Culture needs to change
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The vision, the dream, the goal
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
A strange culture of excessive talk and self‑promotion.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
With responsibilities should also come a certain level of authority, so that decisions can be made more quickly. Not every topic needs to be discussed and presented to everyone. Honestly, if you can’t finish your work, report, or experiment because you have too many meetings, there is a structural problem in the company.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Took a hard hit after the mass layoffs and it really depends on the team.
Kommunikation
Horrible, you don’t know what’s going on until it’s too late. Hard topics and serious issues are hidden or actively suppressed.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
To be fair, the company is filled with amazing people who, in most cases, genuinely try to help each other. Many joined for the vision and the technology, which definitely has potential. But due to the management style of certain individuals, it can get tough.
Work-Life-Balance
Mixed, depends on the team/responsibilities.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Middle management (and above) is often clueless and inexperienced, filling people’s calendars with useless meetings and then wondering why a good‑looking PowerPoint presentation doesn’t solve the actual problem. Power struggles are happening constantly, and far too many projects are running in parallel. It’s all about being seen by the higher‑ups and hiding the real issues.
Interessante Aufgaben
The technology has potential, but there are still many problems to solve. The tasks can be very interesting. However, there is often a lack of understanding of the necessary groundwork and the need for clearly defined work processes. Ten people sit in a meeting room discussing what needs to be done, but then there aren’t enough resources to actually carry out the work.
Gleichberechtigung
HR claims to be progressive, but behind closed doors they engage in some questionable practices.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Better ask them… oh wait ... they’re all gone.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Could be better, luckly there is home office
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Still a long road to go...
Gehalt/Benefits
Was alright
Image
A couple of years ago, the company had a good image, and there were definitely reasons for that. The goal and vision are still the same, or at least very similar to what they used to be, but the glory start‑up period is over. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but the transition has been rough.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
nope...There were a lot of promises made, but well… that’s generally an issue in Switzerland.
