Pluspunten

You get to work with great people no question. Visa support. Challenging work.

Minpunten

The lowest salary I've gotten in Germany, after 8 months of working in Germany, salary went up 30% compared to Applike's. Cannot stress this enough, the worst management I've seen in my career, and I've worked for 7 companies. Micromanagement is off the charts, unlike anywhere I've seen. If they could, they would track your restroom time, I wish I was joking. Overtime work all the time. They let go of people without any notice, keep a lawyer handy. Extremely high stress from above, for long periods at a time.

Dear former colleague, Thank you for your feedback. We take our (weekly) internal employee feedback and reviews here on kununu very seriously and keep track of any remarks. We would like to take the opportunity to address a few of your points here: - You mentioned a dissatisfaction with your salary in our company. On quarterly basis, we analyze the benchmark in terms of salary of our industry and adapt salary ranges to make sure we have a fair and rather above market salary package. - At the same time we value direct and transparent feedback and communication to talk about the employee’s development. - We believe in a trust-based system with flexible working hours. Sometimes it can happen that projects are taking up more time than usual, usually because people themselves get excited about their work. We believe in a healthy work-life-balance, thats why we give compensation time in these cases. We would appreciate an open conversation to be able to see what was maybe not working out well in your case, so we can take it into account. Best regards, Jan-Philipp (TA-Team) & Jonas (Co-CEO)

Pluspunten

The work is fast moving, so there are new KPIs, new processes, new clients every six months. There is learning opportunities and cross department movement is possible as well. Support functions are good, people are friendly and upper management is approachable.

Minpunten

They fire people without cause. In my time there I saw Senior most to junior most people on the firing line. They would fire people every 2-4 weeks. It was a bloodbath. They are very particular about being able to attract good talent but also make it so toxic when in company wide stand up meetings, they disparage the people they just fired. They are open to all nationalities and people as long as you are good and its a typical start up fast paced environment but the internal politics would drive away any good candidate.

Pluspunten

Immigrants-friendly, relocation support, good office with small but fully-equiped gym, good people

Minpunten

Hiring fresh immigrants is their strategy to reduce costs, they underpay. No clear opportunities to grow.
