So and so... Where good and bad are shaking hands
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
A lot of great folks are working here. Colleagues are helping each other. Lots of activities are possible and always nice. As the overall mood gets worse there are some cracks within these spheres, too though.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Unclear vision and company goals and an overall lack of leadership quality within the c-suite.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Work on communication and leadership attitude and knowledge. Make sure decisions are being made and understood by the staff.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Atmosphere is good in terms of colleagues and on the surface. That actually makes it ok to work here when you are not having too many ambitions. A lot of the colleagues are skilled, likeable and gifted with a good sense of humour.
Kommunikation
The communication is one of the issues. There is not much understanding within the top management about what effective and motivating communication means and what type of infos people need to do their jobs well. Sometimes feels like no one knows what we want. Goal orientation gets almost impossible like that.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Extraordinary between most of the colleagues. Some manage to inject a relatively toxic attitude but mostly the people here are really helping each other out.
Work-Life-Balance
Depends. Some have too much to do, some are having tough times to work effectively cause the company is not taking not enough care of the necessary processes. Some can totally hide and work under the radar and get comfortable with a very positive work life balance. It's a bit random but if you want a good work life balance it is mostly up to you.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
That's where it often gets a bit weird. On the one hand, leadership positions are likeable people. But the needed reflection and true leadership including communication, trust, motivation and knowledge about the "how to build" a company appear to be very poorly developed. That's widely influencing the overall mood within the teams as they have to fight against randomness coming from the top level. It is also very dependent on who your direct leader is as there are quite big differences from very good to ok to very poor - so people perceive the lack of overall good leadership very dependently on their actual leader.
Interessante Aufgaben
If you grab them, they might be yours. But be aware that you have to fight for doing the right things at the right time. But if you are very pro active and experience you can absolutely find and do cool tasks.
Gleichberechtigung
Mostly they are aware of the issue and proud about having more females than the usual fintech - keep up the good work on that front!
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
C-Level is a bit older so no problem here.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Fruits, water, table soccer, events, sports, nice open plan office in lovely Ottensen. Overall good conditions.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
More social than environmental awareness. But a lot of people are cycling and not driving which is nice.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Good for a startup.
Image
Good image within industry.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
You have to be very pro active but it is possible. I can't say much about how it is being dealt with paying for it but I am sure you can get what you need as long as it's not crazily expensive.
