Come for the job - stay for the people
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- Atmosphere, employee attitude
- The actual work that I do
Arbeitsatmosphäre
When I started working at plista several years ago, the first thing I noticed was the can-do atmosphere. Everyone was actually working towards a common goal. Everyone was happy and excited to be there. It was an incredible feeling and we have retained that until this day!
Kommunikation
Communication is very good. Everyone tries to be clear and never disrespectful. Communication structures down from the management or up to the management seem to work. Everyone is available if there are problems. Sometimes the communication between operational teams (i.e. teams with direct customer contact) and non-operational teams (i.e. IT) could be better but it is being actively improved.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Best people in the world
Work-Life-Balance
Plista acutally tries to help a lot with work-life balance. We can spend (at the time of writing) 20% of our time in home office which helps if you have an appointment or something. Lot's of sport activities in the office itself, a lot of activities outside (e.g. we rented a beach volleyball field where people meet after work). Lot's of non work related activities that help you cope with your job (plista academy, mindfulness training, etc).
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Always impeccable. Respectful, they give you a lot of freedom to do your job and they actually care about you and your work.
Interessante Aufgaben
Always interesting work and I like it. As part of my job I get to work with the actual big data that plista produces, i.e. from billions of impressions on our widgets, training models and making predictions. But not only that: Over the course of my employment I had the chance to be a Data Scientist, a PHP Developer, a DevOp and more.
Gleichberechtigung
We value equal rights I think everyone in the company is actively working towards it.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
The average age is low, but there are some employees that are a bit older. They are treated just like everyone else, so...fine I guess?
Arbeitsbedingungen
The office is really nice, work places are big and you have enough place for yourself. It's a bit hot in the summer ;)
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Plista has a huge social and environmental conscience. We donate money, we have what we call the plista Causes where we use our work time and plista's money to work towards environmental protection (e.g. reduce company carbon footprint), do pro bono work in schools (e.g. RediSchool), and much more. We grew a forest, where we plant a tree for each employee (treedom dot net project).
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
I mean, money could always be better, right? But it's fine right now.
Image
plista has amon co-workers as well as friends I tell about the job a very good image. It is a bit hard at first to explain that I am working for an AdTech company, because the image has been tainted a lot by Facebook and Google with their privacy exploits, but we are actually the good guys here.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
We can spend one day every two weeks for our own projects which we can use to further our education. My team is visiting conferences and doing journal clubs. Everyone in the Company has a so called development plan where he can choose how he wants to better himself (i.e. get better at coding, get better at presentations, etc). We offer language courses, sports, you name it.
