Product & Colleagues TOP - Leadership FLOP
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
A genuinely impressive product, meaningful work, flexible working conditions and many excellent colleagues.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The current leadership culture and the lack of trust, transparency and employee involvement
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Leadership positions should be filled based on leadership competence, professional behaviour and the ability to build trust and not primarily on tenure or internal relationships.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The atmosphere has deteriorated significantly due to the current leadership culture. I experience a lack of trust, little involvement in decisions and increasing pressure from management. This makes the working environment unnecessarily stressful.
Image
The external image is significantly better than the internal reality I experience.
Work-Life-Balance
Flexible working hours and home office are a real advantage. At the same time, the pressure and leadership culture can make it difficult to mentally switch off after work.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Career opportunities do not always appear to be based primarily on skills, performance or engagement. Personal relationships, visibility and tenure can seem to play a disproportionate role.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
One of the company's biggest strengths. Many colleagues are supportive, competent and genuinely enjoyable to work with.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
In my experience, trust and genuine employee involvement are lacking. Leadership decisions and communication can feel unnecessarily top-down and at times unprofessional.
Kommunikation
There is very little transparent communication. Decisions are often communicated late, with limited context, and meaningful employee involvement is missing.
Gehalt/Benefits
Very inconsistent. Some employees appear to be compensated very well, while others in comparable situations are not. More transparency and consistency would help.
Gleichberechtigung
There is a noticeable gap between the company's international image and everyday practice. English is officially the company language, yet important projects and discussions may still take place primarily in German.
I have also experienced or witnessed inappropriate discussions around gender and family planning in a professional context. In my view, these topics should have no influence on hiring or career decisions.
Interessante Aufgaben
The work itself can be very interesting and meaningful. Together with great colleagues, this is one of the strongest reasons to work here.
