Company forces to change true facts in negative reviews!
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
There were colleagues who made the work bearable
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The wrong image, the poorly functioning product.
The injustice in the evaluation of performance between the individual departments
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Strategic hires according to qualification.
More consideration for employees
Arbeitsatmosphäre
It was more of a competition between the individual departments than an "Olympic Sports Team", which was always preached as one of the values.
While some teams tried to fight for gold, other teams followed the motto of being there is everything and went backwards.
In the meetings, it sometimes felt like being in a bad movie when massive mistakes and incompetence were sold as victories.
The product has not evolved for years and only works in theory. You wonder what Product and IT are doing all day, because it can't be developing the product.
But well, many have used their office days on site for hours on the terrace for meetings in the sun and exciting stories from their „remote work“ and vacations ... ehh I mean workation.
Especially as the departments are very large and nobody is checked to see whether they are working or not. Unfortunately, the new CTO hasn't changed anything. Nevertheless, the "successes" were celebrated every week, such as the processing of a single ticket...
Kommunikation
Open communication was demanded. The reality consisted of a lot of trash talk behind the back.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Everyone is fired up against everyone else by constantly blaming other departments for mistakes in order to cover up their own inability.
It also has a lot to do with the hiring policy. The last management hires in particular have underlined the problem.
I cannot explain in detail, because the company will change facts anytime.
Work-Life-Balance
Very flexible but extremely unfair in terms of control.
While Product and IT only had to open their laptops under palm trees and go surfing and were celebrated for it, there was strong control in other departments and general insinuations that you don't work in the home office.
It got worse when one of the founder took over departmental responsibility again after the layoff.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
The majority of decisions were made on the basis of gut instinct and personal feelings in the back room.
People play with the livelihoods of employees without giving it much thought.
Interessante Aufgaben
With decisions changing every month, it was never boring, but there was never a clear line either
Gleichberechtigung
There is no such thing. I'm not allowed to list facts because the company has them deleted. Says a lot about how employees and other opinions are treated.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Overall okay. But there are not many.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Air conditioning saved you in the summer even if the offices were too big for the number of people on site.
Modern work equipment was provided and there were always snacks and drinks.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
More is told than done.
Offices were run idle, many trips were made and the company was flown in from all over Europe every quarter for pointless activities.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
You could never be sure, as pricing changed on a weekly basis or areas of responsibility were transferred at the expense of bonus structures without consultation.
It all got worse when a new management was hired in account management, who had already run a company down before and did not work in a similar position for years.
Image
Externally, the company presents itself as a modern SaaS company.
But the product works, if at all, very manually and like a recruiting platform with users writing to each other.
Promises to customers and employees are not kept.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Not existing
