Pros

Free lunches, amazing office and good equipment.

Cons

For the past 6 months a lot of changes have happened and a lot of talented colleagues have left the company. Full company restructuring was made without too clear strategy.

Dear idealo, thank you for your open feedback. With idealo, we have successfully built a European online platform for shopping decisions that combines a wide range of offers with price transparency and consumer protection. Since its foundation 25 years ago, idealo has strongly grown as an organization. In the process, structures and processes have been established that prevent us from participating in the dynamic market development in the long term. We are therefore taking countermeasures now to ensure that idealo remains a modern, technology-based and successful shopping platform with the best offers – and thus the first choice for consumers, our partners, and employees. To become more efficient and agile again, we are reorganizing the company. In addition, we will increasingly integrate new technologies such as AI to set standards in the e-commerce market. In order to better understand your specific feedback points, we would be very pleased if you could contact us via employerbranding@idealo.de. Alternatively, you are welcome to contact our works council or a trusted person if you would like your inquiry to be handled anonymously. Best regards, Your idealo People Team

Pros

It used to be a good company, maybe they still have some common sense that will awaken.

Cons

They let Axel Springer's claws inside the management, and they no longer cared about the employees. They sent a survey about coming back to the office, but it was obvious just a formality, because they disregarded its results. Works Council tried to negotiate the terms, the amount of days, work abroad, but the management eventually said "accept what we want or we'll make you come 5 days". Sounds pretty illegal and unethical to me. They reduced the work abroad from 180 days a year, to 20. They want us in the office and reduced work abroad for NO REASON. The company has great results the way it was, and this change will only bring negative impact. The office, although nice, is not a place where developers enjoy being and can focus. It literally went from a company I used to recommend to anyone, and reject job offers, to some sort of dictatorship. I would not recommend it to anyone anymore.
