Jimdo pretends to care, but doesn't.

Pros

Good perks, lets you work remote.

Cons

Jimdo seemed great at first, but then everything changed. Suddenly the atmosphere became negative and stressful. Seems like they decided to change the corporate culture and decided to care more about goals/metrics more than people. Jimdo pretends to care, but in the end will fire you and think nothing of it. Some of the managers don't seem to contribute anything but will pass judgement upon others. And there are FAR too many meetings. Stay away.

Pros

You will meet a diverse and very talented team while working in a great technology stack. The team leads are also very helpful and will assist you in every possible way

Cons

However, when head winds are in front of senior management they will have no trouble firing a whole department or using layoffs. This while passing the idea of being a company that deeply cares about its employees.

Dear former colleague, Thank you for your feedback and for openly sharing your thoughts. It’s nice to hear you find the technologies we are building and using interesting, that you enjoyed working with your Team Lead, and appreciate the talent and diversity of the Jimdo team. We truly understand your feelings about the recent layoffs. It was a very hard decision to make, but at the same time, Jimdo had to address business needs to remain sustainable in the longer term. We’re grateful for the contributions of all ex-Jimdoers. We worked hard to develop and provide a generous support package that would take care of our former colleagues and set them up for their next career move. The package includes an above-market severance allowance, assistance with finding new job opportunities, access to mental health support, an option to keep Jimdo hardware, and lifetime free access to Jimdo suite of products. We want to thank you for choosing Jimdo to be a part of your career journey and for bringing your skills, knowledge, and energy to help our users.

Cons

- Completely incompetent higher management without a clear strategy and plan - Countless restructures - American hire & fire culture - They listen more to external consultants and marketing gurus than following their core values - Absolutely no stability - They don't hesitate of firing talented colleagues with years of experience in the company

I completely understand that you are upset by the company’s recent decision. To give you some perspective, every business evaluates itself on an ongoing basis to ensure it has the right organizational structure and know-how to propel business growth. In this particular instance to be able to operate a modern, lean full-funnel teams on a global scale we believe we needed to apply structural changes. It is very important for us to listen to feedback from all our employees. We invite you to speak to your manager or our People team about how we can continue to support you in this difficult time.
