Arbeitsatmosphäre

Short-term contracts lead to high job insecurity

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Staff in leadership positions is generally overwhelmed by their role and does not possess specific training to fulfil their role. Personal relationships and networking are more important than good results.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Job insecurity leads to competition among colleagues

Interessante Aufgaben

Most projects are interesting and challenging, however often constrained in their professionalism by political considerations, but the latter depends mainly on the project.

Kommunikation

Competition between projects and (management) staff hampers internal communication

Gleichberechtigung

Few women in leadership positions.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Older people don't work there as most of them can't cope with the pressure and insecurity of the job for very long.

Karriere / Weiterbildung

Offered trainings are a joke.. career prosepects yes, but only via on-the-job learning and sacrificing work-life-balance

Gehalt / Sozialleistungen

Very good salaries in theory, but not if compared to actual working hours and lack of access to public social security benefits, such as unemployment benefits.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Noisy offices, overcrowded

Work-Life-Balance

Flexible working hours (in theory) which leads in practice to unpaid overtime and very rarely granted compensatory leave (varies a lot between projects which creates frustration)

Verbesserungsvorschläge

• Leadership trainings for the management, more thorough trainings for staff Staff recruitment based on competency and not personal preference and networks More job security via long-term contracts Professionalise HR management

Pro

International and multi-cultural.
Despite negative experience with staff in leadership positions, there are also highly motivated, competent experts working at ICMPD. Unfortunately, they cannot rise to their full potential in this organisation.

Contra

No job security, no transparency, overwhelmed management, no work-life balance, no trust (for good reasons..).
