Poor management & a lot of turnover: would not recommend

2,2
Nicht empfohlen
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr für dieses Unternehmen gearbeitet.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

The atmosphere at KI performance is completely chaotic. Everything is urgent until the management just straight up ignores you for weeks and you realize the request wasn’t that urgent after all.

Gehalt/Sozialleistungen

Below market pay, very hard to push for a raise since the company is always “struggling”.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

No social initiatives within the company, no community work.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

I don’t think that the managers acted on any feedback ever given to them. I understand that they are overloaded, but they also never tried to change anything. There’s always a feeling that the company is not doing well financially - but nothing is communicated to the employees. Every quarterly company meeting started with the same phrase “we completely changed our approach to clients and within the company”. After 3-4 of these it was just comical..

Kommunikation

Amongst peers the communication was okay. But you never knew how long your colleagues were going to stay - a lot of people were fired each quarter. The ones who stay at this company for long are usually playing inside politics and can be really toxic.
Communication with management was a disaster. They always said to take ownership, but never enabled anybody to do so - and if you actually decided to do something independently, the reaction from them was usually extremely negative.

Think Twice Before Relocating: Don’t Risk Your Career Here

2,0
Nicht empfohlen
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat bis 2024 für dieses Unternehmen gearbeitet.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Colleagues are very supportive, fun, and easygoing. However, management operates in a typical consulting style—impersonal and transactional. You’re treated as just a number. I’ve never witnessed firing happen so easily; most employers avoid it, but here it happens frequently. They can change their mind at any moment and terminate you, especially during the probation period. It was the most stressful probation period of my life

Work-Life-Balance

Work-life balance can be decent during calm months, but once a project starts, it’s completely disregarded. Holidays are typically only possible during periods when there are no active projects

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Most of the colleagues are great, but those who thrive in this company tend to be quite toxic

Vorgesetztenverhalten

it's just poor

Kommunikation

Communication was very unpleasant. The tech lead put a lot of pressure on me during the first six months, often making me feel like I was a poor-performing employee—but it turned out this was the same for everyone. The manager, surprisingly, was highly incompetent in communication. He didn’t say a single word to me on my last working day and actively avoided me during my final two weeks.

Interessante Aufgaben

During the interview, they’ll emphasize how different they are from other consulting companies, claiming to build platforms from scratch and always choosing the best solutions for clients. In reality, that’s far from the truth. You’ll end up implementing heavy, unnecessary tech for clients who don’t need it or working on dull and repetitive tasks. There may be some decent tasks but it's less often.

Chaotic workplace and poor management

1,8
Nicht empfohlen
Hat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr für dieses Unternehmen gearbeitet.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Chaotic management without a clear plan, a lack of communication and a demanding attitude leads to poor working atmosphere. Often no clear prioritization and internal misunderstandings because one manager does not know what the other one said or even says something contradictory. Overall lack of transparency and micromanagement. Recently the company could afford this, but when there was more to do and efficiency was required, it did not work, resulting in expected and unpaid overtime. Recent layoffs without proper communication and even misleading statements from the employer led to additional uncertainty and a worsening of the situation.

The team spirit in general is relatively good, perhaps because everyone is frustrated by this chaos.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Not really possible.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Despite the overall situation, team spirit was very good.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

The leadership team seems to be overloaded. There is no clear strategy, agreements made are not adhered to and open topics, even if they are only minor, are simply left undone. Unpleasant situations or conversations are avoided and even misleading statements are made as you can also see in the last post. I don't know whether this is intentional or a lack of qualifications, but it doesn't really make the management's actions trustworthy. Overall, I had the feeling that the management was so involved in the operational business due to their micromanagement and not being able to hand over tasks that they had no time to take care of their actual responsibilities.

Kommunikation

Lack of transparency, no alignment between leadership and even misleading statements. In the end, no reliable communication, as given statements can always change, also depending on who you talk to. My impression was that the management team said everything required to avoid discussions whether it was true or not. Employees often had to run after the decision-makers to get an answer, which was usually: “Let's postpone the topic”, resulting in a cycle of several weeks or months. Including running after them again of course.

Amazing colleagues but very questionable leadership / management

2,7
Nicht empfohlen
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr für dieses Unternehmen gearbeitet.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

I recently was dismissed by KI Performance, part of the KI Group, and would like to share my experience during my short tenure to provide transparency for others considering opportunities within the organization.

The onboarding process was exceptionally well-organized and smooth. The HR team ensured that all relevant information was easily accessible, which made transitioning into the role seamless. Additionally, I had the pleasure of working with outstanding colleagues across the different office locations (Cologne, Stuttgart, Munich) and other KI Group companies (KI Professionals, Impact AI, and KI Performance). The atmosphere among colleagues was welcoming, supportive, and genuinely enjoyable, making collaboration a highlight of my experience.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Despite these positives, I observed several critical issues that detracted from my overall experience:

1. Lack of Strategic Clarity

From the outset, it became apparent that the company’s long-term strategy and goals were insufficiently defined, if at all. This lack of direction was particularly evident concerning my role. Despite friendly interactions with the managing director of KI Group and the directors of KI Performance, there was no clear vision for why I was hired or how my role fit into the broader company objectives.


2. Contractual Discrepancy

Upon starting in November, I was presented with a contract identical to the one I had signed in July but was informed that it was now with KI Performance GmbH instead of KI Group, without a detailed explanation. This seemed unusual and raised initial concerns about organizational transparency.


3. Layoffs and Poor Communication

During my four-week tenure, I learned that a significant number of employees had been laid off across various KI Group verticals (KI Professionals, KI Performance, Impact AI) before my arrival. Another colleague was laid off just six weeks into their role during my time there. These terminations, coupled with the lack of a clear sales strategy or guidance from my superiors, created an unsettling work environment.


4. Questionable Termination Process

My own termination was handled poorly and left much to be desired in terms of professionalism. After providing informal feedback to HR about the lack of strategic input and guidance, I was invited to a meeting with the managing director and HR the subsequent week. I anticipated a discussion on these concerns, but instead, I was unexpectedly laid off in a video conference on the basis of dubious reasons. The handling of the process was more than disappointing - my direct supervisor, who is normally in Cologne and had signed the cancellation letter, was present in the Munich office but avoided any personal contact. After the cancellation meeting, my direct superior had already left. Subsequent attempts to contact him were completely ignored, and no personal conversation ever took place.

Broader Observations

In conversations with longer-tenured employees, many reported that morale and organizational structure had significantly deteriorated in 2024. Key issues included:

* Actionism and Unstructured Work Practices: Decisions and workflows often lacked coherence or strategy.

* Management and Communication: The approach to leadership and internal communication left employees feeling undervalued and unclear about their roles.

* Unclear Target Structure: The lack of defined goals contributed to dissatisfaction.

Advice for Prospective Employees

While the camaraderie among colleagues is exceptional, I strongly recommend conducting thorough due diligence, particularly regarding the company’s strategic direction, communication practices, and management structure.

Thanks so much for the great feedback! We’re happy to hear you’re enjoying the flexibility, our supportive team, and the chance to shape your responsibilities.

Medium-sized company that gives young people many opportunities for development

4,5
Empfohlen
Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung für dieses Unternehmen gearbeitet.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

The working atmosphere is consistently positive. Good work is appreciated, and there is no surveillance of individual work. Colleagues are supportive and always willing to help. There is a great deal of understanding when one is not fully knowledgeable in a particular area and needs time to familiarize oneself and acquire knowledge.

Work-Life-Balance

Everyone accepts if you have to keep personal appointments or leave early because of this. The only expectation is that you push things forward yourself and deliver on time. As long as this is within reason, you can organize a lot of things yourself.

Gehalt/Sozialleistungen

For an entry-level position in consulting, the company pays more than the Big4, which is very pleasing.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Here it depends a little on yourself. Due to the different locations, the cohesion within the locations is better than between the locations. However, I would also say that it depends on your own input. There are a lot of nice colleagues!

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

I would say that the company is very young. Nevertheless, the experience of our older colleagues is highly valued and they are a great addition to the team.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

It always depends on which department you are in. Every manager has their own strengths and weaknesses. I get on very well with my managers and you can build up a trusting relationship.

Arbeitsbedingungen

The officer rooms are nice and adequate. Nevertheless, some things could still be improved, such as height-adjustable desks, more telephone booths in the office, ...

Kommunikation

Communication depends very much on how much you demand communication yourself. If you demand a lot, you will get a lot of information, if not, you won't.

Gleichberechtigung

The number of women in the company is steadily increasing, which is very pleasing in this industry. Unfortunately, there are not yet many women in active management positions, but I have the feeling that this could change in the future.

Interessante Aufgaben

As a young person, you are exposed to exciting and diverse topics and entrusted with responsibilities. This leads to a steep learning curve where significant development can occur within a short period.
