KISKA

Bewertungen

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

It is a great and creative environment. The colleagues make kiska to a awesome place. Also most of the clients are very great to work with.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Bad communication.
Not enough leadership on management level.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Kiska should give the responsibilities to the departments and the leaders. For example HR has not a lot of power. Give more trust to the employees and also treat them as they would be as important/more important as the clients.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

The co-workers doing an amazing job to make a good atmosphere.

Work-Life-Balance

I think this improved a lot over the last years. But it still feels like you should be available for the company all time. In some departments it is common to work at the weekends, in other it nearly never happens.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Gehalt/Benefits

The salary is going to be okay at a certain level and it is paid always on time.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

This is only considered if it brings money in or if we can sell it as a service to a client.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

In most departments you work as a team and help each othe wherever needed. Many colleagues also spending their free time with each other.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

There are not many older colleagues

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Depending on your line manager. Quite often the last decision is at the management and here it is not always clear how they came to a decision.

Kommunikation

Communication from the management is not very clear or transparent.

Gleichberechtigung

Especially in the upper positions are not so many women. Often women after maternity come back with less responsibility.
Not all rules apply to everyone. If you are loud you will be better heard and maybe you get more.

Interessante Aufgaben

Projects are always nice and different. Also clients are changing often so to see different industries.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Tasks and team members.
Very nice workplace!

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Very few people get old in here, very high fluctuation.
Part of management and directors should be replaced!

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Value your employees, keep and develop them.
Start acting like written at the kitchen wall!

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Poor management, weak directors!

Image

Outside perception (still) good but fading.
Colleagues among themselves know how things go...

Work-Life-Balance

I loved my work and did the grind.
Not family friendly at all!

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Gehalt/Benefits

Was OK in my case.
They milk the young ones!

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

They don´t give a shit.
Wheel spins at lowest possible cost...

Kollegenzusammenhalt

I loved my team.
Creative leads would be the better directors (and management).

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Expect no love.
Youngsters is their business model.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

They don´t give a shit about their employees!

Arbeitsbedingungen

Loved it.
Air condition needs improvement.

Kommunikation

Team communication is great, management and directors needs improvement!

Gleichberechtigung

Too many male lead monkeys...

Interessante Aufgaben

The main reason why I loved it so much!

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Office location is great.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Be more honest and direct to employees and clients.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

The atmosphere amongst the design team is generally very good. Unfortunately a few too many with egos bigger than they deserve.

Image

KISKA is careful about marketing a certain image. Unfortunately, only once you start working there you realize it's just marketing. The phrase "Don't meet your hero" comes to mind here.

Work-Life-Balance

Interns and junior designers are encouraged to work for free on evenings and weekends. Overtime is often required due to the very tight deadlines. The partners squeeze as much out of you as possible and that loyalty is unfortunately one-sided.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Gehalt/Benefits

For the industry the Salary is low. Pay rises are small. You have to fight for what's owed to you sometimes.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Personalities often get in the way of progress.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

A certain partner that is without fail 10-15minutes late for any meeting. No respect for others time. No consideration for work life balance. Management not familiar with process and how long tasks take and therefore set unrealistic deadlines that can't be met.

Arbeitsbedingungen

IT equipment is pretty out of date and starting to get worn out.

Kommunikation

Senior management and partners are extremely poor at communicating what they would like from the design team. Feedback is not direct and creative direction is wishy washy.

Interessante Aufgaben

The work is interesting and varied.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

clients

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

too much pressure to perform. targets are always required! always checked after 6 months! If you meet all the targets, also no more salary! every month employee jurefix. rebuke everytime. never praise! no competencies but all duties! no benefits! not even for employees who ride a motorcycle. no support. constant change of employees, no core competence, suggestions for improvement and wishes are ignored, criticism isnt accepted, tits a risk of dismissal. arrogance ... employees are treated unequally. some are allowed to bring the dog, others not. unclear allocation of competencies! sometimes many, sometimes none - as the superior wants. every day different..........

Verbesserungsvorschläge

better treatment for employees, more respect, less arrogance

Arbeitsatmosphäre

most employees are very frustrated. short-time work also made it much worse. exploited. unequal treatment!

Image

very good for clients.
bad for future employees.
other companies are happy about former Kiska employees and get the good people.

Work-Life-Balance

nobody knows, HR is implement the management interests, not for the employees

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Gehalt/Benefits

underpaid, therefore only young employees (cheaper) with no experience, overtime without compensation is a must

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

no trash separation, no electric cars

Kollegenzusammenhalt

no team feeling, everyone has to fight individually, different salary for the same tasks and qualifications

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

minority ... young employees are easier to control

Vorgesetztenverhalten

incompetent superiors, burned out, no basic knowledge of automotive industry, no leadership skills, no further training, ...

Arbeitsbedingungen

open office, noise, no space, many colleagues are on the phone, hear every conversation, cold in wintertime, too hot in summertime, because air conditioning isnt working properly. the competition companies makes us employees good offers and they win.

Kommunikation

employees are not informed about anything! not even important news about clients.

Gleichberechtigung

women are minority

Interessante Aufgaben

interesting customers

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

The work itself is interesting and you have a lovely mountain view

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

To much fake people, to many lies

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Start with honesty, pay people properly, see what they are able to do and stop spitting on their backs.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Leader should lead but they don't. No trust in the employees, always too tight time lines because people in the top fail while planing.

Image

More show than reality.

Work-Life-Balance

Lucky if you have one. Overhours are not paid but usually have to be done.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Gehalt/Benefits

The other big point why people leave! Really bad salary for what they ask of people!

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

They try but there could be done way more.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Not existing in a lot of teams. Everyone is just trying to save themselves.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

No older colleagues existing after people leave a lot. Constantly new people, therefore there can't be a knowledge base!

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Wrong people in wrong positions. One of the main reason why people leave this company. The leaders don't know about the strengths of their designers and therefore do not push them up to a higher position. Unfortunately, the leaders mainly talk behind people's backs,no honesty.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Too hot in summer after A/C does not work properly and in winter overheated.
Noise canceling headphones should help against the work shop noises.

Kommunikation

Not really existing when it comes to the high positions and the 'workers'. The designers are always in an open communication tho.

Gleichberechtigung

Either the leader likes you or not.

Interessante Aufgaben

Absolutely! Nothing else to say! Awesome.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Mangelnde Kommunikation, Misstimmung, unfaires Verhalten

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Mitarbeiter fördern anstatt immer neue zu holen, Gehälter anpassen, flexiblere Arbeitszeit, Sozialleistungen bieten wie gefördertes Mitagessen, Sportkurse, Sprachkurse, Bustickets,...

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Schlechte Stimmung, unzufriedene Gesichter

Image

Für junge Designer gut um erste Erfahrung zu sammeln und den Namen im Lebenslauf zu haben. Sonst ist Kiska unbekannt

Work-Life-Balance

Strasses System, All in, keine Gegenleistung

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Gehalt/Benefits

Gehalt nicht angepasst an All in
Sozialleistungen nicht vorhanden

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Gibt es überhaupt Mitarbeiter über 50?

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Mitarbeiter werden nicht informiert, nicht gefördert, Manager oft nicht qualifiziert für Ihre Aufgabe, schlechte Führung

Druck, Lärm durch Großraumbüro

Kommunikation

Oft falsch Versprechen von Vorgesetzten und der Firmenleitung

Nur Männer in Führungspositionen,
Keine Teilzeitlösungen
