Pros

- Good work life balance - A lot hired in the last few years who dont allign with the company culture - The CEO makes a team call with new hires and seems to be a characmatic person.

Cons

- When I joined Jimdo it had a rating of 4+ now its down to 3.1 and that says it all. I was interviewed by a very friendly hiring manager who inspired me to join the company. But then restructing happened and I was made to work for a toxic manager. This restructuring happened within 2 months of me joining so it was pre-planned but was not disclosed to me during the interview. I realised within 6 months that I wont be able to get on well with the new person so was forced to resign. - A exit interview was scheduled with HR on the last working day where I thought of giving this as a feedback for improvement, but the call was cancelled at the last moment as HR probably expected negative feedback. Thats why I had to turn to public media to highlight my bitter experience.

Dear Former Jimdoer, Thank you for sharing your review with us. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed a good work-life balance during your time at Jimdo and appreciate your kind words about our CEO and co-founder, Matthias Henze. We noticed that you parted ways with Jimdo over a year ago and are only now writing your review. Over the past 12-24 months, Jimdo has undergone significant professionalization and growth, and some of your feedback, where relevant, may no longer be applicable. We understand that change can be challenging, especially when your hiring manager changes shortly after you onboard. Due to the dynamic nature of our business and the markets we serve, we must continuously adapt our organizational structure and business strategies to best support our customers. Success at Jimdo requires embracing a fast-paced environment and being comfortable with a degree of uncertainty. We're sorry that the exit interview did not go ahead as planned. Currently, we do an exit interview with every Jimdoer before they leave because we value their feedback and contribution to Jimdo—whether short or long in tenure. We apologize that you did not have this opportunity, so if you have any further comments you’d like to share, please feel free to email employee-experience@jimdo.com. Thank you again for taking the time to provide your feedback about your experience at Jimdo, even after several months have passed since you left. We appreciate your input.

Pros

Jimdo is a place filled with talented, dedicated people who are myopically focused on achieving their mission of helping their customers be successful. If you're a person looking to learn new skills, take on additional responsibility, be challenged by complex projects and develop your career, this is THE place for you to be. Additionally, Jimdo is incredibly flexible and treats their employees like humans, values diversity, asks for employee's opinions, is super transparent and invests in their employee's development.

Cons

Jimdo is in a period of transition and change (almost all for the better). However, you have to know that, and want that. As examples, policies evolve, new people are hired, new products are always launched, tests occur constantly, etc. If you are looking for a place that will allow you to skate by without hard work, this is NOT the place for you.
