Good employer but still room for improvement
Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung im Bereich Vertrieb / Verkauf gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Good work-life balance, hybrid working is a big factor of this.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
For a 10-year-old company, it still behaves very much like a start-up. There is a lack of structure and a breath of fresh air.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
If salaries are only adjusted minimally, then compensation must be made in other ways in order to keep up with the competition. I don't find the existing benefits convincing.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
There are initiatives regarding environmental awareness, but you don't notice or see much of them.

A great start with an unfortunate ending
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr für dieses Unternehmen gearbeitet.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The work atmosphere started off well but declined rapidly after a year. The Munich-based team, except for some management members, grew very close and still enjoys working together. However, the team was significantly reduced after staff had to be hired in another cheaper country. The department head was more often that not absent, leaving only a few team members in the office, sometimes just two of us. As pressure and stress increased, the atmosphere became tense, with other departments eavesdropping on our conversations. Certain employees who were eavesdropping were known to be close to the leadership. Anonymous company-wide surveys were offered, but due to the team's small size, it was hard to be truly honest without being identifiable. If opinions were expressed anonymously or directly, we were told that our attitudes needed to change and nothing else.
These are just a few examples that would translate the bad working atmosphere.
Image
The company is focused on creating a perfect image through a cringy Instagram presence, flashy merchandise, and trendy designs. However, the reality is different. Many staff members don’t realize that office snacks and free coffee don’t actually equate to an ideal workplace.
Work-Life-Balance
Maintaining a good work-life balance was difficult when work consumed your thoughts due to demanding targets and passive-aggressive management. With inflation and low pay, it felt more like a struggle for work-survival balance.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
The best way to move up or be successful is to keep your opinions to yourself and make friends with important people. Hard work is not rewarded. We did get a t-shirt and the best performers got a mug after a painful high-season. That made everything better.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
In the customer service department, the salary does not reflect the work and hours put in. The company justified the pay by comparing it to basic CS roles, but at Holidu, the job involves much more—encompassing Sales, Account Management, Accounting, Tech, and Product.
Targets were set so high that many team members stayed late daily out of fear of not meeting them. Despite the significant effort from each team member, there were no bonuses, no overtime, no 13th-month pay, and only a 2% raise for "Exceeded Expectations" during the annual review.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
It’s still difficult to reconcile the idea of a travel-focused company claiming to have a positive impact on the environment while flying 500 employees to the main office for a company party. That hardly aligns with the environmental values the company so strongly promotes. Within the office, there's nothing groundbreaking—just the standard recycling bins.
Over the past few years, the concept of social awareness has shifted from hiring based on qualifications and potential to forming a DEI team, reflecting the trend of focusing on everything but a candidate's actual abilities. The company claims to promote diversity, but only if it aligns with a single mindset, forgetting the true meaning of diversity.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The Munich team in the CS department trained the staff hired at the new office. Quickly, the attention shifted entirely to the new team, emphasizing quantity over quality. While many individual members were still respected and appreciated, the focus on rapidly hiring a cheaper workforce created a divide between the two offices. The Munich team was left with Team Leads who weren’t even in the same country. Seniority lost its value, and team members began reporting on each other.
The other team rarely voiced their opinions openly, yet the Munich team was perceived as the one always expressing discontent. This led to a situation where we had to start asking questions on Slido with our names attached, to prove that the "harsh and aggressive" questions weren’t coming from us.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
I wish there were more experienced colleagues. The company often feels like a glorified kindergarten, with many young employees spending their days chatting about cats, weight loss, or playing kicker a bit too often.
In contrast, time spent with older staff was far more valuable, both mentally and professionally.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
My first supervisor was excellent; she genuinely motivated me and encouraged me to improve. Her personal touch created a strong bond and trust between us. My second supervisor, however, frequently rescheduled our 1:1s and advised me to stop venting, saying it would make my life easier.
The third supervisor noticed my struggles but offered no clear solutions, instead suggesting I watch someone I had trained do the work I had taught her. I eventually found my own way to meet targets, but when she let me go, she didn’t say a word during the meeting.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Physically, the working conditions are good.
It was great to be able to work from home and other countries.
Kommunikation
When I was hired, I expected to work for Holidu, but it turned out I was actually hired for Bookiply, a different part of the company. While leadership made efforts to be transparent and honest, the real issues lay within the CS department.
For example, employees who didn’t have weekend work in their contracts were still expected to work weekends when the other team traveled to Munich for an office party. No one informed these employees in advance; it only became official after they raised the issue.
After the Director was hired, weekly meetings became filled with vague responses and corporate jargon, with a clear patronizing tone toward staff questions. White lies were common, with employees being made to appear "off sick" for days following their dismissal, which was framed as a mutual agreement. Meanwhile, those dismissed for misconduct received a company-wide farewell, whereas employees let go for expressing their opinions were immediately isolated and told to stop working on the same day.
Gleichberechtigung
No company truly practices "equality," as there will always be a hierarchy—there wouldn’t be CEOs, cleaners, or highly paid underperforming employees otherwise. This is true at Holidu as well. Absolute equality isn’t achievable because everyone has different strengths and weaknesses, though that doesn't mean they aren't valuable. True equality is unrealistic, but fair treatment is essential.
At Holidu, I believe the issue isn’t about gender equality but rather about how employees are treated based on qualifications. The head of the CS department remains in place, while many loyal and capable staff members have been let go. A Director was hired to oversee the department, supposedly to reduce costs and address issues, yet the head of the department, who has been central to many of these issues, has not been removed.
The real inequality at Holidu lies in how team members are treated for expressing their opinions. Those who voiced concerns were dismissed, which highlights the company’s lack of true fairness.
Interessante Aufgaben
It was fascinating to do work for other departments for free—I really got to relive my student days, learning so much without any compensation. Meanwhile, any extra tasks that might actually benefit the department itself? Those were promptly shut down.

I loved it at first but left with a different view. Change is important, but the direction of it is even more.
Hat bis 2024 für dieses Unternehmen gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Very good company and office structure. Excellent equipment and technical support.
I have the impression that the CEO really believes in the company and works to make it grow and reach its full potential. I find him to be a person who cares about Holidu.
Flexibility of work and workation are good advantages to improve work-life balance.
The summer party with all the company's employees flying in from all over Europe is a nice and motivating event.
Team events are also usually a great time to build team spirit (but as I said above, it's not guaranteed that you'll have them, and it may be that, indeed, with the budget to do four a year, your team lead will organize one or two).
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
This is only about the CHT department, not the whole company. That's the part that saddens me the most. I used to love working at Holidu.
The company has grown, and it's important to worry about costs (understandable). The problem was that the head of the department wasn't enough to meet this target, so they hired someone above him to do it. Then everything changed.
Quality is no longer the focus; staying within the company's budget is. The problem is that this is costing the company in other areas.
Colleagues have had to reduce their hours to cope with the stress (on medical advice), have started taking anxiolytics, and have clear signs of burnout and other issues in their mental health that were initiated or aggravated by the work. Colleagues have started skipping lunch to work more, logging on Sunday nights to see how their cases are doing. To solve this, they implemented a tracking system that timed everything you did in the software, which backfired because it only increased anxiety and stress.
It breaks my heart to have to write this because it was a job I was happy with and in which I would have liked to have built a career. Unfortunately, my colleagues who are still there continue to suffer the same kinds of pressures and suffer from so many changes focused on saving money. That's what this department has become: better numbers and less quality and humanity.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Please listen to your employees and not just to the leader who gives you information from their perspective.
CHT is not valued in the company as it should be. The service constantly drops in quality in search of performance (check with HO's). But don't just look at the numbers to justify it. Take the happiness check questionnaire more seriously. Maybe even make a second one for the departments with the lowest happiness scores.
If many employees start claiming the same thing, something deeper is wrong. HR has heard the same things in exit talks.
Look at employees' health. It's neither healthy nor normal to consider burnout and taking anxiolytics an acceptable side effect of the new management measures and policies.
The company was not like that before and could be great again.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
It used to be 5 stars. I truly appreciated the working atmosphere. It was great; everyone was involved and united. For that, I will still give 2 starts.
Unfortunately, our department changed so much that the team is now disconnected, and stress levels are on the roof. Not necessarily amongst all colleagues, but more because we can't waste time to be able to achieve all the new targets, and trust is definitely shaken.
I can confidently say that employees are afraid to speak their minds. Many are already quietly looking for other jobs.
Image
Unfortunately, I can't say much about the company in general because we don't know what it's like in other departments. This is probably because most of them work from home or don't go to the office on the same days.
Overall, I'd say the company is a good place to work. But I wouldn't recommend working in the CHT department.
Work-Life-Balance
The possibility of working from home is great, and working in other locations is also a huge advantage, especially in an international team. This allows you to work while traveling or visiting family.
I deducted one star because there started to be a delay in planning the high season, which made it difficult to plan big summer holidays in advance (which can raise costs). Some weekend planning was also done at the last minute (such as who would cover the markets for special events).
Karriere/Weiterbildung
The department has recently offered new vacancies and the chance to move. However, there is first a test phase of a few months, and the salary compensation is not so great. Unfortunately, some of the successful colleagues also changed their behavior, as if they had become people's managers.
As the department is considerable in size, there is, of course, no opportunity for everyone (which would be difficult).
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
This can vary greatly depending on your position and the country in which you are located. I know that my colleagues in Spain always complain about the low salaries.
There are annual increases and salary reviews, but they are very small.
There's the argument that it's always the market average and that we're always on the same level as the competition. The thing is, Holidu's customer support service does a lot more than just answer phones and write emails, so it should be compensated more.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
There used to be a department just for this, dealing with sustainability. However, it seems to have been reformulated, and I can't say exactly how it is now.
There are donation campaigns once or twice a year (I can't remember for sure now) where we can choose the institutions that will be granted financial support.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Again, it pains me to have to write this, but my first 2 years used to be 10/10. We were a united team that helped each other. There was respect between TL, no arrogance, and totally open communication. The day we went to the office in person was a day we looked forward to. Many of us even became personal friends. Team events were a cool, chill moment for us, and 1:1's were a time to talk, listen, and grow.
Unfortunately, the team started to become segregated, and not just because they built a huge team from our department in another country. Initially, this wasn't a problem at all. We would look forward to seeing them all in person at the summer party. But with so many changes, increased pressure, and stress, cooperation diminished.
It's sad to say, but things got strange, with rivalry between colleagues. Team spirit went from very present to non-existent. Colleagues started to write that we might be a "team" like that in quotation marks. There was no interest in interacting with each other anymore. We win as a team is, sadly, just a slogan.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
In general, the company and our department have always been younger, with a start-up atmosphere (as indeed it was). I don't think this was intentional, but it is due to the company's history and environment.
Recently, older people were hired for the CS department. The intention was good, perhaps to bring more maturity to the team. I don't see any age restrictions as company policy.
However, the management of the department itself found it difficult to manage these new employees, as the pace of work and the pressure to perform increased greatly. This made it very difficult for them, and the company took the decision to "part ways."
Vorgesetztenverhalten
In the beginning, I had amazing TLs who communicated very well and understood the particularities of their market focus. They brought solutions to improve performance and cared about the quality of the work. Back then, I would for sure give 5 starts.
TLs have been redistributed and overloaded, leaving no quality time for this working relationship, with many extra tasks too. 1:1s then started to be all about numbers, and anything we suggested was either not considered or ignored. Comparisons between colleagues from the TLs themselves became explicit, and a ranking system that greatly increased work stress.
Some have done unprofessional things (like telling an employee a list of names of colleagues who have complained about you), and I would say that they are not qualified for the role (even though I like them as a person).
Arbeitsbedingungen
There's nothing to complain about here. You'll get good, quality, new equipment. If you have any problems, you can ask for a new one. You can take screens home with you, and the technical and IT assistance is excellent and fast.
The main office is spacious and bright. Great structure.
Kommunikation
General-wise, I guess the company communicates with employees well and lets you know the next steps.
Department-wise, there are weekly meetings and constant 1:1s with TL, which is great. However, they are not efficient anymore. It is all about numbers and how we were not doing it enough. Practical solutions are not set to help, they are just told to be followed; employees have to fit the new way of working regardless. We do not feel heard by the TLs, head, and director anymore (unless it is something technical to improve numbers).
When they decide it's time to "part ways" with an employee or to let someone go as a "mutual agreement," there is no transparency for the co-workers about the true reasons and parameters. They might claim it is for privacy reasons, but there is no need to lie or change the reasons. Immediate disconnection is set, not even allowing you to say goodbye to your co-workers (this happened more than once).
Gleichberechtigung
I can only say this about my department. Only men are in the top leadership positions (director, head of department, CEO). For team leaders and other technical positions, yes, we have a lot of women, but unfortunately, I can't tell you about salary equity.
Interessante Aufgaben
The cases can be stressful, but they also present unique situations, allowing you to discover cool travel possibilities. Funny stories and humor between departments were present at various times in the early years.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Ich arbeite seit wenigen Wochen bei Holidu und kann ehrlich sagen, dass es ein großartiger Ort zum Arbeiten ist. Die Unternehmenskultur ist sehr unterstützend und kollegial, und es gibt immer spannende Projekte, an denen man arbeiten kann. Das Management ist zugänglich und fördert die berufliche Weiterentwicklung. Die Work-Life-Balance ist hervorragend, und es gibt viele Möglichkeiten zur Weiterbildung. Insgesamt ein fantastischer Arbeitgeber, der seine Mitarbeiter schätzt und fördert.

Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat bis 2022 für dieses Unternehmen gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Die wenigen Vorteile, die es bietet
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Die Planung ist im Allgemeinen ziemlich schlecht; Um ein bekanntes Beispiel zu nennen: Das Unternehmen hat kürzlich wegen „Mangel an Geldern“ Massenentlassungen vorgenommen, weil es zu viele Mitarbeiter eingestellt hat, es aber trotzdem wieder tut. Sie haben nichts gelernt.
Mangelnder Respekt im Büro oder mangelndes Einfühlungsvermögen gegenüber Ausländern sind alltäglich. Es scheint, als hätte ich das Recht, Menschen verbal und finanziell zu beschimpfen, wenn ich ein Stück Papier besitze, aus dem hervorgeht, dass ich Bürger bin.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Anstatt für katastrophale und endlose KPIs zu arbeiten (die niemanden interessieren), sollten sie für konkrete, kurze und leicht umsetzbare Ziele arbeiten. Ziele, die sich an ihren Nutzern orientieren sollten und nicht an Unternehmensakquisitionen oder zufälligen Launen des Managements.
Die LinkedIn-Beiträge sind ein großer Mangel an Respekt für uns alle, die gefeuert wurden. Etwas Einfühlungsvermögen und eine Gewissenserforschung tun ihnen ganz gut.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Es ist eine Atmosphäre des ständigen Drucks und der passiven Aggressivität
Image
Bei Veranstaltungen und im Alltag werden wir ständig daran erinnert, wie gut das Unternehmen ist und dass wir dankbar sein sollten, dass wir in unserer Position bleiben. Dies entspricht nicht der Realität.
Work-Life-Balance
Sie vereinbaren zu jeder Tageszeit willkürliche Treffen, ohne zu fragen und ohne Vorankündigung.
Ich wäre fast gezwungen gewesen, an meinem Geburtstag eine Geschäftsreise anzutreten, wenn an diesem Tag ein Vorgesetzter anwesend gewesen wäre.
In meinen letzten Tagen wurde bereits auf die Idee gedrängt, ohne Angabe von Gründen öfter ins Büro zu gehen.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Sie stellen ein Budget für Studien zur Verfügung, das jedoch recht niedrig ist
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Das Gehalt ist für Ausländer niedrig und für Einheimische normal. Sie stellten mich für das im Visum geforderte Mindestgehalt ein. Sie versprachen mehrere Gehaltserhöhungen und nur wenige wurden erfüllt (sogar während der Entlassung).
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Viele kleine Plastikbehälter und Getränkedosen in der gesamten Anlage
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Die meisten von ihnen sind Unternehmensspione, daher kann man nicht frei sprechen
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Es gibt ältere Arbeitnehmer, die aber die Tatsache, dass die meisten von ihnen Kinder haben, ausnutzen, um ihnen mit Entlassungen zu drohen.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Mein Vorgesetzter ist mit seiner Arbeit frustriert und lässt sie deshalb an seinen Untergebenen aus. Mein Vorgesetzter hat mehr als einmal zugegeben, dass er in diesem Bereich des Geldes wegen arbeitet, aber er hasst es.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Mein Chef zwang mich und meine Kollegen auch dazu, Aufgaben auszuführen, die nicht unseren Pflichten entsprachen.
In Spanien fehlt der Komfort deutscher Büros völlig, obwohl mehrfach eine Verbesserung gefordert wurde
Das Frontend wird nicht ernst genommen und tatsächlich sind die meisten „leitenden“ Entwickler Backend-Entwickler und im Gespräch mit anderen Entwicklern ist ihnen auch aufgefallen, dass die Seniorität einiger Kollegen nicht stimmt, und ich verstehe ehrlich gesagt nicht, warum sie Leute befördern
Kommunikation
Das Verhältnis zu Kollegen ist im Allgemeinen, mit Ausnahme mancher Menschen, recht unangenehm.
Gleichberechtigung
Einwanderer werden unterschiedlich behandelt und ihre Visa ausgenutzt, indem man ihnen niedrige Löhne und Aufgaben anbietet, die niemand machen möchte (wenn sie die Erwartungen nicht erfüllen, werden sie entlassen und entsprechend abgeschoben).

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
If you're looking for a "traditional" company with established structures, processes, hierarchies, and a monotonous job, this is not your place :-)
Verbesserungsvorschläge
As the company has been growing a lot, I hope they will be able to keep up the spirit and the positive work environment. Clearer processes and structures could help here and there. On the other hand, I feel that this is normal for scale-ups like Holidu and it also comes with certain benefits like being adaptive and acting fast.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Great, diverse team, flat hierarchies with very approachable leadership team, a lot of opportunities to grow and take over responsibility from the beginning in a fast-paced environment.
Image
We position and present ourselves as a fast-growing and fun company to work for, with great emphasis on our values.
Work-Life-Balance
Like other scale-ups, we often operate with limited team and time resources, so I wouldn't say that I ever have too little to do. Still, there is encouragement and different initiatives from the company to foster work-life balance and increase awareness about mental health etc. Employees can also choose to work 90% and take additional unpaid vacation days.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Besides structured and transparent career paths, every employee also has a development budget and the opportunity to have development talks with their managers.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
I feel like salaries are fair and meet the market standard.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Since I joined, sustainability efforts have increased year over year to create more awareness within the teams and customers, offset emissions, ...
Support campaigns for different occasions are regularly organized by employees, office management or founders.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
I truly enjoy going to the office as all my colleagues are very friendly, support each other a lot and visibly enjoy spending time with each other across levels and teams/departments. "We win as a team" is one of the company values and it is truly lived.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Since it is quite a young company, there are not too many older colleagues but the ones I know are fully integrated into the team.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Conversations are held at eye level and with respect, ideas are considered from anyone in the company and context is shared continuously to enable individuals to excel at their job.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Nice office environment, hybrid working model. IT support is always available to help out when needed.
Kommunikation
Communication is very transparent. There is a bi-weekly meeting the whole company participates in, where updates, numbers etc. are presented and questions from employees are addressed. The founders and teams also share updates, kudos and achievements regularly on Slack. When Slack noise became too high in a department recently, actions were taken to bundle information and updates better in a different format.
Gleichberechtigung
I have never witnessed or heard of a case of discrimination! There have been different initiatives regarding diversity and inclusion in the company lately, and the founders also position themselves very openly against discrimination.

Generally, the company culture is declining and has been severely hit this year. Maybe it'll manage to improve over the next few months, but if not, I'll need to explore my options.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Try more to live by your values and show more solidarity towards your employees - all of them. Or adjust your expectations.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Was great when I first started, but has seriously declined this year. I don't trust management anymore after everything that has happened.
Image
Not so brilliant anymore, as far as I can tell.
Work-Life-Balance
Great place for workaholics who have no other time-consuming interests or commitments outside of work (family, friends, hobbies, children...). There are some internal measures to try promote work-life balance, but these are routinely ridiculed by people working late nights and weekends and even bragging about it. Some of these people have leadership roles (EMs and such) and should know better about what kind of example and expectations they are setting.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Some offers for learning and development and a dedicated team behind it. Root problem, though, is that there is never enough time and pumping out features takes priority.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
It's ok, but expectations are high for the next round of salary adjustments.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Some good awareness, but doesn't solve the root problem about all the (air) travel that this business is causing. Cannot be compensated for by hosts taking measures to make their house a bit more eco-friendly.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Still good in some teams, but people have become a lot more cautious about what they will say to whom. Not as easy-going as is used to be.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Hardly any, maybe because their contributions aren't valued as much as us youngsters with the latest hottest frameworks. Also, sometimes it seems the special situations of older colleagues are not taken into account enough (e.g. when they have a family to support).
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Some people are quite good and empathetic, but others don't really behave in line with the values. Also, for technical leadership, after a certain level people should focus on strategy and not be hands-on coding anymore (and when they do, they should lead by creating high-quality architectures and code, IMHO). Also, why fire so many and only a few weeks later start hiring again? Doesn't make sense.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Offices are good and please atmosphere. Lots of goodies, nice coffee. In terms of compensation, market adequate, but inflation needs to be compensated for urgently.
Kommunikation
Not clear what information can be trusted anymore. Massive funding round only one year ago, massive lay-offs only a few months afterwards. External communication, e.g. on LinkedIn, also needs to be more sensitive towards all the colleagues that had to go. Look at the recent posts and think about how those that got fired might feel when seeing this.
Gleichberechtigung
It's ok, but the higher one gets in the hierarchy, the more male it becomes.
Interessante Aufgaben
Technically interesting and challenging, especially when it comes to cloud infrastructure topics. However, actual software engineering skills are lacking a bit.
