Small consulting company with frequently changing staff.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Small team, direct lines of communication. Little to no bureaucratic management structures. Good public transport connections and centrally located.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Lack of leadership and micromanagement. Timelines are usually (avoidably) disorganized and poorly communicated. Salary payments can be delayed or are sometimes only made upon request in the following month.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Encouraging the team in terms of collaboration and cohesion. Allocation of tasks according to individual qualifications and competencies. Establishment of a minimum level of leadership as well as transparent communication channels.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Lack of team spirit, lack of leadership, harsh tone, dismissive attitude.
Kommunikation
Poor communication, little transparency - employees are delegated instead of being included in discussions and decision-making processes.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Good to poor, due to unclear assignment of tasks and responsibilities.
Work-Life-Balance
Although flextime is undesirable, working overtime is expected but not mandatory.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Pronounced tendency to devalue employees and a need to control them (micromanagement), calls for independent initiatives but does not encourage or value it.
Interessante Aufgaben
Interesting EU projects and research areas, especially in the field of bio-based production, energy, health & nutrition, materials and bioeconomy.
Gleichberechtigung
At times, the proportion of women positively outweighs men.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Seniors are less strictly reprimanded, but they are also subject to criticism.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The office is located in a regular residential building, with a noisy workshop and student accommodation in the immediate vicinity. There is hardly any cell phone reception in the patio. No work mobile phone or other benefits.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
No special features or activities and no barrier-free access available.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Relatively fair pay, but no opportunity for renegotiation and bonus payments are made exclusively to befriended and favored employees.
Image
Image is built up through personal contacts. Professional and strategically organized customer acquisition as a team is not practiced.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
No promotion or further development opportunities available. Participation in courses or other further training programs (e.g. online conferences and workshops) must be approved and are always critically questioned.
