Company which is open to change
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Flexible work. I can't flex this enough, this is really good. Never in my life i had more flexible work times and locations. Compensation for work also is great.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Like mentioned above the communication of new opportunities from c level to the rest could and should be improved.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
More involvement of architects/engineers into leads would be nice. Better project management so deadlines are more relaxed would also be a nice benefit.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
I work fully remote and can't make it otherwise. This is accepted and due to the full flex nature of the company i can work whenever i want. The only required meetings are once a week so one can plan them accordingly.
Kommunikation
Communication is a bit hard sometimes. Many leads are "hidden by default" due to c level needing to sign strict NDAs with the involved party. This for my feeling could improve since we all have a NDA with the company which should hold for such kind of situations (excluding the externals maybe)?
Kollegenzusammenhalt
In engineering where i work we have good collaboration on problems. We discover improvements and implement them together. Never had a problem with finding someone to bounce ideas off and getting proper feedback on ideas (may they be bad or good).
Work-Life-Balance
I would rate this 12/10. Due to my personal situation i need lots of ad-hoc time for dealing with it. This was never easier than in this company. I work fully remote with no core working time. There is no work time tracking. If you get your stuff done nobody will ask you when and how you have done it
Vorgesetztenverhalten
This is a downside of this company i feel. C Level is heavily disconnected from the daily operations and projects. They are more focused on getting deals closed and don't involve the company beforehand. This leads to "pop-up" projects which have deadlines which are not exactly easy to hold. Involving the company earlier into those processes of closing new deals would improve this situation a ton.
Interessante Aufgaben
Since this is a highly regulated environment it's fun to deal with that kind of challenges. Also the amount of volume we need to move is nice to have and the amount of detail this requires is something i like.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
We have younger and older colleagues and never had a problem with it. It feels that everyone can talk to anyone without any fear and borders. This is very refreshing since there is no set "mindset" in most people.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Like i said above full flex on working hours / location. You get a macbook and can use it for everything you need (i also use it for private stuff from time to time). I also use the Jobrad heavily and the other discounts the company offers due to it being part of REWE group
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Most of the decisions we take as a company (currently) don't have a special environmental aspect in them
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
The salary is good industry standard. You on yourself are responsible for dealing new conditions though. This is a plus for me since i don't like "general" union style contracts where someone else defines your worth of work. For socials this is regulated, you get german insurances and rent plans.
Image
I haven't heard much bad from customers or others when it comes to REWE or paymenttools in general. I would say this is a solid image and i'm proud to say that i work here.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
If you want you can get education as long as it's profitable for the company. You can take all sorts of online courses (be it code warrior, online certs from AWS/GCP/Azure etc.). It's also possible to get trainers for learning. There are also workshops from time to time to exchange knowledge gained with others (also across companies in the REWE group)
Arbeitgeber-Kommentar
Dear Colleague,
We really appreciate the time and effort you put it in to leaving this feedback. We are pleased that the working environment is suitable for you and you are enjoying your time with us! It's great that you are enjoying your work as an individual and with your team. The payment space is pretty cool :) We acknowledge the information flow and the "pop up" nature of projects and we hope that as we grow and shift as a company, this becomes a smoother funnel of information and work flows are optimized. Continue learning, continue growing, continue enjoying! We are glad to have you here!
All the best,
Bridgett Vajda
