Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Flexible Arbeitszeiten und Verständnis dafür, wenn Sie einige Stunden abwesend sein müssen, z. B. bei einem Arztbesuch.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Tolle Kollegen aus aller Welt.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Colleague cohesion
The application process was great

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

See points before.
Attitude towards the employee
Continuous control that blocks your work more and more
Processes must be defined and placed in the company
The filing of documents must be regulated in such a way that they are accessible to new employees (the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing)
Exchange of management in the area of ​​finance and accounting

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Management in the areas of accounting and tax should be replaced as quickly as possible and the mindset regarding future collaboration with employees should be reconsidered. The change of employees takes place annually and as employees leave, the knowledge in the company also goes away. For me, the company is a fragile structure.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

The culture is to be continually controlled. External consultants are hired to take on this job. An external consultant is more valued and trusted than your own employee. The consequence is that you are in constant stress just to meet the goals and expectations of management. As a result, the external consultants have no respect at all because they always have the upper hand. This meant that I could no longer sleep at night because I sometimes thought that I hadn't done enough to be able to present the progress of my work in the next status report. Culture of complete distrust of employees

Image

I can only agree with the comments of the last reviewers, the company has received an absolutely bad image due to the change of management two years ago. Absolute hire and fire policy. In the company you are not an employee but a number/soldier who has to function. Saved with daily checks by external consultants

Work-Life-Balance

Unavailable. Endless open point lists that are kept, when must be completed/completed by when, constant checking of the work progress, both in terms of subject matter and time by external consultants, is normal for a 12 to 14 hour day. Above all, the work is made more difficult by the fact that neither the structure of communication nor the division of work, i.e. the process management by the VP Accounting and Tax, is present. This mismanagement means that you sometimes have to search forever to find the right data/documents. I have never experienced a company like this that still has such catastrophic filing control over the respective topics

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Gehalt/Benefits

The amount of work is balanced out with a good salary

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Since many colleagues were replaced and are therefore new and trying to find their way in the chaos, the cohesion among colleagues was very good. All colleagues are very friendly, helpful and supportive. That's the only positive thing I can say about this company

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

die 50 darf nicht überschritten sein

Vorgesetztenverhalten

If you ask questions and want qualified answers, you've come to the wrong place at VP accounting and tax. She is an excellent boss. At first everything seems very friendly and happy. She is completely incompetent. For a company that still prepares its financial statements according to German accounting standards (HGB) and has stakeholders interested in the audit, she neither speaks German nor has any knowledge of German accounting (HGB). And this is supposed to be a superior from whom one can learn something? She doesn't even understand international accounting. When questions are directed to her, they are brushed off with a silly smile.
A professionally ticking time bomb. Furthermore, the employees are technically better at what they can do than the VP, the technical perfection for her position is beyond her ability. This is strictly prevented so that the CFO and especially the CEO do not notice how weak this manager is.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Hire and Fire Kultur. Kein Interesse an langfristigen Beschäftigungsverhältnissen. Nach einem Jahr hat man ausgedient oder geht vor lauter Frust und vollkommener Überarbeitung von alleine.

Kommunikation

There is no onboarding. After a week on board you should know everything, be able to do it and understand everything. If you have any questions, you won't get any answers from management because the VP Head of Accounting and Tax is not up to the professional requirements even with the topic that needs to be dealt with technically. Due to the professional overload, she is hiding behind the knowledge of expensive consultants and tries to keep the employees stupid and ignorant. The exchange takes place via a thousand open point lists, which are updated daily but do not add any value because the VP does not coordinate who has to do what and when. She is an absolute misfit in the company. You're lucky if an employee can help you a little, as a lot of employees who still had some knowledge of the past have left in the last six months. The rest of the employees are new themselves and are trying to somehow find their way in the chaos.

Gleichberechtigung

ist partiell gegeben, jedoch die 50 darf man nicht überschritten haben.

Interessante Aufgaben

Many topics are being worked on and therefore there is diversity. However, the many topics result from the fact that the topics that should have been completed three years ago are still relevant.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

- Modernes technisches Paket
- Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Privatleben
- Hochqualifiziertes Personal (aber nicht unbedingt erfahren)
- Gute Lage des Büros
- Verschiedene Nationalitäten in der Belegschaft

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

- Häufige Entlassungen (manchmal können auch sehr gute Kollegen entlassen werden)
- Wenn jemand entlassen wird, zeigen die Kollegen viel Mitgefühl, und dann, während des Gartenurlaubs und später, erinnert sich niemand mehr an ihn oder es interessiert niemanden, ob der Betreffende einen neuen Job gefunden hat oder nicht
- Der CTO hat in den letzten Jahren gewechselt und viele seiner Ex-Kollegen mitgebracht
- Einstellung mit überdurchschnittlichem Gehalt und dann jährlich niedrige Gehaltserhöhungen
- Sehr wenige betriebliche Leistungen im Vergleich zu anderen Unternehmen
- Kosteneinsparungen in den letzten Jahren in allen Bereichen. Selbst geplante Betriebsfeiern wurden abgesagt
- Zu starke Einsparungen bei den Arbeitsmitteln wirken sich auch auf die Leistung der Mitarbeiter aus
- Die Produktqualität wird stark beeinträchtigt
- Das Management vernachlässigt die Vorlieben/Meinungen der Untergebenen
- Zu begrenztes Budget für alles: Teamgebäude, Geschäftsreisen usw.
- Herstellung von Produkten auf die Schnelle, ohne gründliche Planung

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Es hat keinen Sinn, Verbesserungsvorschläge zu machen, da sie immer ignoriert wurden.

Work-Life-Balance

30 Tage Urlaub, ganzer freier Tag am 24. Dezember und an Silvester, keine Überstunden, fast keine Rufbereitschaft.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Gehalt/Benefits

Überdurchschnittliche Vergütung. Sehr wenige Vorteile, keine Aktienoptionen

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Hört sich in 1:1-Gesprächen die Probleme der Mitarbeiter an, tut aber fast nichts, um sie zu unterstützen. Verspricht, etwas zu tun, schweigt dann aber. Ignoriert die nachlassende Motivation des Mitarbeiters.

Interessante Aufgaben

Moderne Technologie, von Grund auf neu entwickelte Projekte, die Altsysteme ersetzen. Aber meist stecken sie in der Wartungsphase fest. Die Qualität wird sehr stark kompromittiert.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Colleagues are very nice and professional, you can learn a lot from them, unfortunately, the good ones are leaving ...

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

PPRO was one of the best companies to recommend in Germany, but not anymore with those new managers that force their opinions and technology choices within each implementation plus a lot of micro-management

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Top managers should question why so many good people leaving and they should look for the reasons behind that.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

The whole company changed when the new CTO arrived, he brought a bunch of managers/principals with him and they were like `You guys don't know anything and we know better` and that led to many good engineers leaving the company as they disagree with many approaches forced by those managers plus the micro-management.

Work-Life-Balance

Recently they forced everyone to work from the office 2 days per week, just because someone felt not enough connected, this was a very bad decision and many are considering leaving or have left already because of that.

Colleagues are very nice and professional, you can learn a lot from them.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

a lot of micro-management especially from the new managers brought by the new CTO.

Kommunikation

Communication is getting worse and worse.

Gehalt/Benefits

Overall the salary range is within the market ranges.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Flexibilität

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Fehlende Karrierepläne, manchmal keine klare Struktur

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Konkrete Karrierepläne mit Entwicklungspotenzial für jede Abteilung und jeden Mitarbeiter

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Sieht eher gefaked aus. Es wird wenig von der Management-Ebene wirklich angegangen, Initiativen erfolgen meist seitens der einzelnen Mitarbeiter.
