Bewertungen für ResearchGate

Pros

Zero overtime expectations and an office in Mitte

Kontras

Sexist place with very few women working on leading positions. Hard to get a promotion and you are being mansplained every step of the way.

Pros

- Mission the mission is very unique. Most of the companies in the world are telling you that they can change the world. This company can really do it and it's already doing it. Great feeling going home when you know that you are working on science efficiency. - Leadership team & team Ijad the CEO just recently announced that because of the fast growth RG didn´t hire enough middle management to mitigate the risks of the hypergrowth. I can tell you the CEO is on fire right now. He is changing many many things. All of these changes feel right to many employees, but of course also people are being fired who weren't the right fit in the first place. Also what is quite impressive that Soeren who has been the COO and in charge of the monetization teams (he was overloaded with work and did not install the right people), handed over to Ijad his reports and he is still in the company working on strategy. In other companies usually the founders fight and then someone leaves. - Food I'm not sure how people can complain about the food at RG. It's healthy food! - Thumbs up for the people and recruiting team

Kontras

- Fast growth of the last years. The culture suffered which is being restored right now. Therefore, I stay and want to help the company to go through all these changes. - There are still some people who are quite negative and who should leave the company. I hope that the management is doing the right thing to let those people go. - Not enough communication about product (which has been changing a little bit).

Pros

Essen, Mission. Team. Ich finde das Team bei researchgate ist wirklich super und die Mitarbeiter geben sich Mühe die anderen gut zu behandeln (sehr gutes HR und Recruiting Team). Die Mission ist natürlich etwas was einen jeden Tag zur Arbeit wie einen Magneten anzieht. Das Essen ist kostenlos und schmeckt an den meisten Tagen :). Unfähige Manager im Sales Bereich sind zum Glück nicht mehr da.

Kontras

Nachteil ist definitiv das sehr schnelle Mitarbeiter Wachstum. Man findet sich damit irgendwann ab, dass alles so schnell vorwärts geht. Aber das Wachstum hat seinen Preis. Aktuell sind viele Veränderungen die man anfängt auch "unten" zu spüren, die das Wachstum wieder verlangsamen sollen.

Pros

* The product really has transformed science. But it's more the idea of being "open by default" and "communication is king" rather than the actual product. * You’ll finally learn what the word “nepotism” means based on your daily life at ResearchGate * Knowing this makes you look smarter for your next job interview, which you should start immediately after you joined and realised you made a huge mistake * The free lunch is first of all not free and second of all far from being great.

Kontras

* I guess life at Researchgate was ok until the investors asked: "it's been 10 years, where's the return for our money?". You can get away with a lot if you don't have to be profitable. But once you do, it all comes crashing down and you realize that you can't get really anything done with dysfunctional, amateurish management, demotivated teams and erratic product strategies that came to top management while showering this morning. * There are a lot really bad reviews of RG and you should believe all of them so you’re not as dumb as me who read them and thought “ah, how bad can it be?” (Spoiler alert: Very bad) * The positive reviews below are so obviously fake and written by the HR department that even Forrest Gump could spot them. Don't think for one second that HR will be on your side.

Pros

- There are some really good people working in the lower staff. Their egos are bearable and you can actually learn something from them.

Kontras

- Management will try to destroy your career as much as you can, for as long as they wish: - They have no leadership skills, no experience in management; - Their product is so outdated it makes me laugh. Just take a look at other startups that sell similar products and be awed at how much RG is old; - Extremely hierarchized; - You won't be give any value and there is no personal development plans that actually works - it's all a lie; - Below average salaries; - HR department is going nuts trying to increase their GlassDoor rating so that they can lure more people in and fool them into taking a job at this terrible company; - Constant restructuring and firing of people; There are dozens of cases of people being hired and fired in less than one month, "just because". They only care about saving themselves individually and don't mind if the company is sinking; - The CEO had a good idea a couple of years ago but now it's all about making money. If you really want to change the world of science be like Sci-Hub (except that won't allow you to ride a Tesla); - For all who read this: you have been warned.

Pros

Herausfordernde Arbeit und wirklich begeisterte Leute. Mission die Wissenschaft zu verändern. Das Essen! Gute Chancen für berufliche Weiterentwicklung und man kann die Verantwortung auch hier selber gut in die eigene Hand nehmen. Freundliche und offene Atmosphäre. Sehr internationales Team Das brandneue Büro!

Kontras

Nicht so flexible Möglichkeiten zu arbeiten :( Starkes Wachstum bringt Probleme mit sich, die das Unternehmen etwas besser voraussehen könnte. Aber das scheint wohl ein Problem bei allen stark wachsenden Unternehmen zu sein. das alte Büro!

Pros

Ich war sehr früh bei ResearchGate. In einer Zeit in der man noch mit allen Gründern Kontakt hatte. Ich fand die Zeit sehr cool und ich bin wirklich erstaunt und glücklich, was aus RG geworden ist. Durch den CEO hat man die Mission immer ins Blut gespritzt bekommen. Der COO ist ein Typ der die Sachen durchzieht bis sie erfolgreich sind. Das Team war damals wirklich sehr sehr angenehm und es hat viel Spass gemacht das mit aufbauen. Ich bin froh ein Teil dieser Erfolgsgeschichte zu sein, auch wenn nur ein kleiner Teil

Kontras

Es war damals sehr stressig. Startup bedeutet dass man häufig die Richtung wechseln muss und das innerhalb von Stunden. Das war manchmal sehr sehr ermüdend. Aber durch das Essen, Freiheiten etc. wurde das zum Teil kompenisiert. In dieser Zeit wurde einem sehr viel abverlangt. Damals war die Trennung von Part-tmern und Full-timern sehr hart durchgeführt. Ich habe es damals nicht verstanden, aber nun Jahre später wenn ich das reflektiere, merke ich dass das richtig war.

Pros

Hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter die einen fachlich noch nach vorne bringen... Vollverpflegung (Mittagessen, in den Küchen Brot, Käse, Wurst etc., Süßigkeiten, Trinken) Möglichkeiten zum Abschalten (Billiard, Tischtennis, Dart etc...) gute Mitarbeiterführung der CEOs... Es wird auf individuelle Wünsche eingegangen...

Kontras

kein typischer 9 to 5 Job... man sollte bereit sein auch mal nach Feierabend Sachen zu fixen
