Great company to work for.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The owner is a visionary leader and provides clear direction to the company. A lot of opportunities for career advancement.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Viking should be more eco-friendly (for example do something for the cleanliness of the rivers and oceans) and do good for the society (rather tahn just make money).
Verbesserungsvorschläge
More transparency and faster communication on decisions would help.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The working atmosphere is overall very positive. Viking has a good value based culture.
Image
Nobody knows Viking brand in Europe, only in the US.
Work-Life-Balance
At the end of the day it is up to each individual to keep up a good work-life balance, and everyone can choose to do so.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Staff onboard were provided with a lot of trainings.
Gehalt/Benefits
Competitive salaries and social benefits, best in the industry I think.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
In this aspect, the company has still a long way to improve. We used still single plastic bottles on board, which was ridiculous of course.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
We had a great team on board.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Mostly respectful.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
In general the leadership culture in the company is very positive.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Best hotel company on the rivers/ocean I ever worked for. By far.
Kommunikation
Communication is OK, and it could be better of course, but comparing to other similar companies I have worked for, it is fine. Transparency and speed for decisions is sometimes needed more for sure.
Gleichberechtigung
We had a lot of different nationalities on board and it worked well no issues. Also LGBT was not an issue.
Interessante Aufgaben
High expectations on the onboard management and a lot of diverse work, and for sure it does not get boring.
