Pros

-People are kind and welcoming -Buddy onboarding was cool -After-work activities with peers -Performance review/360 review with Leapsome -Company investigates career paths for specialists (aka people who want to rise without leading people)

Cons

-In the end, DKB is the puppet master and if someone from DKB wants you out, they will find a way to do so. CoFa can't protect their people (I don't feel safe anymore and will leave soon) -Key people drive the projects and I made the experience that peers are underperforming and my people manager seems to be ok with that -CoFa talks about being family which creates pressure, people burnout -Weak communication between mother and CoFa -VPN/cloud security is very painful

As an international and evolving organization, we know how important inclusive communication is in everyday collaboration. We’re aware that balancing German and English communication is an ongoing journey and feedback like yours helps us reflect and improve further.

Vielen Dank für dein tolles Feedback! Es freut uns sehr, dass du insbesondere die Work-Life-Balance, das Arbeitsumfeld und die Möglichkeit schätzt, an Produkten mit echtem Impact zu arbeiten. Auch deinen Hinweis zu Entscheidungs- oder Umsetzungsgeschwindigkeiten nehmen wir mit. Gerade in einem regulierten und komplexen Umfeld ist die richtige Balance zwischen Stabilität, Qualität und Geschwindigkeit nicht immer einfach; gleichzeitig arbeiten wir kontinuierlich daran, Prozesse pragmatischer und effizienter zu gestalten. Danke, dass du Teil der DKB Code Factory bist!
