Lack of appreciation and cool corporate culture
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Modern infrastructure and office, home office options, flexible working hours, some very committed and open-minded colleagues
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Non-transparent communication and decision-making, preference for male colleagues with the same qualifications (the one who is loud is seen, regardless of the knowledge and content behind it), unsustainable growth strategy (too fast build-up, where the projects do not keep up, followed by radical cutbacks / cost-cutting measures), managers have so much pressure that they cannot get involved with the employees (this does not bring new projects and no productive hours)
Verbesserungsvorschläge
First of all, focus on a core business, develop and expand it in a targeted manner. Do not try to build up too many other branches if you have not yet gained a foothold there. Too many of these ‘construction sites’ reduce the opportunities for growth and, above all, the company's success that eraneos is striving so hard for.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Unfortunately, this has changed for the worse compared to the past. Open dialogue is no longer practised. Employees do not feel that they are treated equally and this has a very negative impact on the working atmosphere. The atmosphere has become very distant and unfortunately not at all respectful. Working is only enjoyable in the right team with the right people.
Image
Unfortunately, the image of some customers has also gone downhill. Too many inexperienced employees are left alone on projects and have no time to settle in. This in turn leads to poorer results and a much worse image.
Work-Life-Balance
Home office and flexible working hours are possible, which is good. However, little consideration is given to other commitments. The only thing that counts is productivity and you can't always influence this yourself. Although this responsibility has now also been shifted to the individual employees. Very questionable.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Theoretically, of course, there are opportunities for further training both internally and externally. In practice, these always come at the expense of an employee's productivity. However, this is relevant in order to be promoted at all. However, of course, only for those who make this very widely known. External further training has been authorised very little, if at all, in recent times.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
People support each other within projects. However, this is no longer carried into the entire company. Cohesion should be exemplified by top management. However, a lack of transparency creates an atmosphere of mistrust.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Many older employees have left recently and were also not treated with respect. As a result, a great deal of expertise and practical experience has been lost.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
The behaviour of superiors is unfortunately characterised by a lack of appreciation. Many don't even know how their employees work and only find out in an e-mail shortly before appraisal interviews, mind you from other employees, how they work. Unfortunately, they know little about their employees and their strengths and weaknesses as they don't have the time to deal with them themselves. Their main focus is on sales and productivity. Unfortunately, the employees are left behind in this internal pressure.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The office in Zurich is great, the equipment is basically good. However, the Basel office is now also being closed and there are fewer opportunities. Open-plan offices, quiet zones, meeting rooms and cubicles are available and well equipped.
However, the short-sightedness of the mindset is very thought-provoking. A well thought-out strategy has not yet been communicated by the management. Everything does not seem to have been thought through in terms of long-term sustainability.
Kommunikation
Internal communication does not seem well thought out. Either there is no communication at all or it is hectic and far too late. Important announcements and changes are also communicated so late that it is no longer possible to attend information events because important work meetings have already been scheduled.
Gehalt/Benefits
Below average, especially the pension fund (statutory minimum)
Gleichberechtigung
Equal rights were once talked about, but unfortunately never practised. It is a male-dominated company that unfortunately has a very old-fashioned attitude in this respect. This is exemplified by the management level, where there is now only one female partner left. Dominant men are promoted very quickly, while hard-working employees, especially female employees, receive little attention.
There is also no equality when it comes to salaries. Loud ones get a raise, while those who work hard and deliver good things are ignored. And this despite the fact that they usually deliver better work than those who are loud.
Interessante Aufgaben
Projects generally offer interesting insights into very diverse and important topics. However, you don't always have the opportunity to get a project in your area of interest. This is due to the nature of the consulting industry and project work.
Arbeitgeber-Kommentar
Dear employee,
Thank you for highlighting the positive aspects such as our modern infrastructure, flexible working hours, home office options, and the commitment of some of your colleagues. We truly appreciate that.
We understand your concerns regarding management pressure. It is true that this can sometimes limit the time available for personal exchange. We therefore encourage employees to proactively reach out, initiate changes where needed, or discuss options such as a change of PDL.
Respect is one of our core values, and we are very sorry to hear that you experienced it differently. We would be grateful to better understand in which situations you felt a lack of respect so we can work on this.
We do not share the view that salary increases or promotions depend on who is loudest. Decisions at Eraneos are based on performance and results, independent of gender or personal style. Equal treatment is very important to us and something we continuously strive to uphold.
We believe that further training is not a burden, but an important part of professional enablement. It helps our employees grow and increase their impact within projects.
We take all feedback seriously and are always open to a direct dialogue to better understand and address specific concerns.
Best regards,
Mia
