Great company - Account Manager bei Smartzer: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Reasonably interesting autonomous work with modern tech stack.

Bullying and finger pointing culture from the management. I was the 3rd employee (that I know of) to leave Smartzer because of the treatment given out by Jonny (CTO) and Karoline (CEO). Belittling individual employees on team calls was a daily occurrence. The management only care about getting their software to a stage where they can sell it. Their strategy towards employees seems to be to give them a hard time, in the hopes that they go above and beyond what is possible. I would not recommend working there for any remuneration. And when I worked there, the remuneration was not good. The only way to get a raise was to receive a job offer from another company. Honestly, my advice is to look elsewhere for a position; it's just not worth it.

Working in a tech start up can always be challenging. At Smartzer however I always felt like everyone was there to help me through each challenge I faced however. The team is very tight knit and supportive, which in turn makes the work a lot more rewarding and fun. The company also was a great place to grow as not only did everyone each have a good level of responsibility but also there was a real openness to new ideas / processes. This meant that big wins could be earnt and rewarded easily. Despite COVID-19 there's also a good social side to the business with activities happening where possible. There's also a Share Option scheme which is also great to be a part of.

Like any job there are highs and lows, working at a start up sometimes these can be felt more dramatically. However due to the bonds within the team we were always able to overcome any tough times together.
