Dear Reviewer! Thank you for taking the time to review your work experience at Fonpit AG. Unfortunately, we do not understand what you mean by "No flexibility / telecommuting, and if you ever get sick, you'll never hear the end of it." If you could go into little more detail here, that would help a lot. Looking at (anonymous) feedback we are receiving from current employees, we cannot see any evidence of people being worked to the bone. In contrast we encourage people to take compensation days and of course their holidays. For your future career paths, we would like to advise you to be more open regarding feedback while you are still employed. Regards, Fonpit AG

Pros

For the first time im my whole career, both in Berlin and abroad, I have found a place where I gladly arrive in the morning, as if I would be meeting friends for a coffee. 1. I never feel obligated (forced or pushed) to do anything, and this is for me the biggest motivation to work hard and stay inspired. I mean, I feel way more efficient when being able to set priorities together with my colleagues in a friendly atmosphere and not simply "do what the boss told". 2. I also have a chance to combine multiple responsibilities and learn new technologies, which is for me a reason to come to the office in the morning. 3. Here each one is his/her own boss. So for someone in a junior position, maybe it's not the best place to learn from someone. But for people with high level of self-motivation and a vision for goals, it's simply perfect. Here you have to rely on yourself. 4. The company is very family-friendly and offers a flexible schedule. 5. Benefits like fruits, nuts etc. I hope there's no need to tell much . Just normal startup-setup here. 6. I will not say about other departments (maybe it's different from how it looks), but in mine people are insanely positive.

Cons

Well, for me personally the "contras" is something I find beneficial: no clear goals and finely-planned strategy from management lets us all be self-managed and do more than indicated by the job description. What could be improved: 1. Hardware could be better. 2. Out-of-the-office professional activities, such as conferences, are not much supported. It's even hard to get a day-off, not to mention the company will not pay them.
