Pros

20 Eur for telephone bill Office location Free drinks

Cons

As soon after posting this, there will be many Grand fake posts and likes. Hope you will be fortunate get to see this review at the top. Redundancies & layoffs, the company is in a contraction mode. The entire place is corrupted, or at least most of it. If you are the best friends with your boss you will advance and be paid a hefty amount even if you do not know anything. People are badly underpaid, yet worry not - 20 Eur for telephone bill, free beers (because you won't afford to go out that much) and free BVG pass (just in case you run out of money before the next paycheck arrives and cannot afford to come to work) all cover for it quite well. This company will go down in a sputtering flame, at the expense of many brilliant and underappreciated and directionless employees. Despite doing some of our best work, many of us are doomed to be associated with this con-job for the rest of our careers.

First of all, thank you for your comments and expressing your - unfortunately negative - emotions. We would like to reply to your opinions so as not to leave them without answers or explanations: Indeed, we do ask employees to write their personal opinions on Glassdoor, but we never create ‘fake’ reviews and we don’t have any control over what they include. Glassdoor for Employers gives us the option to send a review request which we sometimes use as people are often not familiar with how important it is to rate the employer and help other candidates in understanding the company culture before joining the company. To avoid having uncompetitive pay in PubNative, we regularly conduct salary surveys among startups in Berlin and we use them both for potential raises and for preparing offers for candidates. And we always tranfer the salaries in time. Also, like many startups we restructured our team in order to improve our business line. We strongly encourage you to contact us and talk about our common history, especially the points that triggered such negative emotions in you. Best regards, Maxi Beck
