Best place to grow
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
I think the number of employees that are skilled and naturally motivated towards work in this company are higher than any of my previous employers.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
1. Employer think innovations can only come from the top layer executives.
2. Zero budgets for ideation if the idea comes from engineer level. It has to be PPTed, presented 10 times and rarely given budget or postponed for some unrelated cause.
3. Unclear AI strategy - what it means to internal customers i.e. employees.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
1. If cost optimizations are to be done, please evalaute from the top-down as well on how many assistants, PMOs etc.,
2. Bring only those policies that can be consistently run for a long time, else dont bring them in first place.
3. When companies are acquired, tell existing employees with that means to them if work level interactions are to be done. In most times, acquired companies are given priviliges to be dumb and high grades while existing employees are expected to be more flexible, accomodating and blame taking.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
I think it used to be good and work atmosphere has deteriorted significantly over past years becoming increasingly hostile and defined by constant job insecurity. There is a persistant lack of clarity regarding the future.
Kommunikation
I think communication within the company is characterized by significant gaps and evasive responses regarding the lack of salary increments over the past year. It is frustating to see a disconnect where certian locations receive raises despite the company's profitability and strategy of acquistions while providing poor justifications for freezing german employees compensation remains deeply concerning.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
I think over the past years, teams are have become increasingly isolated despite 3-day WFO policy. That's because supervisor driven gaol setting focuses on individual performance rather than promoting a collective team effort.
Work-Life-Balance
I think everything depends on project. But in general is also good as vacation time is respected and fellow colleagues are quite accomodating.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
I think the person bringing new solutions are rarely rewarded or appreciated if the person belong to engineer level. The hirearcy structure eats innovation for breakfast.
Interessante Aufgaben
I think it depends on the project, on a general level if the task is directly with client it is easier than the task that has to be routed via internal process and internal management.
Gleichberechtigung
I observed asian colleagues are expected to be more flexible than the german/european peers.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
I feel great colleagues at mid-senior level and few good managers.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Good bright office space and equipment. Many complaints on air-condititioning in past year but no concrete solutions. Too many desk movements for various reasons suddenly without proper planning. A clear divide in treatment of employees depending on whether they belong to an ODC or not.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Employer promote a lot of CSR activities and sustainability initiatives. Promote EV adoption by offering vehicle charging infra in office basement.
Gehalt/Benefits
No salary increments from July 2024. Basic revision to be done considering the germany inflation % in last 2 years.
Image
From 2025 onwards, divide has grown in terms of company image projected outward to internal reality
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Education (rating: 4): access to some ed-tech platforms and unversity collab for higher education is possible. Time to pursue them is not considered in 40-hr work week properly.
Career (rating 2): nobody knows what does that mean as task assignment happens based on availability than on specific expertise of individual.
