I worked at Raisin full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
- Wealthy Investors
- Food and Drinks
- Team events
Cons
- No company culture
- Cheap politics by So called chapter leads and Product owners
- Scrum master without experience
- A big group in a small start up, that group is virtually running technical implementation. Favoritism to keep their friends in the company
- Always say YES to your PO, who has less knowledge on Scrum and Agile
- Never say NO to your supervisor/chapter lead
- Always ready to give feedback but do not care about receiving feedback
- On the tip to firing people during Probation and after probation. Be ready if you are the next in queue.
- No retention policy
- People are like Machine, do not talk to each other
- Forceful signature to provide Production support even by QA, if you say NO to sign you supervisor says company might not listen to you. Management should do the product support first and then ask their employee to do it.
Advice to Management
- Stop hiring people from abroad. Inspect your own mistakes of appointing Chapter Leads and PO without having knowledge on Agile and Scrum.
You can build a Product with two strong developer, but you can run a company without having good mindset.
- Nominate yourself to be part of Production support
Application
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Raisin in August 2018.
Interview
The process lasted about a month and, because I was not in Berlin, most of it took place on Skype. I had 2 interviews with HR, one of which was a case study. 1 interview with the hiring manger and finally 1 interview with CEO onsite, in order to get to know the team in person too.
I cannot say that the process was easy, but the Recruiting team did a great job and made it smooth and straightforward with their prompt feedbacks and instructions. The onsite meetings were also a good opportunity to evaluate if my personality would match the working environment. It was overall a positive experience and the team was very nice, however I couldn't accept the offer because I wasn't able to relocate.
