Negative Trend
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Canteen, location, colleagues, social & health programs, equipment, training offers, salary.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Poor failure culture, artificial HR processes without real impact, steep hierarchies, partially arrogant and self-satisfied behaviour of Sr. Managers, inconsequent decision making, ignoring organizational overload over years, silo problem not addressed. Top Management not taking ownership, strategic wrong decisions. Lack of transparent, honest communication to the workforce.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Reduce organizational overload by start really making decisions. Reduce irrelevant HR programs and trainings. Address steep hierarchy problem and silo problem.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Between colleagues very good, overall rather negative and declining as business results aren´t good and there is nervousity increasing combined with lack of clear management decisisons and communication while load of the organization increases.
Image
Still very good, trusted company and brands.
Work-Life-Balance
Very bad, many areas of the organization are overloaded and work gets even more. The answer of the company is, each one needs to work on own resilience as if the company would not be responsible for the workload. Meaning if you struggle you are rather send to a resilience training that get more resources or less workload.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Many trainings and growth chances offered, but real career depends strongly on management lobby / perception, self-marketing is what counts most.
Gehalt/Benefits
Overall good, but due to business results in future likely less.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Very good, large parts of the organization have an intrinsic motivation to improve but due to business results this topic is not central anymore.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
In principle very good but gettig rougher due to complete overload of the organization and resulting conflicts.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Older colleagues are the minority. They are rather perceived as cost burden and ideally sent to early retirement. Mgt. doesn't think about the drain, though it shows in many areas where gradually instutional knowledge diminishes and thinks break apart.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Depending on the area and manager but overall getting worse. Many only try to get themself covered. In case of failures blaming starts to cover themselfs first instead of their people. Teams are challenged over and over again so that they partially invest more time to justify and get or protect resources then doing their original work. As well recognition is very selective and unproportional to risk, size and complexity of topics, this leads to people hesitating to take risks and everone rather double- and triple aligns.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Very good, except bureaucracy in IT, canteen capacity.
Kommunikation
Depending on the area and managers. Experienced communication is very limited, relevant information are not passed. Steep hierarchies. In townhalls everything is presented as great, while the observed and felt reality on worklevel is very different.
Gleichberechtigung
Good for females.
Interessante Aufgaben
Very interesting tasks are still available but due to overload and bad mood hard to enjoy.
