Interesting work and nice people
|
|
The opportunity to good work is really nice and the teams are friendly. Teams are working closer together and this works well.
Information shared to give understanding and questions answered when asked if the information isnt enough
Usually summer parties, Drinks and socialising and nice office
|
Things you would expect from a fast moving company. Never enough space and things can get hectic. But better than boring slow moving company

Solving a hard user problem
|
|
Fantastic vision and long term plan
Constant excitement about growth and change
Very very diverse- so many ideas
Big ambitions and some new mgmt members who have the ability to deliver
|
Growing so fast that some depts and teams are changing often or catching up
Legacy staff that couldn’t perform and complained when asked to perform
Hiring needs always a catch up for the ambitions so needs rolling up your sleeves and if you are not that kind, go join a Big corporate

Opportunities to learn and contribute, some growing pains
|
|
The team is incredibly friendly and culturally diverse, and the talent is strong and improving every year. The high pace of growth has given me opportunities to learn by taking on new projects and roles, and I appreciate having enough freedom and responsibility to be able to see the impact of my daily work on the success of the company.
|
High-growth also means un-filled roles, stretched responsibilities, and a constant need for new skillsets. Motivation and culture can vary between teams.

Oh My, Oh! Omio! Go but not Euro, Go somewhere else...
|
|
They manage to hire rockstar principals devs and some guys on the ops team are super awesome, most of the common engineers are also very nice. The positives end right here.
|
- The disengagement through the company is incredible, morale hit the rock bottom and it is maybe even bellow that
- The engineers on all levels try to cope with the incompetency of management.
- You cannot really work with the good ones, the made one of the best devs (principals) fight stupid political battles because couple of particular EM have big ego
- Project management is a joke, to explain better.
- The turnover rate is so ridiculously high, that there is no continuity of thoughts architecture or anything and no three principal devs cannot fix ~600 repos anytime soon
- Super abusive tricks from HR department, which leads to absolute no job safety, whole teams being fired after the other half of teams leaves because they identified the shady higher management
- Friendship is not welcomed by the management
- The frontend applications is one of the biggest cluster ****CENSORED**** I have encountered through my carrier, and for the backend I am short on the words...
To make a DB change you are adding random enums to 20 repos and on the sequence of their merge you might or might not succeed.
- PR approval rate is counted in weeks...
- The CEO is the master if propaganda unfortunately that cannot replace culture

Dear oh dear oh dear
|
|
There are some good points to this company. The offices of GoEuro (now known as Omio) are located in a nice part of Berlin, with easy access to public transport and places you can eat out during a lunch break or after work. It boasts some of the nicest people in tech, and the phenomenally high turnover of staff makes it great for networking. The offices smell fine. Carpets vaccumed regularly and cleaners do an excellent job of keeping the place sanitised. Toilet paper doesn't run out, the temperature of one of the two buildings is usually adequate, and there is a lovely dog in the office from time to time.
|
Now onto the bad, which is difficult because I don't even know where to start. A simple summary could be a hostile environment, obsessive and paranoid micro-management at senior level, a complete lack of honest communication from the company's directors (propaganda style pronouncements don't count), and a general atmosphere of utter doom that hangs over the place like a thunder cloud over a golf tournament.
The issues at GoEuro are many, but the root causes are easy to identify. There are obvious reasons why this company has the worst staff turnover, by far, of any company I have ever seen in my entire career. The turnover isn't confined to the lower eschelons of the company either, but runs right through the entire strata of the company like the words "Don't work here!" through a particularly grim stick of rock.
Wages and bonuses are below industry level standards which, when coupled with the CEO's numerous media appearences telling the world how much money he has, has quite a detrimental effect on staff morale. Add to this the fact that the company execs are very secretive about how the company is actually doing and most of the workforce already feel somewhat insecure and ready to jump ship should any other opportunites present themselves, or sometimes even if no opportunities present themselves except the deep blue sea and occasional passing shark.
In spite of the relatively poor levels of remuneration, workers at GoEuro are pushed to perform to beyond reasonable capacity, often resulting in people actually taking time off sick. But don't expect to find comfort in your malaise, they will pester you through phone/text message to get back to work, whether signed off by a qualified medical professional or not!
Another issue is that people are generally promoted or given better treatment by the company based upon how much they curry favour with the small cabal at the top, as opposed to those who are effective at their jobs or are honest. This has led to a situation where people are often afraid to deliver bad news or speak truth to power. The place has an atmosphere similar to that of a court of a volatile king that could come straight out of a Game of Thrones episode, albeit with less sex and violence but more spreadsheets and office furniture. Whenever a mistake is made or there is a mishap, people will look to find someone to blame rather than face the wrath of whomever sits on the Iron Throne, such is the culture of CEO's Landing. You shouldn't be doing this to the people who spend at least 40 hours of their week toiling away for you! This, in turn, is having a quite a serious impact on company performance generally, which again feeds into the general feelings of insecurity people have about their jobs.
The leadership team, or at least those close to CEO, are obsessively secretive, paranoid, and have a habit of trying to micromanage everything. They don't trust the industry experts that they themselves have hired, and instead make decisions themselves, without consulting the people who will have to implement those decisions, by simply forcing compliance from their staff. I'm not talking about junior staff here either, I'm talking about internationally experienced and respected professionals with a decade or more of success behind them, having their work or opinions simply ignored and/or discarded without reason or explanation. It is understandable that a company's leader has a destination in mind for his company and will do what he can to take it there. It is not understandable, in this day and age, for a company leader to not trust his crew, or refuse to listen to their advice on how to get to his desired destination when he is so clearly out of his element on some of the more complex requirements for the journey ahead. This style of leadership is intolerable to people who've fostered a career and reputation they treasure with pride, and was cited most frequently as the reason for senior people leaving during my time with the company.
The appalling treatment of the workforce doesn't stop at second-guessing and micromanaging their every move. There is virtually no work flexibility. You're expected to be in the office, at your desk, regardless of whether or not you could be being more productive elsewhere. This possibly stems from a lack of trust in the workforce to actually work if they're not properly supervised, a lack of trust which further damages an already dangerously fragile level of employee loyalty to the company. Career and professional development are none-existant. One of the supposedly big perks offered to prospective employees is an education budget. This amounts to 200 euros per year, which might get you a few books. Speaking of which, the other benefits listed for staff (travel allowance, free lunches etc) are considerably short of the industry standard. The free lunch is once a week for example. Every two weeks or so there would be complimentary drinks at a bar that someone at the company had picked. Though given staff morale it is not especially surprising that they choose to spend so much of the staff benefit budget on plying the workforce with alcohol, but this isn't for everyone.
Overall, this all results in a place which feels like the prison of Azkaban from the Harry Potter series, with the senior leadership team acting as the Dementors to suck all life and soul out of those doomed to be inmates within. It is a joyless and at times even depressing place, with any good relationships or comraderie among the staff being the result of blossoming friendships rather than a feeling of teamwork or belief in what they're doing. Friendships which, when they are noticed by some in the senior management team, are frowned upon - the result of an "us and them" outlook towards their own workforce.

To those at the top in GoEuro - you know you have a serious problem, you know the company culture is in serious crisis, and you're desperate to do something about it. That much everyone knows. Unfortunately, whilst you relish the opportunity to hold your staff responsible for anything you can possibly pin on them, you are seemingly incapable of taking responsibility for your own actions. The state of the situation at the company is your doing. The unfriendliness, the stress, the misery, the anxieties, the outright panic at times, and the disloyalty that you find "disappointing", are a direct result of how the company is managed and the lack of trust you have in your staff to do their jobs and work for you.
Your company has no real IP. It has no proprietary goods and no service that can not, at some point, be emulated by another. Ergo you're relying heavily on the people who work for you if you want to have a hope of making a success out of this venture - start treating your own people with the respect and professionalism they deserve, for your own sakes.
