Pros

Fresh fruits, some colleagues are nice.

Cons

All the negative reviews on glassdoor are about the sales team, here is another one: - Poor communication: There is no clear definition of roles, monthly target changes contantly and it will only be communicated till the mid or end of the month. Commission scheme was only confirmed after 4 different answers back and forth. - No proper training and onboarding. The training agenda depended on the CSO's time schedule, he could be away for so many hours and you got confused about what to do. No structured training was given. - Very low and unfair salary. If you are an intern, you will work exactly the same and have the same monthly target as a full timer, while your commisssion is 60% less. Not to mention you received much lower base salary with the same workload. The CSO would simply tell you that "you are inexperienced", and ignore the fact that you have hit the sales target and performed well. - Super micromanagement: Even though 2 experienced managers are hired, they are still being micromanaged. It is very hard for them to have the empowerment and make changes. They have years of experiences and know how to walk, you don't have to teach them. - 3 employees were fired in a week without prior notice. Morale is really bad. Employees feel insecure about their jobs and contantly talk about job hunting. - No employee benefits, no BVG discount, no sports membership, no German class and no budget for personal development. - All in all, working in LemonOne is like having a toxic relationship. I am so glad that I can leave.

Dear former colleague, Thank you very much for taking the time for such a detailed review - we really appreciate it. We are sorry to hear that you have gained such a negative impression of us and did not feel comfortable working at LemonOne. We fully agree with you, that our employees are the most valuable asset! Therefore, we highly appreciate the impact each individual creates - regardless of the position. We attach great importance to place trust in our employees by giving everyone the opportunity to take responsibility and participate in the development of the company at an early stage. We are a big fan of trusting relationships based on empowerment and personal growth as well as creating a working atmosphere where our employees feel at home. Therefore, we prefer immaterial things such as regular team events to material things. However, we will keep your suggestions regarding further benefits in mind. We are sorry to hear that you did not experience this. Due to our growth and rapid development, our structures and processes change quickly and every single employee is important to actively lead the company to its optimum. Among other things, the sales team actively contributes to our growth, which is why it is particularly important to us that the commission models are fair. Thank you for raising this point. We will definitely look into it again to make sure that none of our team members have this feeling. Again, we are sorry that you experienced it this way. We hope we were able to provide you with further insights. Nevertheless, we always appreciate the time to answer all remaining open questions. Feel free to contact us via mail (hr@lemonone.com) or phone. And of course, we hope to see you again at one of our team events on our terrace once we can finally have these again after the current pandemic. We wish you all the best professionally and personally and hope to see you again soon. Best, Kaja
