Unfair treatment of people from abroad and women

Pros

Free breakfasts, snacks and drinks each day. Nice office, friendly environment, cool team events and parties. Regular trips to Dresden.

Cons

They used to hire lots people from abroad and offering them a minimum wage for high skilled profession (related to Berlin office only). That resulted in lots of people realising they were treated unfair and leaving the company after 6-12 months. Especially the situation was difficult for women: extreme even for Berlin salary difference between men and women , no chance of promotion , no chance of salary raise, women from abroad were paid much less for the same position as women from Germany. (As far as I'm aware the person who was responsible for hiring in Berlin - he was down graded in his position twice ever since as he had his first 360 review where employees had a chance to raise the voice). Then that big story with a police raid happened and co founders were arrested in summer 2016. It turned out that the company had a fraud issue with fake accounts in their app. I don't know how the company still claims to be one of the best employer with winning awards - it all looks like another fake with positive reviews written by HR managers themselves. To sum it up - that company is a massive roller coaster which I wouldn't recommend to experience to anyone.

Dear team member, Thank you for your feedback. As you probably know from experience, new team members are not only selected for their skills and knowledge, they also have to fit to LOVOO as a company. Qualifications and company fit are criteria for selection, sex and nationality are irrelevant. For us as a company it is important to give everyone the same opportunities regardless of gender, age, religion etc. We actively encourage equality of opportunity. This is also reflected in our company values: We treat each other respectfully, fair and are open and honest with each other. This is why we put so much value on transparency and clarity. Internally, there is the possibility to send feedback anonymously in team surveys. In addition, Glassdoor and Kununu offer the opportunity to send feedback anonymously. All reviews are checked by the platforms themselves on authenticity and duplication before they are published. Personal feedback may be given in our regular feedback rounds, that also offer the possibility to address grievances. All colleagues may also at any time speak to the management, their heads or the HR team. We encourage open communication and the opinion of each team member is extremely important to us. We very much regret that you feel treated unfairly and would have liked, if you had spoken directly to us earlier about issues that bothered you. Issues such as the professional and personal development of every team member, attractive working conditions and a fair and due pay for the whole team is also in our interest. It is possible to talk about these issues and find individual solutions for everything. Kind regards, Your HR team

Pros

The contact between superior and employees is professional, fair and respectful. Moreover, I really like that there is always the opportunity to talk or to discuss about ideas, questions and problems. There is an honestly, friendly and open minded atmosphere in the team. Having lunch or breaks together contribute a great team spirit! The tasks are variety and challenging. Furthermore, you can decide on your own how to prioritize your tasks. The atmosphere at LOVOO is amazing! Especially the little highlights of a day create a comfortable place to work. For example, the free daily breakfast, free lunch on every Wednesday and the modern furnished Office rooms and Kitchens. All information are communicated transparently and regularly. The communication in the company is in English and in German, because of the increased internationality at LOVOO. Additionally, there are regularly TechTalks for all interested people to give new information about the product. The technical equipment is on a high standard. New working equipment’s are available or can be ordered. Rooms with big windows and ergonomic chairs create a comfortable place to work. The working hours are very flexible. After an agreement you can take vacation anytime.

Cons

I`m so happy in this enterprise that I can't find any negative aspects to tell.
