Would not recommend to a friend
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Repeated rounds of layoffs and subsequent restructuring left employees without clear direction
Kommunikation
C Level tends to communicate that everything is great, even if this is obviously not the case, e.g. weeks before layoffs.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Generally supportive among colleagues. Obviously high fluctuation impacts dynamics.
Work-Life-Balance
Very stressful periods when management over promised to get a project in the first place.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
See communication
Interessante Aufgaben
Depends on the project
Gleichberechtigung
No negative observations
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Generally young on average. Nothing negative to report
Arbeitsbedingungen
You get deadlines and time budgets dictated by projects. Usually these conditions are negotiated by non-technical people and hence are unrealistic. Very old school waterfall.
Gehalt/Benefits
Not top tier, decent for a scale up
Image
Still benefits from being embedded in the Schwarz ecosystem.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Lacks stability. Hence hard to think long term. Training time and budget were allocated.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Arbeitgeber-Kommentar
Dear former colleague,
Thank you for your honest and balanced feedback.
We’re sorry the restructuring period in 2024 left you without the clarity and stability you needed. Hearing that our communication stayed positive while the reality was difficult is a fair criticism. Since then we’ve been working to sharpen our business model and our internalAI strategy so our team has a clearer direction. We know that’s an ongoing effort, and we’ve also introduced new formats for transparent company communication, including regular updates on our financials.
We take your points on project expectations and time budgets seriously; delivery pressure like that is a real strain on teams. We’re also glad that the support among colleagues held up through a hard time.
We’d welcome a direct conversation if you’re ever open to it.
Best,
Juliane
