Dear colleague, Thank you for taking the time to write this review. I am pleased that you are satisfied with the company's performance. Regarding the problems you mention, we try to ensure continuous improvement through regular exchange within the teams! For example, regarding leadership and communication, this year we have built and rolled out an extended leadership program to develop further in these areas. We have also addressed the remote issue and now actively offer this to all developers living in Germany. We are very happy to have you with us and look forward to the time ahead! Best regards, Katrin

Dear colleague, thank you very much for your kind feedback and all the things you value about working at ABOUT YOU. We definitely try to keep the spirits high regardless of the current situation and I'm very glad you still felt like the working process is clean and clear at the environment is good within your team. Additionally, it is great to hear that you enjoy the challenges you are confronted with and feel like you are surrounded by industry experts. I can imagine that there are quite a few challenges, especially around the end of the year and Black Friday, but I hope you can use your vacation to switch off and gather enough energy to tackle all challenges you are confronted with :) We are very glad to have you on board and look forward to all the upcoming projects with you! Cheers, Katrin
