Dear ex-colleague, thank you for your review and your good feedback. We are happy that you recommend us as an employer and that you rate us positively on so many points and to pass on your praise to our relocation team. It seems that the interaction within your team was a problem, which affected the communication and your well-being. We do our best to make sure that everyone can work in a supportive athmosphere - personal and work-related. For acute crises and more severe stress, we also offer our EAP (Insite) service, which provides quick and anonymous help with a variety of issues. In addition, you should never shy away from contacting your supervisor or HR manager directly if you are not feeling comfortable in your work environment. We wish you all the best for your future and thank you for your time with us. With many greetings from Hamburg Hanna

Pros

Working at About You always enables you to bite more than you can chew. Which is perfect for people starting their career to actually learn their limits and how much it actually takes to do something from start to finish. As most people don’t really know what they are doing, or live in a delusion they are amazing, you will almost never get told not to do something.

Cons

If you turn out to be super capable, reliable and successful, don’t expect that promotion and salary will follow. As no one asked you to as much as you took on, they have no feeling of duty to reward you. So, do your basic tasks and go crazy only on things you really want to get more experience with, so at the end you are actually only paid in that experience.

Dear ex-colleague, thank you for your review and your detailed feedback. We are happy that you would recommend ABOUT YOU as an employer and thank you for the long time with us! It is of course great to hear that you find the opportunities, possibilities and the high degree of independent work as positive and that you see it as a valuable learning experience, especially for career starters. However, it seems that you lacked appreciation on the other side, which we are sorry about. We are constantly developing, optimizing and designing our benefits and working conditions for our employees so that everyone not only experiences the freedom in their work, but also feels supported, encouraged and appreciated. This also involves implementing long-term changes. We value your opinion very much and take your feedback seriously. We wish you all the best for the future. With best regards from Hamburg Hanna
