Pros

Nothing really comes to mind except that the offices are OK.

Cons

The office atmosphere is repressing, controlling and horrible. It is very competitive with each employee watching their back and refusing to work together harmoniously when required. I have never seen such a lack of team spirit or even basic friendliness between departments in a start-up. Most of upper management are incredibly immature, inexperienced, awkward, 'jumpy' if you get what I mean, aggressive, over-emotional and over-controlling. It was honestly like working under a bunch of hormonal teenagers. There are so many start ups doing exactly the same thing, it is just a bad copy, even the quality of the campaigns is frankly old fashioned, basic, outdated, and for the most part people don't come back for 2nds which makes it difficult to work there as you know the clients will ultimately be more or less disappointed. I would not expect the outlook of the company to be very positive. And I would not recommend doing an internship here- they try to suck you in saying you will have a job after 3 months for basic positions like telesales which require minimum training. Interns appear to be exploited as cheap labour, unfortunately, like a number of immoral and inefficient start ups in Berlin. I personally did not undertake a internship but if I had I would have been disappointed.

Dear former employee, thank you very much for the detailed feedback. You mentioned many points which are very important to us. We can barely understand your views and experiences at blogfoster. We have a self-determining and friendly working atmosphere, so that all employees feel comfortable and can achieve the best together. The team spirit among the employees is very important. We also reject the accusation that blogfoster is a bad copy. In the past years we have gained a strong position in the market and will continue to maintain it. Without significantly differentiating ourselves from our competitors, this would not have been possible. We ask you not to judge our internships if you have not done an internship at blogfoster yourself. With these positions we would like to offer young people the opportunity to further develop themselves. Therefore we offer a working environment and an atmosphere, which makes it possible to become active yourself, if the necessary initiative is shown. Thank you very much for your feedback to our management. Kind regards, the HR-department

Pros

A good healthy atmosphere, a ballanced mix of an internet startup and a marketing agency.

Cons

Would be nice to have an office in a better connected side of Berlin. Maybe go remote-first?
