Fearless and curious truth-seekers. With brains and hearts...
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Transparency, the opportunity to apply your skills and passion
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Sometimes discussions do not lead to action as nobody feels really responsible (one of the weaknesses of Teal Management).
Too few employees for the things we could do - currently... But we are hiring.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Do more business outside of Lufthansa Group.
The existing extensive aviation domain know-how is cool to apply within the group. But Data Science in the first place can be applied anywhere and more diversity could help to balance the up's and down's of the economy a lot better
Be less agile every now and then...
When it comes to really important decisions an MVP is sometimes not enough. More time for thinking would be cool.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Smooth. Agile. Responsible...
Teal organization, based on individual contribution to the big picture.
No management layers, only experience levels.
We work in circles around qualifications, administrative topics, and projects. The circles are run by a Lead (which is NOT the manager but rather the care-taker). If we don't need the circle anymore (i.e. after project success): we simply shut it down.
If you do something cool: everybody will get to know about it. No exploitation of work for the benefit of others.
So, Teal works. Most of the time. A bit of "room for improvement" is always left but that's pretty normal in an agile environment.
Kommunikation
2020 has been a hard one for us... The established communications structure did not work properly during the crisis and the short-term work didn't make it easier to upgrade the processes. But: work in progress!
During the current situation regular video-calls kept the connection, the circles have their scheduled meetings, project teams define their own communication framework.
One important topic: if a meeting is 30 minutes, it IS 30 minutes. Or less.
You can rely on that. Kudos.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The majority of the people are proven friends to open and direct communications. Most of the time. Diverse cultural backgrounds and personalities require some empathy.
Never had lasting bad-vibrations though...
Work-Life-Balance
Lots of stuff to do. But maximum flexibility in how you organize yourself (within the boundaries of german labor law of course). Works for me.
Vacation always taken (not necessarily as planned, but that wasn't a forced decision)
Vorgesetztenverhalten
We have just one superior.
And he manages to spend time on each and everybody on a regular basis and to provide most of the answers and support needed.
Open communications about the current company status, developments
Interessante Aufgaben
Bääm! When you like to apply modern tech to old-school aviation: this is the place to be...
Gleichberechtigung
Ask our female colleagues (we have several of them, could be more as data science still seems to be a male business. Just apply!)...
Plus like 15 different nationalities.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
I AM one of the older guys...
The majority of people is around 30-35 with some additional youngsters and some keepers of the past. Which is the best combo you can have for great project output.
As said: it's basically about who and how you are, not attributes...
Arbeitsbedingungen
Modern and spacious offices, sufficient work equipment, high flexibility in terms of remote work
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
The topic is ON in the company.
As the Teal organization is based on employee-activity several
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Payment is discussed and reviewed on peer-level. You apply for a certain raise and name a colleague to promote you as your "raise-buddy". High transparency. Would rate the salaries "upper-midfield".
Karriere/Weiterbildung
If you aim for a management position, a dedicated parking spot, and a personal assistant: go somewhere else.
But we offer the coolest job titles if you need one.
Development happens more on the personal and professional level.
Taking over responsibility quickly. Learn from others. Extensively.
Regular training budgets per person and year. Choose what you feel helps you most to get things done. Benefit from training feedback given by your colleagues.
