Hi and thank you for your feedback and the time you took to give your review! We are happy that you rate aspects such as colleague cohesion, our welcome package and the possibility of working remotely positively. At the same time, you mentioned the office policy as a contra point. Working 100% remotely at our company as a Senior Software Engineer is possible. Therefore, this point needs to be explained for us. You are welcome to give us more insights on this. Our OKRs help us to pursue our corporate goals to which every team contributes. We focus on a high level of personal responsibility and hand over the "path to the goal" to our employees. There are guidelines for orientation but we are not a friend of micro-managing. We are sorry that in your case you did not have a positive experience with it. We use an automated 360 degree feedback 1-2 times a year and conduct feedback trainings. However, it is also possible to initiate feedback yourself. We would have been pleased if you had contacted HR early on so that we could support you in this situation. We wish you all the best! HR Team
