ABOUT YOU Response

Dear colleague, thanks for your honest feedback! We're happy that you're feeling challenged at ABOUT YOU and that your AY colleagues and the company parties are a big plus on your pro list. Regarding your cons, it would be great if you could give us more information about the unit you're working in so we can draw implications and improvements for the specific team. In general, our claim is to provide good and stable software as well as testing our code before deployment. Our units are subdivided into smaller circles - every circle is balanced with junior and senior developers as well as a lead developer to ensure the code quality and also the guidance of junior developers. Regarding salaries: We already faced this topic and did a cross-sectoral comparison. Results showed that our salary ranges match the market average. Additionally, we offer plenty of development opportunities like tech talks, meet-ups, our code talks conference and a steep tech career for employees who are willing to go the extra mile. We believe that this is something you can not express in numbers :) In case you do not feel happy in your current team, feel free to approach HR or LPD so that we can work out a development plan tailored to your needs. Our MOVE structure offers new challenges in other teams as well :) We hope to keep you on board and find new challenges for you! Best regards, Katrin (HR&Recruiting)

Pros

- fast changing and developing environment but this can be for some people stressful. I like that the weeks are flying by and a lot of stuff getting done - cool people and fast, open communication but you need to be solution orientated - big pro "no all talk and no action atmosphere"

Cons

- can be sometimes stressful - a lot of stuff is changing and completing constantly sometime this results in lack of communication - already 350 people working there
