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.

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience at Arcondis.

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 recognise that such transitions can create uncertainty, and we understand how this may have shaped your perspective. 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.

Best regards,

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.

Interesting tasks

ja Vielfalt hat man hier

Former EmployeeDid no longer work at Arcondis AG in Reinach, Kanton Basel-Landschaft at the time of review.

What I like about the employer

Management are only humans as well, and they don't give this cliche management attitude. Everyone is easily approachable. Keep it up.

Working atmosphere

Great Place, unfortunately I left before the move to Allschwil.

Image

I didn't hear a lot from others, but the few things were all positive.

Work-Life Balance

That depends a lot on the customer, in general I worked a lot, but I had a lot of freedom on when and how. The social events were great as well.

Career/Professional development

Lots of training possibilities. People wanting to do more receive the chance and this is honored accordingly.

Salary/Social benefits

I would say it's average, but considering my background and experience I was happy.

Environmental and social responsibility

Can't say too much about it overall, but in our group we were also looking for ways to increase sustainability. Home Office was no issue as well.

Collegiality

Amazing colleagues, you can always ask for support/opinions and everyone is happy to share their expertise.

Interaction with older colleagues

My buddy who started at the same time is around 20 years older than me, and was treated the same way.

Leadership behavior

Really helpful, present and without attitude.

Working conditions

The office in Reinach could get a little hot, but now they are in a new building in Allschwil.

Communication

Really good, also because management was present and always had time for a chat.

Equality

Everyone was treated the same way, that's how it's supposed to be.

Interesting tasks

Depends again a lot on the customer, but I found it really interesting and I learnt a lot during my time at Arcondis.
