Very nice company culture and Managing Directors, poor compensation
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- Managing Directors are really smart, open and fun
- Everyone is heard if he has valuable ideas
Verbesserungsvorschläge
- Company with good culture but make your people feel valued by giving them what they deserve
- Be aware that people within single teams or across teams speak to each other and find out about untruths or "exceptions" made which is very bad for the harmony and culture
- More diversity in the Management team
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Friendly colleagues and very open culture across all seniority levels. You can reach out for help to everyone including the founders. Going to work/ to the office is something enjoyable. I feel like this has changed a little bit recently due to the merger
Kommunikation
The Management tries to make decisions and changes transparent and give the team the feeling they are involved. However my feeling is that what is communicated is not always the full truth but rather what they think should be communicated
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Colleagues are very nice and always willing to help. Team spirit is great, depending on which team you belong to. In my team there is no one I would feel uncomfortable asking for help
Work-Life-Balance
Finally what counts is that you get your work done. No matter if that happens in 40, 50 or 60 hours / week. If you have too much on your plate (which is always the case) you'll have to do over hours (which are not compensated)
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Team lead(s) are really nice and fair. However, when it comes to important decisions (projects, salary discussions, development, etc.) the decision-making power lies with the heads that are distanced from the actual work, ongoing topics and performance.
Interessante Aufgaben
If you identify potential for optimization you can always suggest improvement ideas and execute. However there is no time made for side projects so it will be on top of all the things already on your plate
Gleichberechtigung
The management mainly consists of white, mid-aged, German men and is not diverse at all. However, within the company there are a lot of different nationalities. Men are preferably pushed into leader roles
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Everyone is treated respectfully, no matter the age. We don't have too many older colleauges
Arbeitsbedingungen
Nice office at Spree and Office Management team is great! They always make sure people feel comfortable and the workplace is pleasant
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Starting to get involved into this a bit more
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Salary (progression) is really bad. You always have to fight for every cent of increase even you were stated a very good performance. There is always another excuse why salary can't or won't be increased, none of them are constructive / objective (such as "no budget" even company is doing great or "others in the company earn much less" or "no one in the team will get an increase". It feels like the company forgets that people speak to each other and early enough find out about the lies.
Over hours are neither paid nor can they be worked off. Only 28 vacation days, no covid extras like in many other (Berlin) companies.

One of the most successful FinTechs in Europe so good image
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Yearly training budget of 1700€ is great. However, you are responsible for your development and success. A lot of team leads with no people management and development experience at all. But you can always reach out to HR in their consultation hour and discuss training options.
