US Leadership is tanking the company
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The topics and the product we work on and my team is great
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The company is not about creating great products anymore. It is about ESG goals and ESG goals only. We claim that we want everyone to be valued and we want to win with integrity, but a lot of people do not feel valued anymore and the response is: suck it up. Internal ratings are also an all time low and the response is: "it is due to stress", which is not the case.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Replace the People and Culture team in the U.S and get the company on track again.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
It is not about making great software anymore. ESG goals are the number 1 priority
Kommunikation
Communication by the Leadership team is often dishonest or just marketing phrases. Austrian based communication is mostly much more honest, but you can see the US influence regularly
Kollegenzusammenhalt
In your own team it is great, on capability level good, outside of that only between the employees who have been here for a longer time.
Work-Life-Balance
Quite a bit of stress, but also no problem to go on vacation or take a day off. Recent changes in the work model made it mandatory to return to the office at least 2 days a week, which was a big change (which was also communicated very dishonest again)
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Rapidly changing. It is all about controlled communication, specific phrases to not offend anyone and trying to avoid direct answers at all costs.
Interessante Aufgaben
From a technical perspective, very interesting work. No complaints on that end.
Gleichberechtigung
Instead of valuing everyone equally (which is supposedly one of our top goals), people are separated into all kinds of groups, which are all celebrated with tons of flyers and advertisement to the point that I am moving this communication to the spam folder automatically. If you are a man (and white), don't expect anything from this company.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Older colleagues are valued as they have a lot of knowledge. Nobody was discriminating against them, but nowadays it is an offence to discriminate against people who are 40+ (not against younger people though), so a lot of tip toeing is going on.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Pretty good in Linz, since we have nice offices and a lot of amenities. Vienna Lab with the open space concept is horrible though.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Company itself has initiatives, employees could be more attentive. Wasting energy by keeping electronics running all day is not really necessary.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Quite good
Image
External Image: Very good from what I hear. Internal Image: Plummeting.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Getting approval to go to a conference is as hard as finding a unicorn. Planning needs to be done for the full next year. Somehow traveling is on a tight budget when it comes to some things, but then again you can see people regularly travel.
