Good benefits, but culture and leadership need improvement
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Competitive salary compared to the industry standard
Attractive benefits such as additional vacation days, home office options, and wellness programs
In some teams, a supportive and respectful atmosphere among colleagues
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Deterioration of the company culture in the last 1.5 years, with a noticeable decline in motivation and atmosphere
Very high employee turnover leading to a loss of knowledge and continuity
Poor communication: important decisions are non-transparent, feedback is often ignored
Arbitrary and poorly planned hiring and promotions, which frustrate employees and create instability
Weak leadership culture: little accountability, criticism is not welcomed, managers appear defensive
Limited career prospects and few genuine opportunities for development
Gap between external image (modern, sustainable, socially responsible) and the reality employees experience internally
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Strengthen communication: Ensure transparent, consistent, and timely communication across all levels. Important decisions should not be hidden or delayed.
Retain knowledge and reduce turnover: Take employee feedback seriously, address the causes of resignations, and implement clear strategies to keep experienced staff.
Fair and structured promotions: Base career development and promotions on performance and skills, not arbitrary decisions. Establish clear and transparent criteria.
Improve leadership culture: Train managers to be empathetic, accountable, and open to constructive criticism. Leadership should inspire rather than intimidate.
Respect work-life balance: Enforce realistic workload expectations, reduce unnecessary overtime, and ensure flexibility policies are actually applied in daily practice.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
I used to really enjoy working here, but over the past 1.5 years the atmosphere has changed dramatically for the worse. What was once a motivating and collegial environment has now become tense, stressful, and discouraging. The arrival of a new leader in my department was not the root cause, but rather an early sign of a broader cultural shift that has now affected the entire company.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Career development and training opportunities are limited. While there are programs and internal training formats in place, they are not applied consistently. Promotions often appear arbitrary rather than performance-based, which discourages employees who are looking for a transparent and fair career path. Structured mentoring or long-term development plans are lacking, and many colleagues feel stuck in their current roles without realistic prospects for advancement.
Gehalt/Benefits
Compensation is more than competitive compared to industry standards and remains one of the few clear advantages of working here. Benefits such as additional vacation days and home office options are appreciated.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Team spirit has suffered greatly compared to the past. Since the beginning of the year, 13 colleagues in my department alone have either resigned or transferred internally. The high turnover destroys continuity and weakens collaboration.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Across the organisation not many older colleagues can be found.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Leadership is one of the main reasons for the decline. In contrast to earlier times when the company felt more stable, decisions now seem arbitrary and poorly planned.
New hires and promotions often appear random and uncoordinated, leaving knowledge gaps unaddressed.
Kommunikation
Communication is consistently one of the weakest points.
Important decisions are made without transparency, updates are often incomplete, and feedback from employees is rarely taken seriously. While official statements emphasize openness, many employees experience the opposite: managers delaying or avoiding communication, particularly on sensitive issues.
Gleichberechtigung
Although equality is frequently emphasized in official statements, the reality does not reflect these values.
Promotions and opportunities often appear arbitrary rather than based on performance or fairness. This undermines trust and discourages employees who feel overlooked despite their contributions.
Interessante Aufgaben
In the past, tasks felt more engaging, but now they are often repetitive and frustrating. The loss of experienced colleagues has led to unstructured reassignments, which prevents professional growth. Valuable expertise is leaving the company, and no sustainable strategy is in place to retain or rebuild it.
