Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your time at Hive didn’t reflect the environment we work hard to build. At Hive, we aim to create a culture based on respect, transparency, and ownership. If that didn’t come through during your experience, that’s something we take seriously and want to learn from. You mentioned the intensity of Black Week and the warehouse shift expectations. We completely understand how demanding that period can be. And while it’s challenging, it’s also something we speak about openly during the interview process to manage expectations. Fulfillment is at the heart of our business—stepping into a warehouse shift during peak times is about staying close to our core service, and supporting each other as one team when it matters most. We also hear your frustration about team communication and feedback culture. Everyone should feel safe and respected when raising concerns. We appreciate the feedback, it’s also a helpful reminder of where we still have work to do. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter. Kind regards, Hive People Team

Pros

The office is well-located in the city center of Berlin. The job itself is fascinating and you learn a lot.

Cons

Hybrid is available in the company, but it feels like managers want to monitor you all the time. Everyone is silent, working as if they could not move from their seats. The fact is that you need to work hard and fast, or you will stay over time. They expect you to work more than 8 hours a day every day with no compensation. They also expect you to do warehouse tasks. This often happens, with no compensation, sometimes working 15 hours continuous including night-shifts.

Hi there, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for highlighting both the positives and areas for improvement. We want every team member to feel valued and supported, and we’re continually striving to create a balanced, productive, and enjoyable work environment. Since then, we’ve worked on creating a healthier work-life balance, especially during peak seasons, and ensuring that expectations around overtime are clear and fair. We’ve also made strides to improve work-life balance, especially during peak seasons, by reassessing workloads, planned hiring schemes, and centralized onboarding. If you’d like to share more about your experience, please feel free to reach out to us. Best regards, Hive People Team
