Unlike any other Austrian tech company, with its benefits and negatives
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
A certain kind of person probably thrives in a company like this. If you like working super hard, playing office politics, and enjoy typical American corporate culture, you'll love this and you'll have the chance to make it pretty far and build likely a very nice carreer here. It wasn't for me and it didn't meet my expectations, but for many other people, it's a great fit.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Communications training for certain top level executives. Empower your empathic local leadership rather than centralizing all decision making in the US. A company of this spread across the globe is not going to ever have a functional monoculture, so stop trying to create it by force. Actually listen to your employees and don't just pretend to. Allocate budget to reward and retain employees.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Caveat: local leadership (in Austria) is mostly excellent - this would easily have been a 5 star rating if I was considering only them. Everything about how US leadership is completely tanking the spirit of the company has already been mentioned in other reviews, so refer to that.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Greatly depends on the location you're working in (in Austria). Anywhere from good (small offices for 4-6 people) to pretty unbearable (large, loud open spaces).
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
I don't think any particular effort is made in this regard besides the absolute minimum requirements.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Short story: salary is decent to good (at least when I started). Additional perks are very good.
Long story: don't expect yearly raises ("merit increases") to keep up with inflation. The only way to keep up with inflation or to beat it by a negligable amount is to get promoted every single year. Otherwise, expect your effective salary to steadily decrease over the years. For a company that loves to boast about its increasing year over year revenue to its shareholders AND, perhaps more frustratingly, to its employees during its quarterly updates, this is laughable and inexcusable. There is NO room for negotiating your salary outside the yearly "merit cycle". So if you're not happy with what you're getting paid, expect to wait a full year to get an insulting 5% increase.
Image
Externally/towards customers and shareholders: probably pretty good.
Internally, the image of the company is crumbling for the aforementioned reasons and everything that has already been mentioned in other reviews.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There are plenty of opportunities and ways to build out your carreer. Getting noticed by your manager in order to get those positions or roles will require some office politics and friend-making on your part. Just doing good work is not enough in a company with thousands of employees - you have to make yourself visible if you want to get noticed and not remain anonymous.
