Gehalt in der Führungsreige und Top Level gut bis sehr gut, Rest schlecht, keine Anpassung seit 3 Jahren

The salary is competitive with the market.

Being loyal will cost you.

Hires are at market rate, but one's salary will shrink over time compared to market value and cost of living. Unfairness between new and old team members, because new team members are hired at current market rate.

The salary review process implemented in 2023 is in my view amateur at best, not worthy of a unicorn with 600+ employees.
- no link with your performance review: both happen at separated times. Objective (non-)fullfillment is not objectively taken into account.
- it is not a meeting with the employee himself. It is a recommendation by the employee's manager to the higher hierarchy, which may be followed or not. It is arbitrary at best.
- All increases have been capped at 3% in 2023 - after two years of double digits inflation. It's a political action to say "there was a salary review" rather than actually perform one.
- The communication beforehand about this new process has been amateur at best. All info above discovered afterhand, not beforehand.
- I didn't see any communication about increases in 2024, leaving the impression there will not be any.

Jahrelang keine Gehaltserhöhung bei niemandem.
