employees to push together since they take praise but other employees don't get the spotlight.
Kommunikation
Is really bad in crisis times and screaming happens frequently
Kollegenzusammenhalt
People just try to use other people to save face and impress leadership
Work-Life-Balance
Okay as long as there are no accidents or problems
Vorgesetztenverhalten
The leadership team is a boys club that does what it wants - hiring the new leadership was not dominated by fit but rather that a female is needed for the position.
Interessante Aufgaben
At the start yeah, now not so much since the Silo has been built
Gleichberechtigung
Early employees with a lot of Facetime dominate the opinions and other opinions will not get accepted if the Founders don't like the person. The company wants to have gender equality but pushes females in the interview process instead of hiring the better male applicant.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
As there is only one older colleague its not a problem
Arbeitsbedingungen
Non-paid fulfillment shifts are the norm every now and then or an unpaid CX push since the CX Team is not able to innovate
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Fake it until you make it
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Salary was okay
Image
Image is still great but is being tarnished through the exodus of a lot of great employees
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Interns become Seniors, then team leads in 6 months with no additional training. Meanwhile, leadership has to cut promotions and has no incentive to train people on their team since a hire-and-fire culture is part of the "high-performing" mindset
