Especially at the Siegen site, I repeatedly experienced comments about international and non-German employees that I found highly concerning. In particular, comments were made about Indian colleagues along the lines of: “We already have enough of them; we don’t need more.”
I also witnessed inappropriate remarks directed at a Black colleague from the HR team. Even people in management positions made comments presented as “jokes,” such as “Smile, otherwise I can’t see you” or “Turn the light on so I can see you.”
In the Supply Chain area, I also heard statements that the company needed “real German employees” rather than more people from abroad who supposedly “don’t know how to work properly.”
What makes this particularly disappointing is the gap between the external image and what I experienced internally. The company publicly presents itself as an international organization with employees from around 30 different nationalities. That diversity certainly exists on paper. However, particularly at the Siegen site, my experience was that international colleagues were not always met with the same openness and respect that the company’s external image suggests.
For an international deep-tech company that depends on attracting highly qualified people from around the world, this is a serious cultural issue. Diversity should be more than a number used in employer branding. It has to be reflected in everyday behavior, leadership and the way colleagues actually treat each other. Competence, performance and collaboration should matter — not someone’s passport, nationality or background.
The company structure is honestly very frustrating. Nobody really seems to know who is responsible for what, and decisions can change depending on who you speak to. Something can be agreed today and questioned again tomorrow.
There are too many discussions, too much internal politics and not enough clear decisions. Management gets involved in small operational topics while important bigger issues remain unresolved. Sometimes it feels like everyone is running in different directions.
The culture is also very different from how the company presents itself externally. From the outside it looks modern, international and open. Inside, especially in Siegen, it can feel very different. There are good people and good colleagues, but also clear groups, different treatment of people and a lot of frustration.
The biggest problem for me is that the company has grown, but the way it is managed has not grown with it. It still often feels like a small research organisation trying to operate as a much bigger company.
There is a lot of potential here, but everyday work is made much harder than it needs to be because of unclear structures, changing decisions and the way people are managed.
Salary is good for the work what we do. Also no one cares if you work only 3h or 8h as the management has no idea how to lead by example.
The working environment in Siegen feels neglected. A lot of the office furniture is old and was apparently bought second-hand from companies that closed down. At the same time, C-level offices have modern height-adjustable desks, while many employees work with old desks and chairs. It creates a strange impression about priorities.
Even basic things are an issue. The coffee machine has been broken for weeks. At one point the CEO decided to lock the kitchen because it was not clean enough. Employees could no longer simply use the kitchen to eat or get a drink and had to ask him personally for the key. For me, this felt more like a power trip than a reasonable solution to a cleanliness problem.
Overall, the offices have very little atmosphere or attention to detail. For a company presenting itself as a modern, well-funded deep-tech company, the actual working environment feels surprisingly basic and without much care for the people working there every day.
Multicultural, just-outgrown-startup with a sort of "Big Bang Theory nerdiness". I felt immediately at home with the people.
Trying to be and do everything everywhere all at once.
The atmosphere has changed as the company has grown, naturally becoming more impersonal. There are currently positive and negative aspects, which I feel balance out to neutral at the moment.
Working hours are highly flexible, which is a significant advantage when it comes to arranging personal appointments or commuting via public transportation.
Unfortunately, I have repeatedly experienced peaks of activity where everything comes together all at once and I have no choice but to work beyond regular hours in order to meet expectations and deadlines. At the same time, I believe those peaks would be avoidable with some organizational changes.
When I first started working here several years ago, everyone was close, and we regularly did things outside of work together as friends. The company has been growing rapidly, so now I do not know all my colleagues personally. Most people are kind, polite and helpful though, with only few exceptions.
I have rarely encountered senior leaders who are as kind, humorous, and approachable as those in this organization. They create an atmosphere in which I have always felt at ease and able to speak my mind.
Looking ahead, one of the key challenges may be avoiding the feeling Bilbo Baggins described of being stretched thin, "like butter scraped over too much bread". As the organization grows and new demands emerge, maintaining focus and ensuring that time and energy are not spread across too many competing priorities will be important for sustaining both effectiveness and employee well-being.
Senior management makes regular efforts to communicate important updates on a company-wide scale. I love the fact that communication happens in an informal, friendly way. However, management's decision-making style is quick and often spontaneous, which can generate challenges.
I do appreciate the very unbeaurocratic way of doing things.
Generally, the field of quantum computing is one of the most interesting ones out there. Personally, my tasks are often repetitive and not very engaging. But this is not the norm in the company.
Kostenlose Snacks und Getränke. Aber wertlos bei der Arbeitsatmosphäre.
Du wirst nicht als Mensch gesehen, sondern nur als Arbeitskraft.
Vorgesetzte mit gutem Sozialverhalten einstellen, die das Team motivieren und nicht demotivieren und als Arbeiter dritter Klasse behandeln.
Sehr schlecht! Es wird psychischer Druck auf die Mitarbeiter von Vorgesetzten ausgeübt und man wird nicht gut behandelt.
Die meisten Kollegen sind unzufrieden. Keiner redet gut über die Firma. Das liegt meistens am Verhalten des Vorgesetzten.
Flexible Arbeitszeiten stehen nur im Vertrag. In der Realität gibt es sie nicht.
Gibt es nicht.
Man bekommt nicht das Gehalt, welches im Bewerbungsprozess vereinbart wurde, sondern 15-20 % weniger.
Durchschnittlich
Vom Vorgesetzten abgesehen, ist es sehr gut dort.
Hire and Fire, Great Resignation
Katastrophal
Keine ergonomisch gerechten Büromöbel. Sie sind auch größtenteils alt und kaputt. Keine höhenverstellbarer Schreibtische.
Ist soweit ok.
Leider nicht vorhanden.
Sehr interessantes Thema.
* The entire hiring process was clearly explained and well-structured, with strong support from the TA team throughout the recruitment process.
* Smooth onboarding experience with good guidance and support from the HR team.
* Very supportive teammates and approachable team leads.
* Overall work culture is positive, collaborative, and relaxed.
* In my case, the hiring process took a bit longer (around 2 months), possibly due to the Christmas break period, which extended the timeline.
positive, collaborative, and relaxed.
verz supportive team
approachable team leads
Spannende Technologie, interessante Projekte und ein internationales Team mit hilfsbereiten Kolleginnen und Kollegen.
Teilweise noch nicht vollständig ausgebaute Prozesse, was bei einem wachsenden Technologieunternehmen jedoch nachvollziehbar ist.
Mit dem Wachstum des Unternehmens könnten Prozesse und Verantwortlichkeiten noch klarer definiert werden
Für ein Start-up insgesamt gut, mit flexiblen Arbeitszeiten. In intensiven Projektphasen kann die Arbeitsbelastung jedoch höher sein.
Kommunikation ist insgesamt gut, könnte mit dem weiteren Wachstum des Unternehmens jedoch noch strukturierter werden.
Technisch anspruchsvolle und interessante Aufgaben in einem innovativen High-Tech Umfeld.
Ein Arbeitsplatz für Menschen, die Lust auf Verantwortung, Veränderung und Aufbruch haben – und bereit sind, sich auch auf Unklarheiten einzulassen. Wer das mag, bekommt viel zurück: Sinn, Entwicklung und ein starkes Teamgefühl.
Wer hier arbeitet, merkt schnell: Es geht um Pionierarbeit. eleQtron ist kein Ort für Dienst nach Vorschrift. Das Team ist engagiert, die Ziele groß, die Lernkurve steil. Besonders schön: Man kann Themen wirklich mitgestalten und hat direkten Einfluss auf seinen Bereich.
Das Tempo ist hoch, Strukturen sind noch im Aufbau. Manche Prozesse wirken improvisiert, manchmal fehlt Orientierung. Wer Sicherheit und Routine braucht, könnte damit hadern.
Weiter an Klarheit und Strukturen arbeiten.
Helle Büros, freundliche Kollegen, Kommunikation auf Augenhöhe.
Sehr gut.
Machen wir uns nichts vor - in einem Deep Tech Start-up / Scale-up sind Tempo und Anforderungen hoch. eleQtron ist keine Beamtenstube, in der man den Stift immer zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt fallen lässt. Es gilt Zeitsouveränität. 30 Tage Urlaub und Home-Office-Möglichkeiten runden das Work-Life-Flow-Gefühl ab.
Ausbaufähig aber vorhanden.
Wettbewerbsfähig
In Grundzügen vorhanden, aber vermutlich kein USP ;)
tip top
Auf Augenhöhe, fordernd aber auch mit absolutem Verständnis bei privaten Herausforderungen. Gesundheit und Family first! Auch die Vorgesetzten leben das aktiv vor.
Ausreichend gute Technikausstattung, helle Offices, zT Höhenverstellbare Tische
In so schnell wachsenden Unternehmen mit vielen Menschen mit diversen Backgrounds ist in der Kommunikation erfahrungsgemäß immer Luft nach oben. Gut ist: Wer fragt bekommt Antworten. Und man arbeitet aktiv an einer offenen und transparenten Kommunikation.
Wie in MINT-Feldern üblich, ist der Frauenanteil etwas geringer. Aber es gibt in allen Unternehmensbereichen Frauen, auch in Führungspositionen.
Kann man sich etwas interessanteres vorstellen, als in einem Unternehmen zu arbeiten, das Quantencomputer herstellt?
