Great company to work for
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The working atmosphere has consistently been positive. Willingness to help, and the overall friendliness of people truly stand out. While there have been many changes over the years and this can sometimes be felt in the atmosphere, this is quite normal in an IT environment.
Work-Life-Balance
Work–life balance is supported by a high degree of flexibility. Starting earlier or leaving earlier is generally not an issue as long as work is completed. In addition to the standard five weeks of vacation common in Austria, we currently receive four wellness days per year. Overtime can be accumulated and taken as compensatory leave, and options such as unpaid leave are also available. Overall, there is a strong level of trust and flexibility when it comes to managing working time.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There's always opportunities to learn from other colleagues.
Gehalt/Benefits
Salary development has been fair and consistent, with regular increases over time. In addition, the benefits package is strong and includes a fully paid Climate Ticket as well as various shopping discounts.
I am aware that higher salaries can often be achieved by frequently changing companies. However, I’ve also learned that the grass is not always greener on the other side. While I could likely earn more elsewhere, the overall environment, culture, and people are what ultimately make me stay.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The sense of cohesion among colleagues is one of the company’s greatest strengths. There is a high level of trust, support, and mutual respect, and people are always willing to help each other out. This creates a collaborative environment where challenges are tackled together.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
My direct manager is extremely supportive and trustworthy, and I can always speak very openly. I feel comfortable addressing concerns, sharing ideas, or offering my perspective, knowing that it will be taken seriously. I am aware that management styles can vary and that I am in a fortunate position, but overall I have consistently felt heard when engaging with both middle management and executive leadership.
Kommunikation
Communication is always a challenge in any growing organization, and change‑management communication is an area where we still have room to improve. Finding the right balance between involving employees early enough to gather meaningful input and moving forward with necessary business decisions can be difficult. While this challenge is acknowledged internally, further strengthening transparency and feedback loops during times of change would significantly enhance the overall employee experience. I’m confident that with continued awareness and commitment, this can develop in a very positive direction.
Gleichberechtigung
I believe that everyone is treated equally, regardless of age, background, or gender. A great example of this commitment is the new childcare facility in Linz, which offers parents a high level of flexibility and meaningful support in balancing work and family life. The internationals program for attracting internationals but also supporting them in relocation and going a step further by supporting them in every aspect of their life is something very outstanding.
Interessante Aufgaben
Tasks in each area remain consistently interesting, but they also require active engagement from each individual. My responsibilities have changed several times over the years, sometimes initiated by leadership, and sometimes driven by my own initiative, such as proposing projects or taking on new topics. I believe everyone is also responsible for actively seeking out new challenges, deciding which opportunities to take on or decline, and bringing forward suggestions that align with their strengths and interests.
