It used to be fun to work for Holcim but the office climate is now quite often very tense and guarded due to the management's obvious distrust in their employees

Could be a lot better

See above topic on "Arbeitsatmosphäre"

There is a lot of talk about the importance of work-life-balance but in reality it is not true, or only for those employees who have he management's trust. There seem to be different rules for different people within the various offices

There are a lot of uninspiring, not to say mean managers at Holcim. Unfortunately the people who get promoted to managing positions (at every level) are not always the best qualified to lead people. They might be good in their areas of experience but are mostly unfit to lead people. A good manager inspires his/her team to do their best work for the company. Managers these days tend to loose themselves in micromanaging their positions, i.e. instead of letting people get on with their work they try to control every little aspect of the jobs that need to be done and so create an area of mistrust and demotivation.

The work is challenging and great if one can go ahead and simply do it
