Highly toxic work environment, no real recognition
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Home Office, good wages, nice offices
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Everything else
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Stat from scratch. Focus on small competent teams. Brutally tear down all the middle management without any software competence.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
This company is not a place for people who want to make a real impact. Initiative and professional expertise are not supported but actively blocked.
Image
Very bad press, way too enthusiastic and futuristic corporate communications
Work-Life-Balance
Ok, 100% home office is possible
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Online courses are possible
Gehalt/Benefits
Wages are above average and the main reason why people still stay next to the home office possibilities
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
None is visible, not even glass or plastic waste recycling. Just really thin toilet paper for whatever reason
Kollegenzusammenhalt
On the same level: quite good. Very level above: highly top-down power play
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
management is also mainly in their 50ies, age is not a problem
Vorgesetztenverhalten
The overall atmosphere is characterized by fear, opportunism, and lack of leadership.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Those who try to deliver real value risk burnout or marginalization. Following major layoffs, burnout cases are unfortunately common.
Kommunikation
Effort and results are often stalled by endless reporting cycles, meaningless meetings, and office politics.
Gleichberechtigung
Like in the whole automotive industry, male dominant structures, top down communication and decision paths.
Interessante Aufgaben
Theoretically interesting. But real innovation is blocked by way too many decision layers, clumsy processes, and way too many incompetent POs and managers.
