Pros

Free drinks Ping Pong table (that you will not use because you are getting micromanaged and management only cares about work) Free Yoga and German classes (you won't participate due to the amount of work that needs to be done)

Cons

People constantly on sick leave You are paid to work 40 hours but people are working 50 - 60 hours as they are afraid to get fired if they don't manage to finish their tasks Cold-hearted, greedy, selfish management who only cares about getting more money without taking care of their employees It's end of March and lots of people have already reassigned or being kicked out One of the members of the board was forced to leave the company beginning of the year Another employee was kicked out without notice period (he was told to leave all sB belongings and leave the building). Though he was over a year in the company solarisBank treated him like a criminal. No one really understood why he was fired as he was liked by his colleagues and did a good job. Now there are a lot of rumors and people are scared to be the next person being "managed out" If you are a women be prepared that you will be exposed to sexist jokes no matter how much effort you put in your job. It's very usual that people comment behind your back that you were just hired because of your look Unhappy customers and no one cares to improve the customer's satisfaction The current Google reviews of sB are 2.5* and they would be even lower if employees wouldn't give 5* reviews (Please note that this falls under the Conflict of Interest section of Google's review policies and is not allowed). All member of the board are Germans (also high positions are reserved to them) HR (or P and O how they call themselves) are aware of bullying behavior and are just ignoring it Surveys are not anonymous. If you leave a bad review in a survey you will be fired. This already happened!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience. Culture and people do matter to us at solarisBank. We are dedicated to creating a good and safe work environment for all employees. That is why we drive different formats to foster exchange between all solarians including e.g. our fortnightly, company-wide Broadcast events as well as Ask Me Anything Sessions with our CEO. In addition to that we have regular, anonymous Pulse Check surveys with all the company as well as 360° feedbacks for the single employees. Of course, we also offer People and Organization facetime hours where feedback can be shared and anonymous ways for whistle blowing are established as well. Our employees do use these channels and contribute with an open exchange. The established formats also helped us in the past to identify topics where we needed to improve. We would appreciate if you could get in touch with us to get a better understanding of your experiences. Please do reach out to us via pando@solarisbank.de.
