Really went down in last couple of years
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Once a year they give out an advent calendar with their own Satisfyer products.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Layoffs, lack of direction, lack of support for employees in education, lack of benefits, unpredictable turns, lack of transparency, poor severance packages
Verbesserungsvorschläge
C-level could be more transparent with the course of the company. Answering emails rule within a 24h window should apply to management too. Bringing up new technologies should come hand in hand with educational programs to support it and not just a ban on using any other normal piece of software. Probably not firing people who worked for several decades would also inspire other employees to work their best.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Working environment among colleagues is fine but not among management vs employees. It could be better if managing would respond to employees requests more actively, giving feedback to common tasks.
Kommunikation
Horizontal communication is fine between colleagues, once again communicating with medium and higher management would need much needed improvement. They make so called monthly business updates where all the employees are invited, however during these meetings they somehow forget to mention massive layoffs that they ran in several large waves in the past year.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Colleagues are sweethearts, all work their best although in ridiculous circumstances.
Work-Life-Balance
On one hand the company doesn’t break the law and employees mostly aren’t contacted on weekends and vacations, on the other hand many new policies have been introduced such as redeeming the entire year’s vacation until January and at many occasions over hours weren’t returned as off time.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
No actual management line here to help in everyday business, but then the decisions that affect you directly are being sent top down - like en mass implementation of AI in each and every aspect, reducing the quality of final product
Interessante Aufgaben
Some of the tasks are interesting, mostly because each and every one has to wear multiple hats
Gleichberechtigung
Could give this one higher score before massive layoffs
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Could give this one higher score before massive layoffs, multiple colleagues who worked for the firm for decades were laid off
Arbeitsbedingungen
Offices look nice but then the hardware is old and barely is up to the task in several departments
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
All the products are being produced in China and then transported across the globe, this leaves a huge carbon footprint that company isn’t on top of letting customers know. But they reduce the packaging so it’s a win-win sort of situation.
Gehalt/Benefits
Salaries are fair but there are no benefits otherwise, no inflation even outs have been done for years
Image
Many people are beyond burnt out, and redundancies don’t help it either.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
All educational programs and courses, apps and accesses to online education have been fully stopped. That with extensive introduction of AI makes it hard for everyone to keep up.
