Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Great colleagues and many possibilities to meet them. International environment to practice your language skills. Bosses have open doors and ideas are welcome. We just had a health day in the company which was great

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Even more transparency, we want the same as you, better results and improvements in our products
1 day more home office if needed (not always) would be great.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Colleagues are great and there are a lot of opportunities to meet

Image

Unfortunately the branch doesn't have best reputation, but we are the ones with the best reputation within the branch

Work-Life-Balance

It has improved a lot since the pandemic

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Not always possible as it is a small company, but there are space to grow, specially if you have ideas

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Bosses are good and management is looking to improve things, but still sometime mistrust home office flexibility

Kommunikation

Some time information comes a bit delayed, but there is an effort to be transparent

Interessante Aufgaben

We would need to improve our products to be more competitive

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Türen zu den Vorgesetzten sind immer offen. Direkte Kommunikation jederzeit möglich.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Internationale Athmosphäre, freundlich und entspannt

Work-Life-Balance

In der Regel keine großen Überstunden, kein Zeit-Messsystem, flexible Arbeitszeiten.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Ich war ein "älterer Kollege" und fühlte mich immer sehr wohl!

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Insgesamt sehr gut. Wird natürlich sehr individuell beurteilt. Keine Klagen meinerseits!

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

ski trip (except with corona of course), christmas party.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Very old fashioned, tries to be modern but since management doesn't change, they always fall back to the old ways. They have waves of people leaving every year. Another is coming soon. Last time it was up to 50 people leaving or being fired because they didn't like them.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Open your eyes. See what is wrong with your company.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Not much of an atmosphere with Corona anymore. Not their fault though! Before that it depends. Between colleagues great. Bosses not great.

Image

leadgen. never a good image.

Work-Life-Balance

Some people can come and go when they want. Others are told when to come and go.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

No chance to grow. People in higher positions are too comfortable and will not move, even if they are bad, management doesn't see it. That's why not just me but others will leave soon.

Gehalt/Benefits

Promises but in the end often you don't get the bonus they told you would get.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Worst. I had five better jobs and five better bosses.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Not good.

Kommunikation

I can just agree to the 1000 people before who said it: Communication was not there or a lie

Wie kann dich dein Arbeitgeber im Umgang mit der Corona-Situation noch besser unterstützen?

they can not

Arbeitsatmosphäre

I have worked in several jobs already, big companies and start-ups and nowhere we had atmosphere like this. Lies from management, secrecy and control, control, control.

Image

this company has a bad image, in Germany and in other countries with clients, the public and agencies.

Work-Life-Balance

Not so much work to do or stupid tasks given from the management

Karriere/Weiterbildung

stuck

Gehalt/Benefits

They tell you that everything is possible. then you overachieve targets and your "raise" doesn't even cover inflation.
Do not come here because of promises. Be sure you have what you want in your contract.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

i heard they donate, but I don't know if this isn't another lie.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

I don't know about that, I am not old

Vorgesetztenverhalten

they are the reason I am leaving.

Arbeitsbedingungen

pretty dirty, the floor is disgusting at some places and the people in office management don't do anything even if you ask. elevators are very often broken. good luck walking up to the 4 floor

Kommunikation

Very bad or not even existent

Gleichberechtigung

we have people of sexes, nationalities, sex-orientation - this part is good.

Interessante Aufgaben

not so much. in the beginning is interesting, after is very much the same

Wofür möchtest du deinen Arbeitgeber im Umgang mit der Corona-Situation loben?

see above

Was macht dein Arbeitgeber im Umgang mit der Corona-Situation nicht gut?

dont know about that

Wie kann dich dein Arbeitgeber im Umgang mit der Corona-Situation noch besser unterstützen?

I don't know about that, I left a long while ago but from what I have heard from former colleagues, they treat it good.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

There were times where things were fine but ususally management quickly found a way to "handle" that. Within the teams the atmosphere is mostly good but you don't want to know how it is with management.

Image

public dislikes this company, which is connected to planet49 (before renaming it because of the bad image). Googling it will make you question whether you want to really work here.

Work-Life-Balance

I don't know if management doesn't realize or don't care but nobody there is really working hard. I saw so many people just playing table tennis or kicker, drinking coffee, chatting most of the day. Good if you just want money for not doing anything.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

most middle management people are stuck at their positions so there is no way up in marketing as well as sales. they gave fake positions to a few people to make them happy with titles but other than that no real way up.

Gehalt/Benefits

you can make good money in leadgeneration because it is a shady business and the euros just come in without a lot of work once you have it up and running.
but for what they make and what they give, they are actually more greedy. a lot of people left for competitors who understood that employees should be paid decently.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

no idea about that.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

some guys are quite old. i guess they have a good life there and are treated well.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

2 Stars because some of the middle management country manager guys are cool. top management has serious issues. nobody understands why the party in charge hasn't done anything yet...

Arbeitsbedingungen

ok. not hightech fancy but they finally changed some old laptops. not willing to use standing-desks though for people with back problems

Kommunikation

Horrible communication towards the employees, from what you got from middlemanagement even they were not given proper answers or explanations for weird decisions made by top management.

Gleichberechtigung

very multicultural, open minded.

Interessante Aufgaben

repetitive.

Wofür möchtest du deinen Arbeitgeber im Umgang mit der Corona-Situation loben?

Das Wohlergehen der Mitarbeiter stand an erster Stelle, habe ich mir sagen lassen von Leuten die dort arbeiten.

Wie kann dich dein Arbeitgeber im Umgang mit der Corona-Situation noch besser unterstützen?

Das Unternehmen hat super schnell reagier um seine Mitarbeiter zu unterstützen habe ich gehört, aber genau so menschlich habe ich sie auch in Erinnerung

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Das Team ist großartig und sehr hilfsbereit! Ein internationales Team mit dem gewissen Flair!

Work-Life-Balance

Durch die flexible Arbeitszeit hat man absolut das Gleichgewicht zwischen Arbeit und Privatleben

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Schwer zusagen da es sich um ein super junges Team handelt.. aber die Oldies waren klasse und absolut jung geblieben im Kopf.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Die Vorgesetzten sind freundlich und haben ein offenen Ohr für einen.

Kommunikation

Ich war in einem Team in dem offen und transparent kommunizieret worden ist. Ich habe es sehr geschätzt.

Gleichberechtigung

Absolut gegeben

Interessante Aufgaben

Da es sich hier um ein Urgestein in der Branche handelt, sind die Aufgaben immer interessant und spannend. Das Unternehmen schaut immer in die Zukunft.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

I think it is a comfortable place to come to work to. The people are nice. The environment, before it was polluted by all these unhappy people who only spread negativity, was perfectly fine! Easy going.
Some employees, now ex-employees, have made it really uncomfortable for the ones who are staying by spreading bad words because of personal issues. It's not respectful vis a vis your colleagues.
I think it is good to let some of this "pollution" leave the company. Time to refresh the atmosphere and spice up the spirits! I've seen this wave of people coming and going before, it can only do the company good.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Could fight a little bit more to keep valuable people instead of letting them all go. A few hundred to give a raise to a few people that work hard wouldn't kill the firm and secure their position here.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

If you listen to the general opinion, seems the latest computers, monitors or phones are an important aspect of peoples everyday life at work. In the end, none of it matters. What the company needs is for management to have a little bit more of a modern and flexible thinking when it comes to employees. They are asking for time. They are asking for transparency and they are looking to be more involved.
In terms of employees: I cannot say everybody deserves the position they have. Some decisions have been made to let people go. Perhaps more time to reflect on the current employee status wouldn't harm.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Could be improved. Was recently polluted by negative people.

Image

Well, the business model itself is hardly understood and can seem dodgy. But reality is: this is everywhere in your everyday life. At least we do it in a legal way!

Work-Life-Balance

Just fine. Hours are flexible so you can adapt to your personal life.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Being a very flat hierarchy place, you get stuck. but then again, it's a small company you can't expect much. If you want more: leave! With a competitor: you'll always have the same issue in this niche sector we work in: companies are never big. We are among the larger ones! Go to an agency, change jobs!

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Nothing special is done here.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Nothing special.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Managing Directors: OK. always can be better.
Some managers are really disrespectful though. Or perhaps, too comfortable?

Arbeitsbedingungen

Moved offices 2 years ago. Clean, bright and comfortable. Open space: matter of taste but you can get used to it.

Kommunikation

This is certainly not one of eGENTIC's management strengths! But, lets work on it.

Gleichberechtigung

Flat hierarchy. Open doors. Equal rights.

Interessante Aufgaben

It all depends on your motivation. If you want things to work, you must give it time and focus and it is interesting. If you are not motivated, then of course, the daily tasks you can't avoid are boring and repetitive.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

• International environment
• possibility to work part time
• Close to Frankfurt
• Company car (country managers) and mobile phones
• Retention program (possibility to visit one of 2 subsidiaries in Brasil or Singapur after 4 years)
• Free beverages, fruits, nice “Kuschelecke” with table tennis and Kicker
• Company events
• Supporting employees activities outside of work

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

• Negative atmosphere
• Leadership style without focus on people as valuable resource
• No sustainable thinking and employee retention – you let talents and loyal employees just go, giving a feeling that everyone is replaceable. “Go if you don’t like it”. Employees join the company and leave managers
• No education strategy, no opportunity to develop one’s career

Verbesserungsvorschläge

• Improve your communication, especially on the sales management level
• Work on your Employer Branding
• Do not talk about former employees in a negative way, especially if they had been committed and successful employees for many years.
• Listen to your employees, take their suggestions seriously. People management is not made by excel sheets.
• Build a real education strategy to promote and develop your talents
• Demonstrate good problem solving - do not only expect from your employees to give an answer to a problem. Help, support and try to solve it together, brainstorm ways to fix it, don’t be only observer.
• Take responsibility for the outcome of your decisions

Arbeitsatmosphäre

I’ve been working here for many years now and I can’t believe how fast you can make out of a great international company a „bad“ place to work . Many of our ex-colleagues complain below, sometimes using unacceptable wording, but it definitely shows that something is going wrong and they use this platform to let out their frustration.
There used to be a great workplace atmosphere, but it has changed negatively within the last months. You wanted to motivate people to increase sale, do better job, face the challenge, call instead skype chatting etc., change their thinking, hire new talents, get fresh and innovative thinking.
Result: Good goals, bad execution. Employees are being treated like pupils, not being listened, more control of what we do/who we call/how long. New Talents may appear, but you also hire managers who have nothing in common with real leadership. Nothing can hurt morale of your employees more than feeling like they’re supporting a poor team member.
I wouldn’t say this is the worst place to work, it’s not true. If you have asked me 2 y. ago how am I doing here? I would have said “great”!Unfortunately, unhealthy and incapable management led to toxic atmosphere now.

Image

Among internet users – very bad due to business we run (lead generation)
Among customers – still one of the top lead generation companies
In the industry: bad news regarding toxic environment spreads quickly and the image has worsened recently. The competition uses the chance to get people on board.
Among employees: depending on individual experience - from very good to very bad

Work-Life-Balance

No pressure to make over hours, work non-stop and through the weekends. You can get your vacation approved without any problem. Possibility to work part time is an advantage.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

No education strategy, no opportunity to develop one’s career. The only possibility to climb the career ladder is to be a country manager. The company structure is flat.

Gehalt/Benefits

Industry average plus bonus on an individual basis. No real salary increase reflecting inflation. If you have achieved additional (unrealistic) turnover goals, you may ask for salary increase in two years at the earliest.

Social benefits: company cars and underground car park (country managers only), the rest of employess can use a parking spot outside the building; mobile phones, free beverages and fruits.

No more benefits to distinguish the company from competition like jobtickets, sport facilities, staff canteen, possibility to take home office – not only 4-6 days per year (mondays and fridays generally not allowed), but depending on individual situation (long distance to work, family reasons).

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

As far as I know eGENTIC support children with cancer by donating money every year for Christmas. There used to be more interesting social initiatives in the past. In case of environment - waste sorting would be nice.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Not so many of them, but they feel certainly well here

Vorgesetztenverhalten

It would be great to be involved in decision making, setting new strategy. Many decisions are not clear or understandable.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Computers are not the newest ones - but good enough to work on. Company phone, one tablet per team for business trips. Open-space with air conditioning, new office since 2017. Well equipped kitchen, there’s a nice lunch room. Uncomfortable office chairs.

Kommunikation

Many things are told on the country manager level, less communication on the sales manager level. It creates an atmosphere of having secrets. If you smoke you might learn more, as there is no better place to exchange news as in the front of the building smoking.

Gleichberechtigung

Everyone has equal rights.

Interessante Aufgaben

It is all about sales - not always easy since the company deals with personal data, it can be challenging..Products do not really change throughout the years. In case of any development it turns out in test campaigns, it doesn’t work as it should... New ideas/innovation are always welcome.
