Uncertain future, poor leadership , and high turnover

Former EmployeeWorked at Arcondis AG in Reinach, Kanton Basel-Landschaft until 2023.
What I like about the employer
Talented and committed colleagues at the operational level Flexible working options Exposure to interesting projects and clients, when we can deliver
What I dislike about the employer
The company is in a difficult financial situation, and this is becoming increasingly visible. No bonuses have been paid for the past two years, and current salary levels are not competitive for the market. High turnover: multiple senior leaders, including the CCO, have left recently, and more exits are expected. The leadership team lacks both relevant experience and a proven track record. Many strategic decisions appear disconnected from reality. Employee morale is low, and workloads are high due to constant departures and unclear priorities. Communication from management is vague and reactive, with limited transparency about the company’s direction.
Suggestions for improvement
Be honest with your employees. Acknowledge the company’s financial challenges and stop pretending everything is under control. Prioritize rebuilding trust by involving experienced leaders and making the well-being of your people a real priority. Without a major shift in culture and governance, the downward trend will continue.

We’re sorry to hear that your current experience at Arcondis has led to such a critical view. Your feedback matters, and we take it seriously. At the same time, we’re genuinely grateful for your recognition of the strengths that shape our daily work: the dedication of our colleagues, the flexibility of our environment, and the opportunity to engage in diverse and meaningful client projects. These remain essential to our identity and culture.
As with many companies in a fast-evolving industry, we’ve faced periods of change that brought both challenges and opportunities.

We remain confident in the direction we are taking and are committed to ongoing efforts that strengthen alignment, improve clarity, and support our employees in meaningful and sustainable ways.
If you haven’t already done so, we encourage you to raise your feedback through internal channels - for example with your line manager, HR, or during our interactive Leadership Connect sessions, where employees can ask questions and engage directly with members of the leadership team.
We believe in constructive dialogue and know that open conversations are essential to continuously improving the way we work together. Thank you again for your candour - we’re committed to listening, reflecting, and continuing to evolve.

EmployeeWorked in HR / Training and Development at Arcondis AG in Basel, Kanton Basel-Stadt at the time of review.
What I like about the employer
The growing opportunities, open communication, great employee events and respect for the private life (outside of work).
Work-Life Balance
This balance is a priority at Arcondis. Flextime, a hybrid working style and trust as a key value of the company, really enable it.
Interaction with older colleagues
Open communication and flat hierarchies are particularly appreciated for junior profiles, especially when it comes to turning to more senior colleagues for advice.

Former FreelancerWorked in PR / Communication at Arcondis AG in Basel, Kanton Basel-Stadt until 2023.
What I like about the employer
Snack Kühlschrank. Tolle Tische. Toller neuer Ort in Allschwil- love it.
What I dislike about the employer
wie bereits oben erwähnt.
Suggestions for improvement
Am besten alle Kollegen kündigen die eine Buschfunk Atmosphäre schaffen anstatt zu arbeiten, und Vorgesetzte die nur Angstmachen ebenfalls und vllt noch schikanieren. Somit kommt man eher ans Ziel der Firma. Team= Together everyone achieves more, falls keiner weiss was dies bedeutet. Aber hier werden eher Betriebsfeier gehalten. Denke man ist einem wirklich nicht bewusst was Team bedeutet. Old school.
Working atmosphere
Arbeitsatmosphäre eher von Angstkultur geprägt, finde ich.
Image
eher Schein als Sein.
Work-Life Balance
Der Stundenansatz zählt.
Career/Professional development
Gibts für manche schon.
Salary/Social benefits
ich finde verdiene zu wenig.
Collegiality
Ich finde Kollegenzusammenhalt ist ein grosses Wort. Hier empfand ich es leider nicht so. Es ist alles ein aufgesetztes Lächeln, so ist meine Meinung.
Interaction with older colleagues
Ich mochte die älteren Kollegen da diese einfach viel netter waren, als die meisten jüngeren Kollegen.
Leadership behavior
Vorgesetztenverhalten empfand ich nicht als sehr vorbildlich. Viele wechseln ja auch nicht umsonst aus dieser Firma. Denn hätten Vorgesetzte ein gutes Klima erschaffen würden nicht viele wechseln. Ich nenne dies eine hohe Fluktuation. Es gibt ja mehrere Vorgesetzte, manche davon sind wirklich toll. Aber die meisten sollten nicht Vorgesetzte sein.
Working conditions
tolle screens, Tische und Getränke und Snacks Gratis- das einzig tolle hier in dieser Firma. Am besten konnte man nur essen um das negative auszuschalten. Am besten arbeitet man als Freelancer, dann braucht man mit den meisten Kollegen keinen Kontakt pflegen.
Communication
Kommuniziert wird wirklich alles, jedes einzelne Detail über jeden und über die Arbeit.
Equality
Eine Frau ist mit in der Geschäftsleitung aber das wars auch schon. Mehr männliche haben eher das sagen hier bei Arcondis.
