amazing potential but could be so much better

Pros

1. Work with inspiring colleagues who have many passions outside work 2. Gatherings are great for re-energising and held in amazing locaitons 3. The business is on to a good thing with the app and increasing popularity of outdoor leisure, it will be very difficult for komoot to fail

Cons

1. leadership lacking diversity and the company does not see diversity as a strategic priority 2. company not great at supporting individual mental health or work-life boundaries. You are expected to have slack notifications on your phone and respond to messages within a set time period. You are also expected to use your personal sim card and social media accounts for work. Colleagues routinely work when sick and when on holiday. 3. managers not empowered and squads and hierarchies limit the flow of ideas, feedback and communication 4. salary is low and there is little space for progression. There is no transparency when it comes to salary and a lot of secrecy over who is paid what. There is no data recording or reporting on the gender pay gap. 5. product and company direction is unclear, it isn't a customer-focused culture and founders are not transparent about decisions or strategy 6. little empathy for employees in different situations during the Covid19 pandemic and lockdowns 7. development of new features is slow so improving the app is a slow process and customer trust is lost in the meantime

Customer-centric and challenging

Pros

Work mostly on features that get used by thousands of people instead of back-office stuff. Interesting technical challenges. Openness to new technical approaches, focus on monitoring and metrics. Insight into company-wide, engaging KPIs is readily available.

Cons

Personal development is not a focus. The founders keep a tight grip on the direction of the company, sometimes rather intransparently. Failure is not always seen as an opportunity to learn, but as an excuse for micro-management.

big ask for no interview

Pros

Communication was great throughout, the challenge they assigned was very relevant

Cons

I am so disappointed by this - it's the exact thing you hear of good recruiters saying is a red flag. They make you do a SIX month detailed plan for how you would solve a challenge, it is completely unpaid, takes days, to not let you through to the interview stage or even meet anyone at the company whatsoever -- not even the talent team who I assume is grading these. The feedback I received was petty and showed they didn't read everything fully as what they said was missing was in fact flagged and included in my response.
