Where motivation goes to die
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
This company is a classic example of how poor leadership can destroy what could have been a promising workplace. The few remaining positives—like trust-based hours and decent equipment—are not enough to make up for the deeper issues. Those who stay do so out of convenience, not loyalty. The company might still function, but it’s running on borrowed time.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
It’s clear that the previous review was likely written by management or someone with close ties to them. It’s disappointing and somewhat embarrassing that such an obvious attempt to shape the company’s image was made, which only highlights the growing gap between what’s being said and what’s actually happening on the ground.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Among the few colleagues who haven’t resigned (yet), the atmosphere is still somewhat positive. The only remaining drive comes from shared frustration rather than shared vision.
Image
External partners are starting to notice that things aren’t quite right. While management continues to ignore the warning signs, the damage to the company’s reputation has already been done within the industry.
Work-Life-Balance
Trust-based working hours are one of the few reasons employees are still holding on.
Gehalt/Benefits
Internal promotions are decided behind closed doors. If you're well-connected, opportunities come your way; if not, you’ll be overlooked. Instead of rewarding long-term employees with well-deserved raises, management attracts new hires with higher salaries than those in existing positions.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Nothing to be excited about. The company offers standard benefits, but they feel disconnected from what employees actually need or want.
The company treats sustainability and social impact as box-ticking rather than real priorities.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
While the company struggles, the office gossip is thriving. The latest missteps of the leadership team provide an endless source of tragic entertainment. The one thing that unites the team is sshared disbelief at how badly things are handled.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Not explicitly negative, but also not actively valued. older staff receive little recognition or opportunity.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Leadership here is defined by a lack of social competence. Proper leadership training might help, but only if management recognizes that they actually need it.
Arbeitsbedingungen
There was a time when there was a budget for fun activities and an engaging office setup which was well organised. That era is long gone. Cost-cutting measures have stripped away anything that once made the workplace enjoyable.
The equipment is modern and functional, and the IT department does an excellent job keeping everything running smoothly.
Kommunikation
Transparency is non-existent. Important information—like salary delays—come at the very last moment, if at all.
Employees have to rely on incomplete information and guesses because management is unclear and avoids taking responsibility.
Gleichberechtigung
It’s still a man’s world here, but strong, intelligent women hold their ground.
The team itself is open-minded and welcoming to everyone.
Culturally, the company is quite diverse, with employees from many different nationalities and backgrounds.
Interessante Aufgaben
If you take the initiative, you can carve out interesting projects for yourself - just as long as they don’t require a budget.
