Was a good place to work few years back but not anymore
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
People who worked there were great
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Low salaries, low bonuses, no stable salary increases, no stability at work (each few years reorganizing), almost no support (or hard to get) for self-growth (no high-level courses provided, hard to get the budget for the conferences).
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Massive employee reductions over the years and vague salary increases will never motivate people to work, one wave passes and then comes another. More stability, better salaries and possibilities / financial support to grow professionally would make a big difference.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Big slow and corporate. The processes and implementation is really slow
Work-Life-Balance
It is the only thing in METRO.digital that stands out and what is keeping most of employees to stay. Flexible work hours, hybrid (sometimes almost fully remote) work.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
It seems like career possibilities are only for management level. 4 of my colleagues from different department could not get the promotion and job titles they want though they already were making the job of desired position. Company expects more that it gives back.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Personally my team was great and supportive
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Employees are friendly and quite open-minded does not matter how old are they
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Close leadership like managers are mostly good, the problem appears with C-Level executives that are far away from employees and their needs.
Arbeitsbedingungen
As most of employees work remotely company does not provide home office setup. After massive employee reduction most of the real professionals left and it highly impacted the work quality.
Kommunikation
Because of the size of this company and the structure of departments communication between teams is not effective. The worst is the leadership communication to employees. In the time when company was restructuring the poor communication created a lot of gossips, official statements from the company were received too late. That resulted in a lot of stress and demotivation.
Gehalt/Benefits
Almost no salary increases (rare and small), small/non-existent budgets for self-improvement and growth. There is one time bonus that is paid once per year but compared to other companies it's small and declining over the years (at least my experience). No other real benefits provided.
