Not recommendable

1,3
Nicht empfohlen
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr im Bereich IT gearbeitet.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Only one person in the whole company who can develop software by modern standards.
If you are a junior developer or tester then you will feel alone.

Kommunikation

Lots of talking but saying nothing.

Work-Life-Balance

The people are treated differently and not fairly.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

The higher up the superiors are, the more they behave strange.

Interessante Aufgaben

They have basically only three products. Neither the industry for which the products are developed for is interesting nor the way these products are developed and tested. Two of these products are over 10 years old and it shows.

Gleichberechtigung

Females are treated better than males. My personal experience was that for females every excuse was allowed to not keep the schedule, come late to work, or deliver terrible results.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Many things rather outdated. Software, hardware, everything.
A ping-pong table in a small room does not cut it.
Dirty floors and walls with stains everywhere.
Dogs in the rooms - not everyone likes them and it's not possible to complain about that because one of the dogs is owned by a superior.
People with allergies not saying a word because it's impossible to discuss this (or rather anything at all) with the related superiors.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

All PCs are always turned on. All printers are always turned on. Lots of printing to then just throw the paper away.
That's the business there.
Company tries to counter this by supporting the employees in buying bikes but no one really believes that this is for climate reasons as the persons having decided that drive really energy inefficient vehicles.

Gehalt/Sozialleistungen

You get only paid well, if you're a freelancer.
Alternatively, you write so terrible code that no one but you can maintain it and then you can basically request any salary you want.
Looking at what I had to work with, it's quite clear that the highest paid people did this over several years.

The best thing in this company is that they are supporting you in moving to Berlin and finding a flat. Use that, stay in the company for 6 months and then leave.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

You will not learn anything there except for what you need to look out for in your next job interview.

Arbeitgeber-Kommentar

Mona HansenCEO

I consider almost everyone in the SOFHA team as self-confident enough to address the above complaints directly with me, and actually I have heard some of the critics before from one person only. One member representing 2% of the team will not turn the corporate governance and policies upside down. This is called responsible leadership.
Every opinion and every idea matters, and those suggestions which made a lot of sense to management were picked up and initiated several changes since 2019. Management is open to constructive ideas for further improvements, but those suggestions need to prove that they are good for the whole team, and not only for one person's ego.

Modern code: We have been too successful in delivering products to the market to throw away the code completely with every second or third year starting from scratch. The decision on the risk to take is mostly done by several members in management, and the OEM customer, too, and knowledgeable software architects would know that there are limits if you need to consider providing maintenance services for several years after product shipment as well.

Dirty walls and stains? Mhm, okay, I have heard of more severe issues at work places but I admit that freshly renovated rooms are nice. The last big renovation took place in 2019 so next year we need to do it again.

PCs are always turned on? Admitted! Otherwise the team could not work remotely during the pandemic.

Throwing away paper? We are stakeholders in the digital printing industry, and lots of print jobs actually need to be printed during testing.

Giving advice how to abuse the company's relocation support!? No comment on that one.

We are hiring to back-up the team in dealing with the challenges to come, and the whole team will continue giving support of any kind to our newcomers, as we always did, because we know how important every single member is for the prosperous well being of all. So, be assured that you are very welcomed!

My impression is that someone strongly wants to hurt my feelings, which is a little unfair, but not telling the truth and aggressively harming the whole team is another story, and therefore needs to be addressed.

Good advice is very welcome, constructive criticism, too, but peeing on everyone's shoes when no one watches is not hero-like at all.

Thank you for reading, and I am wishing you all the best for your professional career! Take care!
