What employees don't like

Arbeitsbelastung manchmal sehr hoch (wurde bei der Bewerbung mitgeteilt, ist aber trotzdem manchmal schwierig zu bewältigen).
Keine Transparenz bei den Gehältern.
View review
Lacking transparency when it comes to salary and restricted career progression opportunities.
View review
existence of hierarchy in the company, between faculty and other staff.

Intransparent salary scheme
View review
Sehr hierarchisch insgesamt.
Manchmal auch falsche Vorstellungen über das, was der Arbeitnehmer "zu leisten hätte". Vorgefertigte Erwartung, statt wirklich den Menschen zu sehen...

What else do employees not like?

Suggestions for improvement

1. A clear and transparent salary structure and system for salary increase
2. Streamlining promotion processes and titles: why do some departments have senior titles while others don't? It creates the feeling that some departments are valued higher than others.
View review
pay your employees better/more appropriately/competitively against the market, and create a better environment for more conversations to be had about salary/personal growth/development
View review
Besser ausgestattete Büros mit weniger Personen, Klimaanlagen und ohne Teppiche
View review
Salaries are not competitive for program manager level, compared to other companies. No yearly salary increments guaranteed. No year end bonus either. No career progression for program managers.
View review
Transparency over salaries by departments and seniority as clear indicator and guideline visible for all. No gender pay gap obviously.

Lowest rated: Career/Professional development

2.8

The lowest rated factor of ESMT Berlin is Career/Professional development with 2.8 points (based on 18 reviews).


In my role/department there are no promotions - no senior titles are available which I am not sure why.
On the brighter side, there are plenty of offerings for personal development and soft skills, which I appreciate.

Weiterbildungen werden selten angeboten, man muss Eigeninitiative zeigen und dran bleiben. Karriere kann man machen, die Strukturen sind aber ziemlich fix, man muss schauen wo, wann und wie es passt.

An meinem Arbeitsplatz war im Grunde kein "Aufstieg" möglich.
Es gab aber einige Seminare zur praktischen Weiterbildung.
Das Outlook-Seminar war allerdings extrem schlecht, nicht Teilnehmergerecht, wenig praxisnah :(
