Pros

The company hired interesting people from various cultures. Great office location.

Cons

More than 30 people left the company since the beginning of the year for a reason. Unfortunately, there is no clear strategy for the future. Stiff working hours. Everything is deteriorating and clients can see that. No team spirit and very little motivation coming from the management. Employees are looking for a way out.

Great company to work for

Pros

Glispa values transparency very highly, meaning that we all know what's going on at all times. Since the company had been self-financing since the beginning, it is on a stable growth path while still offering a lot of perks and benefits. You get a large range of different responsibilities and are involved from the beginning in small teams which can make decisions very quickly. The atmosphere is great, very international and everyone is very friendly! Really happy so far!

Cons

Salaries are not quite as high as some other startups in Berlin and we just have the standard number of days off.

Pros

+Solid business model and revenue streams +Fair salary for living in Berlin +Incredibly internationally diverse team (~120 people from 35+ nations) +Legendary company-wide events and quarterly team events

Cons

+Very little flexibility in regards to working hours (leaving before 18:30 is discouraged) +No flexibility in regards to working location (remote work only possible when sick) +New office near Gesundbrunnen isn't close to the Berlin action +Windows only, no Macs +Titles only loosely connected to actual function (z.B. "Senior Global Director of...", "Head of...", "Senior this", "Associate Director of that") +Very cutthroat culture for trainees/interns with LOTS of turnover outside of the highest levels of management
