Fear is dominating the scene
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
modern offices and premises, salary
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
the culture of fear, surviving only, toxic work environment in many areas (not in all though)
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Quoting the fish story here... Problems always start at the top...
Arbeitsatmosphäre
On the surface good, below is fear. Partially due to the bad business climate and the market pressure - which is understood. Partly also because of changes in managemen who mistrust others - especially those who are doing a good job. Could be dangerous if the new manager is not such a charismatic person..
A culture of fear especially the higher it gets up to the top. On the individual contributor level one can have quite a good and interesting live. The higher it gets up, the more toxic the culture.
Work-Life-Balance
This varies quite a big. Not too bit though.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Due to budget restrictions not that much opportunity for trainings. But as the turnover of employees and managers is extremely high, this can open up opportunities on the other hand, too.
Gehalt/Benefits
pay is quite good. I think it is to make up for the risks you take in this company when not a 'home-grown' employee.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Good for expert jobs, toxic at middle and higher management level positions. It is better though in the various countries and regions who are acting quite autarc. Headharter is the worst in this regard. But I experienced quite a amicable culture in the various country organizations.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
It really depends. From excellent to 'you get stabbed in the back'. Also here: the further up it goes, the more of a 'killerinstinct' you need to have in my view in order to survive.
Kommunikation
The German speaking colleages use the word 'Flurfunk' all the time. Water cooler talk. But this is not worse or better than in other companies.
Interessante Aufgaben
Mixed picture here: quite interesting tasks on country level, but quite dully tasks on headquarter level - especially since the last reorganisation as more and more gets pushed back to the country level.
