Lost in directions

Pros

Great potential in the future open-minded team

Cons

No onboarding/training to newcomers, scrambled to get information on their own Management focuses on short term goals and heavily on numbers that can be easily manipulated, inconsiderate of sustainable strategies and the shift of the current market trends. Projects are run independently by newcomers with little guidance Should pay attention on knowledge buildup instead first

Thank you for your review. We never want our employees to feel lost in their direction and appreciate this feedback. We are constantly working on improving our onboarding experience - therefore I would like to invite you to work with us together to identify the missing areas. As for training and knowledge this is a topic we are presently working on, including actions around e-learning, structured training paths, knowledgemanagement tool. If you have additional ideas, suggestions and or initiatives please always feel free to reach out to your manager, Stefan (our CEO) or the HR department.

Wrong Focus

Pros

Fast growing industry even in pandemic times

Cons

Management is accustomed to blame the sales team for everything. Instead of investing in R&D and making the products better, tons of money is poured into sales training and force management. Meanwhile deals are lost because the products are overpriced and not competitive enough. Nothing the sales team can do about with Meddpicc Wake up!

We are saddened to read this review as we’ve spent effort investing in both Sales and R&D. Bitmovin was recently honored with the Technology & Engineering Emmy Award for our innovative work. All forms of training are important to us as they provide avenues for growth and development. As a company we strive to provide the best products, drive R&D, and win as a team. Michael HR Director

Thank you for the feedback. We appreciate it as it gives us a chance to discuss, learn and improve. We too think we have an amazing group of employees and as a company we work hard to create a strong culture because we feel it’s essential to helping employees thrive. As the company continues to grow we are excited to welcome many new joiners, and will continue to learn as much as we can from those who leave. As a mostly remote workforce we agree that an exceptional on boarding program is key in the success of new employees. We’ve put a lot of consideration into our onboarding programs and in the last few months we’ve made significant changes to the process which has shown positive results. If you’d like to share more details on ways to improve the employee journey we would be happy to hear from you. Best Michael HR Director michael.peter@bitmovin.com
