Serious issues with management and fairness.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The company is easy to reach by train, and parking is available on request. There is also a small meal voucher of CHF 6 per day, although it can only be used at the Golfpark restaurant
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Another issue is the limited feeling of professional development. Employee feedback is not always taken seriously. Management is often afraid t report negative feedback or criticism from employees to the CEO, so important concerns arent communicated at all. This makes employees feel that their opinions are not heard.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
- Improving trust and communication with employees.
- Reducing micromanagement.
- Creating clearer and more transparent rules for salaries, home office and career development.
- Stronger HR knowledge.
- Better communication between Switzerland and Italy.
- More professional approach to employee feedback.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
There are several issues that have a strong impact on the working environment. The company works on interesting and innovative projects. There are some very motivated and competent young people.
Gehalt/Benefits
Salaries are quite low compared to the responsibilities, and there doesn't always seem to be a clear or consistent salary structure between different roles. There can also be a feeling of favouritism especially when it comes to people who have personal or family connections within the company
Arbeitsbedingungen
the management (in Switzerland, in Italy) is often very focused on micromanagement. There is a feeling that employees are not always trusted to do their work independently. Even when employees try to give constructive feedback or suggestions, they are not always well received.
There is also a lot of passive-aggressive communication. When someone is not present, I have experienced situations where this person was discussed negatively instead of speaking directly with them. This makes it difficult to feel comfortable expressing an honest opinion.
There is also a strong focus on saving money. Sometimes this can be seen in decisions regarding the purchase of new equipment or the maintenance of existing equipment.
The secretariat area also seem to have difficulties handling even relatively simple problems which can make everyday work more complicated than necessary.
HR is based in Italy, while employees work in Switzerland. After several years, there still seems to be insufficient knowledge of Swiss employment rules and regulations, this can create problems and uncertainty for employees.
Gleichberechtigung
Home office is officially not allowed, but in practice some employees are allowed to work from home and it is not clear why some people can do this while others cannot, even when they have similar roles or responsibilities. This creates a feeling of unequal treatment and favouritism.
There are also not always clear opportunities for growth or recognition based on responsibilities and performance, but only if they are friends or family!
