Absolutely not recommended, despite the great image. A pity.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Great image, important topic.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The culture of using employees for your own benefit, missing out the appreciation part.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Employees along themselves have a great cohesion, between leadership and employees very distrusted relationship. Generally speaking a significant attrition of employees within the last 2-3 years.
Image
Needless to say, fairly positive image from the outside.
Work-Life-Balance
Overtime gets cut off each quarter. Anglo-American work culture where overtime is seen as standard. Vacation may be taken but most employees only take a fraction of their annual entitlement, given the immense workload, which is redistributed towards the other staff if someone is quitting, resulting in a vicious cycle going on for years now.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Almost no way to rise up in the organisation. Does not live up to its own preached standards of fairness and respect towards employees. Most employees feel not valued or appreciated at all.
Gehalt/Benefits
The salary structure and lack of opportunity to receive a raise or promotion is the No. 1 factor for employees being frustrated and leaving. Salary range below market rate with almost no chance to rise up. A lot of employees try and work hard, hoping to be recognised.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Frequent flights across the globe, environmental sustainability is not a topic talked about at all.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Colleagues along themselves are supportive and enjoy working with each other.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Hard to assess, mostly young people work there. In the past 2-4 years the most older colleagues left after being with the company for 10-20 years, as work atmosphere became more negative.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Middle management tries hard but their job is made impossible by upper leadership. The good people leave for greener pastures.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Rather old office and cheap IT equipment, a move to a newer venue is planned though.
Kommunikation
Decisions are either delayed, communicated very late, or not communicated at all. Frequently waiting for feedback despite multiple follow ups. Includes important topics such as extensions of contract, raises, promotions etc. Very intransparent decision making.
Gleichberechtigung
Diversity represented on lower levels with people coming across the globe, however leadership is mostly British or North American, I.e. the higher up the less diverse it gets.
Interessante Aufgaben
One of the most exciting work areas you can find, great topic to work with and for.
