Pros

- Good work-life balance and a chill environment - Relatively modern stack to work on and friendly environment - Opportunity to grow: Junior, Regular, Senior and then Engineering Manager or Lead

Cons

- Not exciting business and products - Not that many experienced engineers (usually scattered among teams) - Lacks transparency in the business, too many top-down decisions - Company culture is slowly falling apart since the beginning of the pandemic - German language is really present and strong in the company, it might not be a cons for everyone but it is really hard for foreigners to connect with the business and with colleagues

Dear Homie, thank you so much for taking the time to give us such detailed feedback. We are sorry to hear that there were some discrepancies. Your feedback will help us to create an even better working atmosphere for our employees. First of all, we are super happy to read that you are happy with the work-life balance. That is already a very important point. We actually try to do all communication in German and English, too bad to read that this doesn't go over so well with you. Perhaps you could explain to us again in more detail where the problem lies? The Corona Pandemic is unfortunately a difficult time for all of us and unfortunately brings some disadvantages. However, we are doing our best, within the framework of our OKRs, to work on our Company Culture. We have an all-hands meeting once a week in which the management passes on all important information to us homies. You are always welcome to write us if you want to add more points to your already so detailed feedback. We would also be happy to sit down together in the office and think about how we can make Homeday an even better place to work. Best wishes Jule Falk Homeday People & Culture Team jobs@homeday.de

Pros

Strong Team Dynamics: Working with skilled colleagues was a highlight. The team's camaraderie made the workplace enjoyable and stimulating. Flexibility: Homeday acknowledged work-life balance and offered flexible working arrangements, a valuable perk for maintaining personal and professional equilibrium.

Cons

Constant Change: Frequent organizational shifts and shifting priorities created a sense of instability, making it hard to plan long-term strategies or careers. Leadership Instability: Rapid changes in team leadership disrupted project continuity and morale, making it challenging to adapt to different management styles. Limited Support for Growth: While filled with talented individuals, Homeday lacked robust support for employee development, with few growth opportunities or mentorship programs, at least during my time there.
