Disappointing end after years of commitment
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
In the earlier years, there was a strong culture of ownership and autonomy. I appreciated the opportunity to implement modern tools and practices.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The company suffers from a lack of strong leadership and long-term strategic vision. Decisions often feel reactive rather than thought-through, with little transparency or consistency. Despite long-standing contributions, loyalty is not acknowledged or rewarded. Communication is frequently last-minute, and HR processes appear arbitrary and misaligned with the values the company claims to uphold.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
The company should treat long-term employees with more respect and fairness, especially during offboarding. Transparent severance policies, equal treatment, and recognition of contributions are essential. It's demotivating to see newer employees receive better packages while loyal staff are dismissed with a standard notice.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Hiring and firing became the new normal.
Image
The external image of the company no longer reflects the internal reality. While it presents itself as modern and people-focused, behind the scenes there's instability, lack of direction, and inconsistent leadership that negatively affects both culture and morale.
Work-Life-Balance
Work-life balance is generally respected, with flexible hours and remote work possible. However, high turnover and shifting priorities can lead to stress and unclear responsibilities at times.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There was little structured support for career progression or professional development. Growth was mostly self-driven, and leadership rarely offered guidance or clear paths for advancement—especially in later years when priorities kept shifting.
Gehalt/Benefits
Got better over the years.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
There was little emphasis on environmental responsibility, but employees had the option to take one day per year for social initiatives, which was a positive step toward social engagement.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The team spirit among peers was one of the few positive aspects. Many colleagues are supportive, collaborative, and highly competent—despite the unstable environment created by leadership.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
There were no older colleagues.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Unqualified people in leadership positions.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The general working conditions were good—modern tools, flexibility, and remote work setup were in place. However, the constant organizational changes, high turnover, and frequent layoffs increasingly created stress and instability.
Kommunikation
Communication is inconsistent and often top-down. Major decisions are shared last-minute, and employees are rarely involved or properly informed. Transparency is lacking, especially in times of organizational change.
Gleichberechtigung
Equal rights and diversity were promoted to some extent through internal groups and initiatives. However, these efforts felt more symbolic than structural, with limited impact on actual leadership representation or decision-making processes.
Interessante Aufgaben
There are interesting challenges and opportunities to make an impact—particularly if you take initiative. However, frequent changes in priorities and lack of strategic guidance can make work feel chaotic or repetitive.
