Just stay out, only good if you need a safety and don't care about progression
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
If you're lucky, you get a good team, with a nice lead and you pump good work that will bring improvements too company.
But if you're touching other teams/leads interests, things mysterious get decided without proper communication that leads to vaccums of information and only rumors.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Superiors making decisions without having the necessary background of skills or any knowledge of what they are deciding is quite common.
Waiting 6months+ without work is not unusual, the constant politics is a real mental drain
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Eventually it will click that Tech Lead Roles shouldn't be done by non tech background people.
Hopefully nothing serious will happen until then
Arbeitsatmosphäre
An outdated concept of openspace, that only serves to increase internal competition on a bad way.
Teams are (re)built and seats are taken before any idea what the goals are.
Praise only comes for the purpose of making you endure receiving no progression.

Employees/Managers openly badmouth the company and its leaders and its decisions even in public transportation
Work-Life-Balance
Depending on Team, most cases really low actual work hours but 60% in office is the critical part, even if no work assigned or all other participants are in other countries.
60% is measured by punching the card, I know many who go in, stay an hour and leave even high in hierarchy.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Null...
Internal job offers are placed as pure legal requirement, most cases the promoted is allready in role before the position is even advertised
Gehalt/Benefits
What you start is what you get for minimum 2 years complete, no improvement unless your lead hard fights and often doesn't even cover inflation
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
In Winter its over heated, in Summer it gets chilly in campus
No bike leasing programs, massive parking lot to encourage car driving.
Canteen for the last 12 months has been steadily decreasing quality and increasing prices, half the meals are mush these days
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Some Team Leads are good shields, some demand all to be yes man
There is in many, no spirit, only how can my team 'survive' and who i need to bootlick to progress cause skills don't matter.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Older colleagues exist, new comers are also not allways younger colleagues, critical factor is being yes man
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Impossible to generalize, but if you're unlucky you're dealing with people shouting in your face or if you're lucky just being ignored.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Standard laptop for everyone, from Tech to non Tech, Tech's wait weeks if not months to have minimum work conditions and sometimes its allways adapting.
Kommunikation
Plenty of meetings where participants can post QA but (constructive) negative feedback gets auto ignored
Gleichberechtigung
There are processes and intentions and partial at least signs where Gender does not correlate to career progressions, sadly, skills also don't matter
Interessante Aufgaben
From team to team it changes, copy paste between excels is a valid task for many
