A flourishing, vibrant company and culture destroyed
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The atmosphere used to be great however after a bunch of layoffs in 2024, the culture is gone. There is an eery atmosphere in the office with employees seeming like they're merely existing there collecting a paycheck
Kommunikation
Has always been a challenge for this company. Solutions are created due to request and even after they have been in effect for months, it seems like half the company doesn't even know about it.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
I find that colleagues individually are really happy and excited to work together, yet teams are silo'd which creates an 'us vs them' culture. Has become even more apparent after layoffs.
Work-Life-Balance
The only place where I could say 5/5, as this was one of the best things working here. They respect your work-related wellbeing and allow fulltime remote work for most positions
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Terrible, especially upper management. Through every difficulty the only people effected were employees. Two rounds of layoffs saw absolutely no changes to those in management unless the individual left themselves. Directors preach of successes and outcomes even after the worst year of the company. Basic questions given to directors during sessions are given incredibly long non-answers which answer pretty much nothing, almost in attempt to avoid the question entirely. During layoff periods majority of the directors seemed to be talking about how well things are going and promises of brighter futures with no real sound of compassion. I only detected some kind of sadness from one director during these periods, the rest seemed very unphased by the fact they had to lay off really good employees.
Interessante Aufgaben
so-so, I've worked on some really cool stuff but I must say it is also disappointing as a lot I have worked on seems to be redundant due to so many changes within the company.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Great office, great devices and the working space is very modern.

From what I hear from most people here, nobody even knows what the strategy of the company is, nor the message or purpose. This seems like something AAI has floundered around with for a very long time now.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Used to be good but due to the large budget cuts it seems like a lot of the further education has been shelved or cancelled entirely.
