Hidden gem with many facets
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Great team, great services, great environment to work in, great opportunities to grow and develop.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Casual Berlin-style without drifting into the Hipster / Too-Cool / Trying-too-hard crowd that may affect other companies in this area.
Kommunikation
Overall communication on all levels and directions is open and honest. Sure, sometimes there are misunderstandings or the occasional communication sink... but there are no hidden secrets or cabals.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Always supportive, no politics - sometimes feedback is too friendly and could be more direct. But plenty of opportunities to meet & talk outside your project group.
Work-Life-Balance
Generally good; of course, there is the occasional project peak where crunch is needed. Most often, good planning is able to take the edge off that is the majority of projects.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Open, honest, friendly while still trying to demand/challenge enough to make someone feel they contributed and need to evolve constantly.
Interessante Aufgaben
Balance of finding new ways to deliver projects, then trying to standardise and evolve approaches. Means you can give your brain a bit of rest now and then, and afterwards work on inventing the next big thing.
Gleichberechtigung
No preferential treatment for any gender - and if there are perceived pay gaps, those are immediately investigated and remedied as needed.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Generally a younger company; few "older" colleagues (40+) and they are fully integrated, of course.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Excellent office space, hardware equipment, anything needed for work. If anything is missing, you can ask and it will be considered (and, usually, acquired).
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Full marks on social responsibility and environment friendliness, as far as it goes. Dedicated events for LGBTQIA+, there is a small garden on the rooftop, energy saving measures are taken wherever possible.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Good payment; not over the moon as other companies in this area might offer, but very good overall package that is competitive.
Image
Employees like the company, and talk well about it. Clients like the company, and word of mouth is resulting in new projects. Press releases over the last years put the name out more and more. However, while the work is on-par and beyond what the competition can deliver, it is not nearly as publicly known as, e.g., Accenture.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There are opportunities - trainings within the company, and through external programs. The budget is not endless, and not everyone can go on multiple expensive trainings every year; but then, even larger corporations cannot give you that. In general: if there is an interesting opportunity for an external training course, and it aligns with your role and career goals, there is always a way you can take that course.
