Not great - Graphic Designer bei GovData: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Initial support, and team members were a highlight

Top down coercive management style

There are not many pros in my experience.

I was working as a Data Systems Engineer. The job started on a Monday and had two days of induction. On Wednesday, the actual work started, which was a nightmare. The CTO sits beside you, always breathing down your neck. He occasionally comes to check on the progress and reads your emails without permission. There are no proper project tracking tools like JIRA, Trello, or any git repositories to work on. Worked for four days with Pandas and Excel sheets and unfortunately got an eye infection after working hours. I communicated this clearly and my absence request to management. Got back to work after three days of treatment and recovery and received my termination letter saying I violated the probationary period due to the number of sick days(3). I am glad in one way to leave this place; however, I had already made a lot of personal investments and commitments, and this was unexpected. They don't value employees. Not even a proper memo or formal warning was given. Heard similar stories from this employer before joining but never trusted that. Please don't commit to this company, my fellow techies. There are better employers out there who are worth working for. The contract is not shared with you in your personal email, and they pressure you to sign it to continue with the induction. If you join, which I recommend not to, please get the contract by email, read it, and then proceed. A lot of unnecessary abstraction makes the lives of employees terrible.
