There is a lack of genuine openness and trust. Decisions are concentrated at the very top, so the general atmosphere is
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Modern office, talented colleagues, and potential for great projects — if only the structure allowed people to use their full skills and creativity.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Excessive top-down control, favoritism, and bureaucracy that destroy motivation and innovation. The company’s structure is built around one person’s opinion instead of collective expertise.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Empower managers to make real decisions and create an environment where ideas from all levels are encouraged. Simplify processes and focus on substance, not form. Stop promoting only those who align personally with leadership — reward competence and results instead.
Image
Externally, the company still benefits from a strong brand image, but internally it’s very different. The gap between what is promoted and what employees experience is wide and growing.
Work-Life-Balance
it depends entirely on the team and the direct manager
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Career development is not systematic. There is no transparent growth path — only those close to top management progress. Training and education exist mostly on paper, not in practice.
Gehalt/Benefits
Salaries are average at best, and raises or promotions are rarely based on measurable results. Instead, they depend on whether someone is favored by top leadership. Benefits are standard, not competitive.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
The company likes to talk about sustainability and innovation, but actions rarely match the slogans. Environmental initiatives feel more like marketing than real strategic focus.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
On a personal level, colleagues try to support each other, but the organizational structure makes it difficult. Team spirit exists mostly within smaller groups, not across departments, because everyone is focused on managing unclear expectations from above.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Older or more experienced colleagues are not necessarily respected for their knowledge. In many cases, experience is undervalued compared to conformity and compliance with leadership expectations.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Most managers have little autonomy. Real decisions come from one person at the very top, and everyone else just executes. As a result, managers often seem disconnected or hesitant to take responsibility.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The physical working environment is good, and tools and facilities are generally modern. However, the internal processes are overly bureaucratic, which slows down operations and reduces efficiency.
Kommunikation
Information flows only in one direction — from the top down. Employees are rarely asked for input or feedback, and when they share opinions, it’s often perceived as a problem instead of a contribution.
Gleichberechtigung
Officially the company promotes equality, but in practice advancement depends heavily on personal favor rather than competence. Visibility and alignment with top management matter more than results.
Interessante Aufgaben
The potential for interesting work exists, especially in product development and supply chain topics, but creativity is restricted. Projects are often dictated without room for personal input or professional judgment.
