Micromanagement and culture of fear
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The people working for Alpas are really a highlight. Incredibly smart and supportive.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The communication by management and the way one gets treated is exceptionally bad, in my opinion. I regret not having asked for the fluctuation when I applied, which would be my tip to anyone applying. I am not saying that this company is not suitable to anyone, but I do think you need very thick skin in order to be comfortable working for Alpas.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Among colleagues the atmosphere is very good. However, around management it's a climate of fear and strong discomfort. I've never experienced anything alike.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The team is truly great and the way how everybody supports each other is exceptional. But it seems like the circumstances require the team to keep the support amongst each other high in order to survive - at least it felt like it.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
The worst I have ever experienced. Very high pressure and absolutely unrealistic expectations, no-trust policy and micromanagement. I understand that in a start up, everybody is working under some sort of pressure. But appreciative and respectful communication is key to creating a good atmosphere and good results. However, the way of communication and how one got treated by the management gave me the impression that the fear created was intentionally, since even after the feedback got sent to the management, no change occurred.
Gehalt/Benefits
You definitely don't get paid enough for the price you pay to work there. I experienced work-related health issues while working there, so I guess no price would ever be enough to keep one working there.
