Probably the worst place to work in Berlin. Toxic, small-minded, badly managed, severely underpaid, old tech.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Initial idea.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Everything.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Be like Sci-Hub and drop the ads.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Some colleagues are actually nice to work with. But they're mainly in the lower staff.
Kommunikation
There isn't any. If you come from another - established - company you will really struggle with the pre-historical meetings and lack of communication processes. People are very unexperienced, especially managers.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Some are still friends, but those are mainly in the lower staff tier. Upper management and team leads will try to destroy your career, if they need to, for their own, personal advantage. This is mainly because they were never meant to be managers, they don't know how to be managers, and now they're clinging with nails and teeth to that small time, fake power, position. Beware.
Work-Life-Balance
Not that bad, as long as you commit yourself to a really underpaid job with no career progress. Take it only if you're really desperate.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
This could be never ending but to name a few: managers work on a hire-fire basis because of their inexperience and huge egos; some old employees opened several cases in court against some people in the company because of extremely unacceptable behavior (in all tiers); totally unexperienced; their behavior is so toxic towards whoever is not in their "friend group" that it almost makes you sad to see how small minded and pety some of those people are. They live within a fake bubble of status and ego while they, themselves, are extremely underpaid and are working towards disgrace.
Interessante Aufgaben
Really pre-historical technology. In AdTech ResearchGate is the laughing toy of the big boys. Step aside and let the others do their job.
Gleichberechtigung
Foreigners are known to receive different treatment in the company. For no reason, if you're disliked by someone, they will find a way to fire you, or make you quit - either by bullying or by installing fake PDP reviews.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Kings of the world, right? That's why they can never leave ResearchGate. Real life will slap them in the face and won't feed their egos.
Arbeitsbedingungen
No A/C in summer. The offices look cool on the outside but then again, the sign is directly proportional to the C-level ego. Just a fake cover.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Absolutely none.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Free lunch (which they make you pay for at the end of the month).
Image
At the beginning it was a nice idea but after working there for 3 years you realize that nothing good will come out of a company that totally mistreats its workers.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
No description needed. There isn't. Actually, you will feel dumber after you join the company.
