Unhealthy work environment with incredible high pressure
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
A lot of nice and talented colleagues.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Toxic work environment where you have to follow, not speak up and don't have personal boundaries.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Listen to your employees and openly discuss what's not working instead of just focussing on your story of being the most premium sportswear brand ever.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
There is a lot of pressure to perform as the company is trying to keep up with their growth ambitions. Unfortunately this triggers a lot of burn out cases.
Image
Internally the image the are projecting to their consumers has major cracks.
Work-Life-Balance
No respect for personal boundaries. It is kind of expected that you are always available.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
They speak about environmental friendly innovations a lot. In reality there is a lot of air freight due to supply chain issues. Often times they ship their products in huge packages even if its just one pair of socks inside.
There are a lot of in person meetings with team members flying around the globe to attend.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
The phase of fast internal growth opportunities is over with most corporate positions occupied. There is no plan yet how to tackle career development in a mature company stage.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Team spirit was once a big strength of the company but now there is a lot of back stabbing and finger pointing.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
I think colleagues 50y plus don't really exist. At least they are not visible at all.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Most team leaders are not experienced in leading teams through massive structural changes and therefore just try to protect their own career development.
Kommunikation
Leadership is cooking up constantly new strategy changes and structural changes without communicating how these will lead to more efficiency.
Gehalt/Benefits
Salaries are standard and for the right positions above sportswear industry average. But no real benefits like additional retirement programs etc.
Gleichberechtigung
The company loves to show of their modern values but career wise you thrive if you belong to a small circle of people with the right connections to leadership. Minorities are not supported to climb up the corporate ladder.
Interessante Aufgaben
Looking at the company from the outside you would expect highly interesting projects. In reality there are some glamorous projects everyone is looking at but your day to day work is mostly unsatisfying.
