Potential that is squandered through wrong decisions
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The option to work from abroad full time. Remote and office work are both allowed.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The management is not really respecting their team members. If someone is not liked they immediately lose all their power and every mistake will be noted to find a way of how to get rid of them later.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Setup a clear and concise communication with your employees. Upper management needs to stop creating "secrets" by talking bad about other people behind their backs.
Invest in your people and give them a feeling of being taken seriously rather than seen as a ressource.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Managers bring up the importance of turnover in almost every meeting. Targets for individuals are usually not clear or are not properly recorded.
Kommunikation
Non-transparent all-hands meetings in which a new company structure is presented at short notice that nobody has understood. Clear mission and implementation goals as well as the idea of where the company should go are not mentioned.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
You can get lucky and find colleagues who will genuinely help and support you. Others are more egocentric and egoistic. Playing "busy" and unreachable.
Work-Life-Balance
You will get 25 holidays of which two weeks at the end of december are mandatory. Bringing you down to around 20 holidays. You are not allowed to take holidays into the next year, but you won't have time to take them anyways.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Completely intransparent decision making. The lack of vision and transparency from the management is a main factor why some people are unhappy. If work or projects are not completed, expect to get angry comments on that. If it's your fault or not does not play a role.
Interessante Aufgaben
If you are lucky you can definitely work on interesting tasks / projects. But if not, you will be forced to write articles for the website and LinkedIn page.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Not many people above 50+ working at the company.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The office does have an internet connection. It will cut off multiple times per day. Inside the office it is loud due to too many people sitting in small rooms and people are shouting into the phones. There is only one toilet.
Gehalt/Benefits
You can get paid very well if you are able to negotiate.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
If you fight for your certifications/courses you can get one.
