MeteoNews AG

We hack the weather MeteoNews creates and delivers weather forecasts and all kinds of weather related products for customers in Switzerland, France, and around the world. We run our own forecast models, a fully automated TV studio, highly available webservices, many websites for customers as well as for our own brand, mobile apps, specialized internal tools for our meteorologists, our own network of weather stations, rendering services for newspapers and much, much more. We do all of this with a surprisingly small but powerful IT team of only 5 people, developing many of our tools internally, based on a mostly free software stack (yep, there are a few non-free exceptions, but we tend to just pick what suits us best). You hack the weather You're a creative mind and you know your stuff (see below for some tools we use). You don't shy away from real work and you can keep track of multiple tasks at once. As, honestly, it gets tough here sometimes, and in our very small team we need everybody and there's no room to hide. You're fun to work with and you have fun working. As, especially if it gets tough, we try to take things seriously, but not too seriously. Yep, we fail sometimes, and there might be some tense moments. But we all want to enjoy what we do. And you'll feel happy and proud together with the rest of the small team, every time we achieve something extraordinary.

This works well in the company

MeteoNews offers an interesting, broad and diverse range of activities in which you can use and expand your skills. What I personally appreciate: - Flexibility of working hours - Possibility of home office - Team spirit, collegial working atmosphere with a family touch - The constructive dialog between colleagues and the management. - The opportunity to contribute my own ideas and suggestions for improvement. - diverse and exciting activities - flat hierarchies

This could be improved

- More "manpower" for the long-term projects. Customer satisfaction is a top priority at MeteoNews. Therefore, customer requests are given priority. For project planning, however, this means that the long-term projects are pushed further back.

This works well in the company

My resume to be employed here after 1.5 months: People with an affinity for technology and a flair for system administration (Linux, OpenBSD, Mac, Windows) and programming (from shell scripts to websites) can let off steam here. It is a complex, fascinating and lively environment with its own television and radio studio. There is always something to do - maintaining systems of various kinds, clarifying and meeting the needs of the various stakeholders both internally and externally, as well as operating the entire technical infrastructure around the clock. The organisation of the complex systems and infrastructure is well thought out and offers a wide range of opportunities to get involved. The people here are diverse, friendly and cultivate an extremely pleasant culture of communication. Anyone can contribute ideas and find a hearing. Decisions are made as far as possible in the team. The hierarchies are flat and the communication channels correspondingly short. In addition, there is a deep insight into the fascinating world of meteorology and weather.

This could be improved

There's always something to improve. This is in the nature of things, especially an infrastructure of this complexity and enterprise of this size. Problems and suggestions for improvement are discussed and solved in a pragmatic, professional and needs-based manner. It's a living environment that never stands still.
