Fonpit AG Reviews

The lowest wages a startup can possibly offer, unless you're German, then you have the privilege of higher pay. There is also literally no plan for career paths. Your starting position will most likely be your only position (unless they radically restructure the office without warning and let you invent your own title). The management is appalling. They are neither interested, nor in any way invested, in their staff. They will sooner see you walk out the door than actually implement a change you suggest. Zero respect for pretty much any lower-level employee as far as I could tell, with most of them considered merely to be "filling chairs". There is a complete lack of vision, leading to a change in tact one month, with little followup, and another change of direction a month or two later. The atmosphere is toxic, rampant with cronyism, closed-door discussions and suspicion. Psychological bullying It's a very unpleasant environment to spend every weekday of your life. You will have to fight like a dog for months to get a pay rise, and, even if you do fight, you might instead be offered an extra day or two of holiday each year. As another reviewer mentioned, the almost comically unattainable bonuses were abolished without warning and with no replacement. You will not feel in any way rewarded by the company for any work you do.

- The clear communication is definitely there, however informations are highly filtered so that employees do have the feeling of partecipating to the whole process, but many infos are unfortunately kept to the higher management. - Performances are judged mainly based on personal simpathy, of course according to departments as I do not know how it looks like in others. People can be fired as soon as they do something wrong, which instead ins oem cases can be easily discussed and solved - Management is not very open to critics and has the tendence to apply an I-know-it-all approach, also when proved to be wrong. Just to have an examples of it, I did witness few times a colleague of mine correcting my boss and the boss eventually telling the team "he" found out that a specific thing he stated was actually wrong and we had to do changes thanks to his findings. My colleague has never been thanked for that. - Gossip, mainly on Skype, and drinking in office since 3pm are apparently higher priorities than fair payments and getting a raise, even after having shown improvements and having reached set targets, is quite humilatying. In the best case scenarios one could eventually get a minimal raise on an already low salary. Important note: hope the HR does not bother to comment on this and is honest enough to admit what has been written in previous reviews. I have been professionally active in the Berlin market for years and I do know 100% what is the average salary in the different industries according to different seniority and experience and regarding one particular department Fonpit lacks of fairness big time. Glassdoor, Kununu and other job interviews in the past proved me I am absolutely right. But I am surethis will not prevent from finding a way to defend once again the company on a this evident fact. Sad, because a well paid employee is proven to be more efficient than an under-paid one.
