Good entry-level experience, but no real growth opportunities - Junior E-Commerce Manager Niboline Employee Review

- Incredibly talented and supportive colleagues, who often become your main source of motivation and help professionally and emotionally. - The small size of the company allows for regular interaction across departments, offering visibility into different areas of the business. - Hybrid working structure, with the option to work from home on Mondays and Fridays.

- Management lacks essential leadership skills, frequently alternating between micromanaging and offering no guidance at all, often leaving employees to handle unfamiliar tasks without the necessary support or resources. - Salaries are below industry standards, with no opportunities for career progression within the company. - No company benefits such as gym memberships, public transport coverage, or wellness support. - Inappropriate remarks (including sexist and racist comments) and a concerning level of involvement from management in employees’ personal lives. - Employee concerns are regularly dismissed, and there’s a clear lack of empathy and trust. For example, when taking sick leave or setting healthy boundaries. - Management has established core values that are not consistently upheld in practice by themselves. For example, one value emphasizes always maintaining a positive attitude, yet employees are judged or penalized if they don’t constantly appear cheerful or smile. - Even when employees consistently go above and beyond their scope, work goes unrecognized and efforts are undervalued. - Unjustified and unlawful terminations without any warnings occur frequently, contributing to a deeply unstable and emotionally challenging work environment.

- Great colleagues — supportive and talented team members - You learn a lot quickly due to being thrown into many tasks

- Constant fear of being fired; terminations happen with no warning - Invasive personal and sexist questions; poor professional boundaries - No HR department, no feedback culture, and no communication structure - Junior roles with senior-level expectations; underpaid compared to industry standards - No praise or recognition while employed — management takes credit for employee growth - Career growth is limited, controlled by just a few managers - Micromanagement and disorganized project planning a lot of stress - No real benefits (e.g., transport pass, wellness programs, weiterbildung etc.) - "Toxic positivity" culture — expected to stay cheerful despite burnout - Management uses international diversity as a branding tool, leveraging employees’ visa dependency to demand more work - Employee rights, like sick leave policies, are not communicated transparently - Feedback is ignored in performance reviews; they serve no purpose - Leadership appears to be unaccountable and indifferent to employee concerns or well-being
