      Pros

      salary is ok for berlin, people have some freedom to try new things , relaxed working hours and remote work allowed

      Cons

      you would think from the pros that it's a good place to work, but there are many problems and in the end it becomes quite stressful. in the last 8 months they made lots of job cuts, and that is after they said that they want to eliminate the 'bottom 10 percent of performers' . i think they are influenced quite easily by these big ideas they read, but it is not nice to make people feel like theyy are underperforming - when actually such environment does not work for everyone - in fact some people respond better to nice incentives rather than threats. there were good people who didn't get recognition for working hard - because of the flat structure the people who shouted the loudest got noticed - it's a shame when talent leaves the company due to a lack of recognition or not getting shown any appreciation and general problems in management

      Thanks for your open feedback on the company culture. Many Startups in their early years experiment a lot with work culture and ways to communicate with their employees. Sometimes it works out in the first try, but sometimes it is necessary to fail a couple of times to achieve something great. CareerFoundry has been committed to building an outstanding culture, and in doing so have invested more resources than most other companies at equivalent stages. As a result of the experiences of the last year, we moved to a more consistent company structure. This includes dedicated Team Lead positions that work towards an open communication, clearly structured processes and reliable goal setting. We recognized the need for a dedicated HR position and created one in the process. Today we ensure listening to our colleagues through regular surveys, create personal development plans for each employee and implement a new salary structure as well. Our latest survey already shows a higher employee engagement as a result of this. CareerFoundry is all about learning and constant improvement - for our students, as well for ourselves.

      Pros

      Careerfoundry is one the startups in Berlin I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a space where they can work on a product that has the impact to change people's live. The company values are Joy , Impact and Experimental mindset. 1. Joy : The people who work at CF are a true reflection of joy. They literally live it. Even in the most demanding times to release products, there is still an atmosphere that what we are all doing is worth it. 2. Impact - The work of CF literally changes a lot of people's lives. Users and students come from all corners of the world and seeing them achieve their goals is life transforming. Good work takes time but once done the impact is beyond materialisation. 3. Experimental mindset : Work is done in project cycles and employees are encouraged to come up with projects that they would like to work on for a period of six week and choose a team for the project. I find this experiment very innovative because it gives employees constantly think about how to improve their work and gives them a chance to get to know each other as colleagues and most importantly see their ideas come to life. Last one - The structure is flat. No managers nor middle managers. Employees and teams manage their time and work. Remote work and work from homes allowed. Total bliss -

      Cons

      CareerFoundry is three years old and is pushing to disrupt the education industry and with that comes the responsibility to work hard and push for bold ideas when required. If you are not a fan of change this might be hard for you, but how great is it to say to your next employer the number of iteration your previous employer undertook and what your contribution in that was? I think it's all about perspective.
