Pros

The concepts of flexibility and adaptability define the overall energy of the company and the way teams work. People that possess a positive can-do attitude and keenness to pursue opportunities, dynamic approach to different projects, responding with pace and energy to situations and have the right attitude to changes are soft skills that we share in the company.

Cons

As an ecommerce company, continuous changes in processes, team restructuring, internal naming are part of our day-to-day business and can cause frustration and lack of routine in some people.

GSG’s brand as an employer

Pros

I joined GSG during COVID times. I went to pick up my laptop and never went back again until 2 years later. Despite of this, I always felt connected and close to the team. Phonecalls with cameras made me feel super welcome and nice to see the faces of the people that I work with. Still to date, this is something that helps us all stay connected across the world. My direct Manager has supported me from day 1. Thanks to this I have always felt empowered and supported. She supports me in my right decisions, and more importantly in my mistakes. She has taught me to be more decisive and it is something that has helped me a lot as a profesional in such a fast changing group. Additionally, whenever I contact any other team (commercial, product, people and culture, MDs) everyone is ALWAYS available and happy to support me in anything that I might need. Overall, I really like the culture of GSG and wherever I go or whomever I talk to I have experienced that we all live our GSG values. Flexibility is also one of the main advantages of working in GSG. It has helped me alot personally so I can visit my family for longer stays not just 1 week and it is something that I know we all value.

Cons

Not cons per-se, perhaps growth opportunities ;-) Corporate benefits: subsidy for public transportation, VSOPs, subsidy for gym, budget for personal development, additional paid maternity/paternity leave. I know this means budget, but it is definitely something that makes other companies more attractive. Legal department: since there is a Legal Counsel in GSG, it is fair to say that we all appreciate her expertise and knowledge. Nevertheless, her leadership style does not contribute to the team spirit within finance. For example: speaking mostly German in a team full of international people, making arrogant comments putting herself in a higher position, among others. Perhaps some leadership course would help her adjust to our international organization?

Hello!! We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your valuable feedback. Joining GSG during the challenging times of COVID presented unique hurdles for everyone, and we are genuinely delighted to hear that you felt connected and supported by the team and your manager right from the beginning. This underscores the kind of management approach we aim for – one that is supportive and fosters strong connections. Your positive experience with phone calls, even through screens, creating a welcoming atmosphere is music to our ears. Seeing the faces of the people you work with, even at a distance, reflects our commitment to being stronger together and upholding our values. We're equally thrilled to hear that you resonate with the culture at GSG, experiencing our values not just within the team but wherever the GSG community extends. Our commitment to flexibility is a key advantage we cherish, and it's heartening to know that it's making a positive impact on your work experience. Career growth is a top priority for us, and we appreciate your patience as our team of Learning and Development (L&D) and Comp&Ben experts actively review our promotion processes. The launch of a new internal hiring framework in 2023 aims to provide enhanced visibility into the diverse career and growth opportunities within GSG. Regarding benefits, we hear you, and we're on it! Making our benefits more attractive is a priority, and the new vacation policy with a higher amount of days and an extra day for your birthday is just the beginning. As well as offering a variety of local benefits. :) We're committed to continuously enhancing our offerings to make GSG an even more rewarding place to work. In a less positive tone, we are truly sorry to learn about your negative experience with a specific colleague. This is not the standard we expect, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Your advice on training is invaluable, and we are on it! Our Learning & Development team is working on a new program to support our people managers with the key knowledge they would need to succeed in their roles, is expected to be launched in Q1 2024. Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts. Your insights guide our ongoing efforts to make GSG an even better place to work. BR, Karla Blanco.

Pros

GSG is: - an international open-minded group (made up of caring people - the competition is outside, not inside so let's level up together!), - flexible (home office/workplace experience focused on employees being), - careful about work and personal life balance, and opening career opportunities to their employees in the long term (In more than 10 years, I had 3 jobs including responsibilities in different expertise fields allowing me to keep growing up professionally). On top of that (and not the less important element) you feel useful working to help people have more purchasing power in their everyday lives doing something joyful (shopping is much funnier and gives people more joy than administrative papers to fill in, don't you think)

Cons

I would say that processes have a double reading: security/clarity which are good, but also also some slowness. Parenthood would be an interesting topic to develop and value more in the company, in terms of flexibility and support.
