If you have other options, I wouldn't recommend.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
I really enjoyed the people I've worked with and have met some of my best friends there. It's an ok place to land if your new here, other than that they don't offer much.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
They can't last a year without firing people for "budget" reasons.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Treat your employees with respect and transperancy.
Consider getting rid of the whole office so you don't have to keep firing people.
Agree and communicate an actual vision for the company. "Reaching profitablity" isn't a goal. It's actually obvious unless you're a non-profit.
Kommunikation
One minute the company says it's doing well financialy, the next they're firing 50+ people in one year for budget reasons. Lot's of all hands meetings but not really knowing anything new about the company.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
This is probably the best thing about the company in my view.
Work-Life-Balance
It started good with being flexible, then an office policy of 40% attendance was introduced with no real follow up which was good. Now, the 40% is mandatory with warnings and such. The company is obviously going down the wrong path.
That being said, the three stars are because my manager personally was understanding and supporting of our work-life balance.
Interessante Aufgaben
I was able to work on many intersting projects. However, I wasn't allowed to explore horizontally. And the biggest downfall was lack of consistancy. Mostly everything I'd worked on is now cancelled.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The office is nice looking and flashy but in reality it's not as good as it looks. Harsh lighting, no real fresh air, some rooms are extremely hot in summer; rooms not as soundproof as we were led to believe, etc.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Technically; the building is supposed to be "green". But honestly what's green about a huge office with no solar panels, people who don't properly recycle, etc.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Low salaries and literally zero benefits. They introduced some benefits in May and cancelled them now in January. Leave policy can be better. Flexibility slowly being taken away. You will literally be getting only your salary and maybe some development money while being forced in the office 40% of the time. If you absolutely need the job; then ok but other than that; there are better options.

People speak well of each other. But being in touch with alumni; I've never heard someone say they regrert not working at Seven Senders anymore.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Only until recently was there talk of clear feedback processes. No clear criteria for promotions.
