Great work environment, work-life, balance and relationship between management and the engineering teams.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Nice office spaces and benefits. People usually manage to have a good time and keep a smile while working. Some cool team-building/milestone celebration events.
Work-Life-Balance
All the flexibility one can ask for, as long you are responsible and reasonably fulfil what is expected of you.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
You can relatively easily hit a ceiling if you don't want to move into management positions, however there were on-going efforts to define more career paths.
Gehalt/Benefits
Paid as per IGMetall tables with well defined functions/responsibilities for the different levels.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Due to the nature of the business it can't be very environmentally sustainable, although there is some ongoing work on "sustainable aviation".
In terms of operations, little things like the origins of the coffee that is provided, could be improved.
It does support some social causes with donations of money and goods, including by mobilizing the colleagues.
Not sure if it uses green energy for powering the office and how it handles disposal of trash and goods. It did e.g. incentivize reuse of old laptops by giving them away in exchange of a donation for a social cause.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Managers are very down to earth and approchable.
Senior people are very welcoming, willing to help and open to listen even the most junior colleagues.
Arbeitsbedingungen
All the essentials are provided, not the best in class, but also not outdated.
Kommunikation
Everything from project to big picture company level is communicated openly and clearly.
Interessante Aufgaben
The type of work can become somewhat repetitive and there isn't a lot of technological innovation in most projects, but it's still interesting if you enjoy detailed work in systems that require high-quallity.
