Forced hybrid work for the entire company (100% work from home no longer allowed)
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
My immediate team is awesome
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Management decisions seem to be getting worse. Two layoffs within a year, now on the same day we are presented with new "company values" while also receiving the news that there are mandatory office days now, despite numerous employees including some in management expressively being against this (after recently decreasing office space, even).
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Do not shoot yourself in the foot by forcing people to work from the office any number of days. Listen to feedback.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Great within my immediate team, due to current top level management influence I can't recommend it overall
Work-Life-Balance
Used to be great when we could work from home as much as we preferred/needed for optimum performance. Flexibility to work from outside of Germany for a period of time e.g. when visiting family has also been decreased
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Little budget and support for professional development other than great team work that relies on awesome individuals in leading positions. We work strength-based (Gallup) and have had performance and development feedback for a while now though.
Gehalt/Benefits
Acceptable for the current economy I reckon. I wouldn't call the salaries competitive though. The company finds people who want to do meaningful work and/or really need a job.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
I think there is some Umweltbewusstsein. Under Sozialbewusstsein I would also count how much employees are being granted trust, and that part I don't see as much any more.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Great within my immediate team, due to how top level management tendencies impact it I can't recommend it overall. They threw a party for the entire team, less than two weeks later they announce company policy changes that will affect my happiness and productivity at work significantly. Trust is going down for me overall.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
I'm not aware of anything directly negative, however there aren't really any older colleagues, which is in itself a diversity problem.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
My lead is great, reducing stars for top level management and the entire management for not preventing forced hybrid work.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Work conditions are not good in so far as freedom that lead to productivity and happiness optimum got taken away inspite of pushback. The office is noisy, there is no budget for work from home equipment. There is very little budget for conferences etc.
Kommunikation
Great within my immediate team, due to some top level management tendencies that I don't experience as trusting I can't recommend it overall
Gleichberechtigung
I've heard from multiple people that the company has taken advantage of things like them needing a job to stay in the country to underpay
Interessante Aufgaben
It's a great "product" that is lovely to work on. Too much emphasis on advertisement, a bit too much top-down decision-making overall for my taste
