Decent potential squandered by awful management - Editor Fonpit AG Employee Review

Good pay for Berlin The office was nice and in a cool area

Horrible management will work you to the bone No flexibility / telecommuting, and if you ever get sick, you'll never hear the end of it. Overall atmosphere of suspicion and derision

For the first time im my whole career, both in Berlin and abroad, I have found a place where I gladly arrive in the morning, as if I would be meeting friends for a coffee. 1. I never feel obligated (forced or pushed) to do anything, and this is for me the biggest motivation to work hard and stay inspired. I mean, I feel way more efficient when being able to set priorities together with my colleagues in a friendly atmosphere and not simply "do what the boss told". 2. I also have a chance to combine multiple responsibilities and learn new technologies, which is for me a reason to come to the office in the morning. 3. Here each one is his/her own boss. So for someone in a junior position, maybe it's not the best place to learn from someone. But for people with high level of self-motivation and a vision for goals, it's simply perfect. Here you have to rely on yourself. 4. The company is very family-friendly and offers a flexible schedule. 5. Benefits like fruits, nuts etc. I hope there's no need to tell much . Just normal startup-setup here. 6. I will not say about other departments (maybe it's different from how it looks), but in mine people are insanely positive.

Well, for me personally the "contras" is something I find beneficial: no clear goals and finely-planned strategy from management lets us all be self-managed and do more than indicated by the job description. What could be improved: 1. Hardware could be better. 2. Out-of-the-office professional activities, such as conferences, are not much supported. It's even hard to get a day-off, not to mention the company will not pay them.
