Many layoffs, notices with no legal ground, double standards, no social plan applied, false promises, avoid if you can
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Home office. The work itself.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Abuse of power by the Management. Notices without legal ground. Mobbing. Only there for the clients, while oppressing, mobbing and threatening own staff. HR is only there to support the management. Work Council does not help, they just help themselves, they do some non billable, usually part time jobs to serve themselves and the management. Many layoffs all the time, at the same time hiring new staff. No one cares for employees when the next layoff hits, at at same time, newcomers are given the open positions.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
New management. No matter how hard the employees are working, with the wrong management, the company does not develop. Reductions only for the many people on non profitable jobs (non billable, with unclear value for the working bees).
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Fear, due to the constant layoffs. At ICON Strategic Solutions, it is really bad, with mobbing and abuse from the clients' employees, no support from Icon's manager who is there for the client only, no proper onboarding or training, extreme pressure. A lot of abuse of power.

Notices with no legal ground. Very client friendly, while oppressing and mobbing own staff. Due to the many layoffs and lies to employees, as well as the lack of respect- not good.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
No such. The work conditions do not improve, there can be cuts at any time and usually the cuts are from the working bees who produce the honey. Once the work is done, the client usually says "Good bye" in a (not) nice way and the CRO let's people go while hiring newcomers for other clients and new projects. Expect the unexpected and no respect, while at the same time the management expects you to go the extra mile and to keep smiling to the clients, even when they immediately start letting people go, when the work is done.
Gehalt/Benefits
Changes are possible at any time, but in a negative way.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
It was OK, but due to the many layoffs, everything changed. Elbow mentality, some colleagues are reporting "mistakes" of their colleagues to the management, micromanagung their colleagues and blaming their colleagues behind their back.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Long time employees treated much better and are privileged. The new employees work very hard, take on the most difficult projects and clients and are expected to deliver double to compensate for the rest of the team who are very often absent. New employees are often not supported, rather than controlled and blamed behind their back by the longer term employees, who see them as competition.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Only there to serve the clients, while scaring own staff. Abuse of power. Favoritites. Lies. Nurturing a blaming culture."Rewards" with notices, with no legal ground.
Kommunikation
No transparency, layoffs and lies, demonstrations of power to keep the employees small and scared.
Gleichberechtigung
Not even close. Favoritism. The blaming mentality.
