Pros
NOTHING! App Marketing Agentur is also known as Weever Media Ltd. Be careful!
Cons
- I was lied in the interview: I was told the company had 6 people when they actually were 2, and one of them had already resigned. During the year I worked there, 7 people where hired and fired or resigned. Only me and other colleague had previous experience, all the rest are students and interns.
- The environment is really aggressive and toxic: The owner fights constantly with every employee, the treatment is really unprofessional and disrespectful.
- The owner is an extreme micromanager and control freak: He doesn’t trust his employees, thinks they hide information and exclude him from crucial decisions. He craves power and tries to enforce it anyway he can. He thinks you should be grateful because he is paying you, does’t see this it as a two way collaboration.
- The owner does not understand the business: For example, he doesn’t know the difference between an online ad agency and an ad network, and he doesn’t understand what the job of each of his employees is.
- No flexible hours: You are expected to do extra hours because the owner feels it’s unfair that he leaves late and you on time (when we all stayed till late and had only 30 minutes lunch breaks or less). Also, he expect’s you to check on everything over the weekend.
- Contract negotiation: When my 1 year contract was ending the owner offered me a 3 months extension because he didn’t knew if the company was going to survive. When I declined, he offered me a 6 month contract with several ridiculous conditions I should follow and NO salary raise. When I decided not to continue working there he delayed the payment of my last salary for 3 weeks, he messed up with my unemployment papers and he didn’t sent the lohnsteuerbescheinigung for almost a year, until I had to call and request it.
- Interview: The owner will make you wait for at least 15 minutes. He does this to seem important and busy, but in reality, he is browsing facebook.
- No perks: Not even mineral water. You only have coffee, milk, bananas and apples because that’s what the owner likes.
