Changed a lot, not recommendable anymore - Anonymous employee Geschenkidee Employee Review

- A nice office in a great area of Berlin - Flexible working hours - Dog-friendly (as long as you are friends with management)

- A very strong hierarchy system - Favoritism - An HR department without compassion for the employees - Leaders who are incapable of taking constructive criticism - Ostracism in both official and personal situations - Only possible to get a raise if you are friends with the people in charge - Management trash talks employers within the circle of power, this happens both during and after office hours - High rotation on employers, due to a high rate of people quitting or getting fired (few people stay more than a year) In other words, management is only open to advise from every department as long as it substantiates their own opinions, people that are not likeminded will either not be heard or do not dare to speak up in fear of getting targeted for ostracism and in some cases bullied until they quit or get fired. Geschenkidee is a perfect example of management ego standing in the way of the companies’ success. They treat people in a way that reflects their personal relationships above performance time and time again. On top of all of this, they use their international and often young employees ignorance when it comes to German laws, to deceive and take advantage of people.

First off, great sweet kind people from all over the world Used to be in a great big office in a nice location Sweet office dogs

Claimed to have flat a hierachy, when this was not the case, arrogant and boring management, didnt really seem to care about the people with lower salary in the company or their efforts. Always more work than you were being paid for Really bad communication When management finally fired almost everybody in 2019 because of their failing business, things were handled really bad and the people who did their job to the end were not being thanked or appreciated at all. Seemed like nobody really gave a flying duck about how the shops were being closed down, as a result geschenkidee now has angry customers and bad reputation. Shame to see such a nice place to work go in to flames like that.
