Still shiny on the surface with many good aspects, but several structural issues underneath affecting motivation
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Good working conditions overall, fantastic workplace team, decent benefits, very nice office location
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Communication problems together with regular layoffs are reducing trust, transparency, and employee motivation over time.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Company should be more careful when choosing people managers. Not everybody with strong technical skills is ready for managing people. You need to help them reskill. It would also be useful to have regular feedback process to identify gaps and provide them training, or move people back into technical role if this fit better.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Atmosphere with colleagues still good, but because communication often not clear, it makes more difficult for me to trust management and leadership.
Image
Still quite good
Work-Life-Balance
It depends also on employee. If you can keep good boundaries, work-life balance can be okay, but maybe your career growth is becoming slower because of this.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There are many learning resources available, but not enough dedicated time for using them. Career framework very detailed, but managers often have little time to discuss development plans or are not listening to understand how employees want to grow.
Gehalt/Benefits
Slightly above market average with good benefits on top.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Company speaks a good bit about sustainability and there are some good initiatives. But at the same time it working with many customers from oil and gas industry and similar sector. Because sustainability is one of main company values, this can sometimes seem inconsistent.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Usually very good and open collaboration.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Not that many older colleagues, but no issues
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Communication about important topics is often missing. Also, some managers look like they were promoted because of strong technical knowledge, but managing people needs different skills, such as listening. Sometimes they continue focusing mainly on technical work and do not spend enough attention on people in the team. It also difficult because no anonymous way to give feedback about individual managers, so such problems are not easy to identify and remain not noticed.
Kommunikation
Priorities are changing many times and direction is not always clear. Also, restructuring and layoffs happen quite often without proper communication or good explanation. Company has regular all-hands meetings, which is positive, but many important concerns from employees are still not really answered.
Gleichberechtigung
High priority and generally very good.
Interessante Aufgaben
Highly complex and interesting technical environment with many interesting challenges
