Great product, mission & team
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
smart colleagues, great mid-level leads, great product/mission
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
top-down micromanagement from hell
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Empower and allow employees to contribute their expertise and be open for discussions and failure - only through diverse opinions and a strong network to rely on can true innovation emerge.
This will increase motivation, reduce attrition, improve employer branding and external branding, and improve the product.
TR technically has the potential to become a true love brand. This can only happen from the inside out though.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
ambitious, fun & supportive in the marketing department
Kommunikation
communication is good within and between departments; however, top-down micromanagement can often hinder good communication
Work-Life-Balance
wfh, remote work from abroad possible, flexible working hours (to some extent) possible if required
Vorgesetztenverhalten
almost exclusively great in the marketing department, very smart and empathetic leaders who want to give much freedom and yet share much knowledge; as far as I know, mostly good in the other departments, too. however: too much (sometimes chaotic and at times even impolite) top-level micromanagement undermines the above, often demotivating employees and even the managers to a large degree
Interessante Aufgaben
interesting projects & mission; working at TR could be even more interesting if there was more room for autonomy and actively shaping the particular parts of the projects for which employees possess expertise
Arbeitsbedingungen
fine & aesthetically pleasing, but rather basic/minimalistic. don't expect loveydoveystartup conditions.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
environmental awareness did not seem to be very important at all, e.g. no waste separation
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
salary ok, not too many benefits compared to other companies. mental health benefits were introduced, which is good; however, they seemed very technical and more for inspiration, so it seems that understanding of the tool, and resulting adoption was not very high.
Image
the image from the outside is fine, but due to the periods of high turnover and low autonomy for employees, the company's image has suffered from an employer branding perspective, and much more could be done from a brand image perspective as well.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
in general, there is a lot to learn as there are many smart, ambitious and knowledgeable people working at TR. however, due to micromanagement from the top, they usually can't fully apply their expertise and not take the ownership they would be able to, so a lot is lost at that level.
initially, there was a lot of knowledge sharing and workshop offerings within the company, but that seems to have changed since the 2022 layoffs. i'm not sure how/if external training is supported.
