Vantaggi
- Lots of good teammates - Possibilities to work with different topics and have different responsibilities - Meetup organization - Food in the office - Office structure - Beautiful location - Self-management culture - Used to have a good HR team, but not sure about it now. They used to fight for the team's needs, currently, they seem to fight for saving a penny to the founders.
Svantaggi
Last year they added people to the Kurzarbeit program, but they clearly said that it was the last day of that group of people at the company. So they had no interest to bring them back after financial recovery, they just wanted to use the opportunity to get rid of people that used to work in the products that they didn't want to invest anymore and didn't want to pay the price for terminations or relocating people to other position, expecting these people would terminate the contract themselves. They took advantage of the situation and the government program. The employees were put in a group call and communicated with no privacy, and no option or clear clarification. It was the first week of lockdown and, meanwhile, they were firing almost everyone on probation, including people that had moved to Germany two months earlier. - CEO doesn't see the need to work in diversity in the leadership, including the absence of women presence in the Upper-level management. Even in small things like opposing to support a "Wunder Women" event, or allowing HR to have initiatives with the message that there was a gender imbalance in the company, with the excuse that we had so many foreign people, it was already diversity. - Directions of the product change really quick before we can stabilize initial ideas - Investment in new products with little or poor validation most of the time - Tons of code and development time throw away with a change in priorities - Lack of transparency of company's success, seems that they do some marketing to convince even the people inside that we are doing well, but besides the fleet project the clients were not relevant or stayed for little time using the products - Presents itself as a tech company but doesn't enforce innovation, or is a tech-driven environment. The focus is to be fast to deliver on a no-clear-how-was-decided due date. - Too much politics and rumors spread around.
