Toxisches Arbeitsumfeld & Nepotismus
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The collaborative and friendly coworkers who do their best to help others cope with management's toxicity.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The toxicity and lack of fairness that has been established by people in "leadership" positions.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
The company needs to make changes at its core, to uproot its foundations -- which will probably never happen.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Basic, uninspiring offices. Dirty surfaces - employees have to clean eveything themselves.
Image
Due to the toxic work environment, the word of mouth has done its work. Locals are aware of the questionnable working conditions. Internationally, the company is mostly ignored.
Work-Life-Balance
The only positive benefit was the home office policy. Unfortunately, this was prohibited for no clear reasons for certain time periods.
Certain Departments are understaffed, leading certain employees to burnout.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Dead-end. Fake promises for promotions and further development.
Gehalt/Benefits
Quite low, especially for non-Austrian nationals.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Recycling bins are placed in the office building. However, any environmental efforts are underminded by the costly and unsustainable production efforts.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The great majority of employees and middle managers are very nice and easy to work with. However, certain people in senior management compensate their incompetence with a facade of inflated self importance and superiority. These people are protected due to their questionable relationships with other people in leadership positions. Nepotism and lack of fairness prevail.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
I witnessed employees who worked for multiple years in the company being fired whenever it was convenient.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Lack of good judgement and managerial skills. They try to compensate it with an inflated sense of self.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The desks and chairs are comfortable but the lack of hygiene is a major red flag.
Kommunikation
Extremely poor communication. Employees should guess where projects are heading, what are the goals, and even how the products are evolving. Witnessed people not be informed about upcoming business trips till the day before the flight.
Mistakes are blasted across departments - shouting and swearing are not uncommon. Employees are being lied to constantly.
Kununu reviews tend to disappear since June 2023. This is another red flag.
Gleichberechtigung
The company employees people from different parts of the world and of both genders. However, foreign nationals are often exploited by being offered below average salaries and women are seen as personal assistants. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for women in managerial roles to have this exact same attitude towards other women.
Interessante Aufgaben
The R&D Department may enjoy their projects. That is not the case for almost every other department, where employees have to perform menial and repetitive tasks. Narrow minded managers who are afraid to think out of the box create an uninspiring work environment that sucks the life out of you day by day.
