A Culture of Ownership and Continuous Improvement
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The company's commitment to modernization and embracing change is highly commendable for a rooted organization, and despite the large-scale IT transformation, the general morale remains surprisingly positive. Employees who take initiative, bring strong arguments, and are willing to experiment are actively supported and find opportunities to lead change. Furthermore, the company demonstrates a strong international mindset and flexibility in communication: Although the primary working language is German, I receive full support for using English when it comes to IT processes, technical documentation, or critical conversations to ensure precision and clarity. This openness has even led to significant backing for my efforts to translate core software documentation into English, clearly demonstrating both an openness to change and a commitment to global standards
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The rapid pace of change, while necessary, has led to some instability in the IT management chain and certain internal misunderstandings. Specifically, the frequent change in IT leadership has created a knowledge transfer deficit, negatively impacting employee development continuity. Separately, the lack of defined, modern standards for IT roles means some individuals confuse their functional role with hierarchical authority, which can unfairly impact employees who lack the seniority or experience to push back. Both issues, however, are recognized and addressed by the company.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
To stabilize the ongoing IT transformation, the company must focus on two key areas: improving managerial stability and clarifying roles. The high turnover within IT middle management creates disruptive knowledge gaps, where progress and employee development data are often lost between leadership changes. Furthermore, the company needs to solidify the distinction between 'Role' and 'Hierarchy.' Clear, modern definitions should be established to ensure that roles are used to manage processes—not to imply hierarchical superiority over colleagues—to prevent friction for employees who are not adequately equipped to defend their functional boundaries.
Please note: The entirety of this review is primarily based on my personal experience and observations within the company’s IT department, and may not fully reflect the situation in other divisions.

Vorgesetztenverhalten
Manager behavior has significantly improved in recent years—especially regarding the consistent valuing and asking of employee opinion—but while the company rapidly modernizes, some processes across the entire managerial chain require time to find their optimum way, a normal phase of evolution which I view very positively since joining two years ago.
