Technically interesting company, but you need a thick skin and nerves of steel.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
It is a very interesting niche, offering deep insight into the technical world, and the work is highly varied and engaging.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Poor organization, communication, and leadership are the main issues.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
A fundamental turnaround is required to put the organization back on the right track. This should include reinvestment in infrastructure at the group level, as well as the hiring of additional personnel to create sufficient resources. Furthermore, a clear vision for upcoming projects is essential to provide employees with direction and confidence. A constant “firefighting” mode is not a sustainable expectation for the workforce.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Since the acquisition by United Machining, the working atmosphere has become noticeably tense and characterized by uncertainty. Across nearly all departments, there is a subdued and at times melancholic mood.
Kommunikation
Internal communication is insufficient and lacks transparency. Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in employee turnover. Departures are rarely communicated, or only communicated inadequately. In addition, there is a pronounced tendency toward “quiet quitting.”
Work-Life-Balance
Working hours here are comparable to those in the banking sector. Although the contract specifies a 40-hour workweek, employees typically work between 60 and 80 hours on a regular basis.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
There is a highly toxic work environment, where negative feedback from supervisors is often conveyed indirectly rather than addressed openly. Constructive, face-to-face feedback is largely absent.
Interessante Aufgaben
A very interesting product with a wide range and huge potential.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Working conditions are good, with the possibility of remote work and a considerable degree of autonomy.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
The company’s infrastructure is significantly outdated, and there is a clear shortage of parking spaces. For a high-end manufacturer in this niche, this is rather disappointing and reflects poorly on the organization.

When looking behind the scenes, it becomes clear that not everything is as good as it appears.
