When a fish starts to rot, it rots from the head first.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
One aspect I would like to highlight positively is the team itself. My colleagues are collaborative, supportive, and highly competent. That makes it even more disappointing to see so much potential held back by inconsistent leadership, limited strategic foresight, and a lack of clear priorities.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
I have experienced the company's development over the past few years firsthand. What has increasingly concerned me is not the product or the expertise of my colleagues, but the way the company is managed and how decisions are made—or, in some cases, not made at all.
The management team set ambitious growth targets and expanded the workforce accordingly. Growth itself is a positive goal, and in the beginning the company introduced new structures, defined processes, and clarified responsibilities. However, in my experience, there was a lack of consistency in following through. Decisions were often made quickly, later revised, or reversed entirely, creating the impression that there was no clear long-term direction.
In day-to-day work, this resulted in uncertainty and frustration. Projects were launched, then abandoned or fundamentally changed. Priorities shifted frequently, and previously agreed decisions were reconsidered, making it difficult for employees to understand what the long-term objectives actually were. Clear communication and reliable decision-making were often missing.
What I found particularly disappointing was the way employees were affected when the company entered a more challenging phase. As the expected growth did not materialize, colleagues were made redundant for business reasons. Many of them were highly committed and technically skilled employees who, in my view, had little influence over the strategic decisions that led to this situation. It left the impression that the consequences of strategic shortcomings were ultimately borne by those working on the operational side of the business.

My hope is that the company will place greater emphasis on sustainable leadership, transparent communication, and consistent decision-making in the future. The business has significant potential, but realizing that potential will require stronger leadership and a clearer long-term strategy.
