Little trust, dialogue or development
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Skilled and supportive technical colleagues, challenging and varied projects, and an established company in a growing field.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
In my experience, conflicts were handled formally, communication with management lacked openness, professional development was neglected, and flexible working arrangements were not dependable.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Favor open dialogue and early clarification before formal measures. Define remote and mobile work rules clearly and apply them consistently. Invest in structured training and career development, review compensation against the market, and build trust with employees, especially in times of disagreement.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Collaboration with colleagues remained professional throughout. Over time, however, the overall atmosphere became more formal and strained, particularly when disagreements arose.
Image
The company has an interesting product portfolio. In my own experience, however, the way internal conflicts were handled did not match the image presented externally.
Work-Life-Balance
Working hours were generally manageable. Flexibility such as mobile work was, in my experience, not dependable and could be withdrawn, which made planning difficult.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Professional development received little support. I had to request a training course several times, and the answer I received was that it did not align with my future as a developer. Clear development paths and a training budget would be a real improvement.
Gehalt/Benefits
In my view, compensation was average to below average for the role and the market.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
In my experience, environmental and social responsibility received little visible attention in day-to-day work.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
My colleagues in the technical team were competent, helpful and genuinely invested in good engineering. This was the strongest aspect of my time at the company. Leadership was a clear contrast: in my experience, management was often not aware of what was happening within the team, and team requests were frequently disregarded while only positive news was passed upward. A recently appointed lead did not change this.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
The longer I stayed, the less supported I felt as an experienced employee.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
My personal impression is that leadership favored formal measures over dialogue when issues came up. I would have valued more trust, regular feedback and direct conversation.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The technical setup was standard and functional. The best part of the working environment was colleagues who cared about technical quality. Flexibility around remote and mobile work was limited and changed over time, in my case and, to my knowledge, in the cases of others as well.
Kommunikation
In my experience, communication from management was largely formal and top-down. Open questions were often handled through formal channels rather than direct conversation. Earlier and more transparent communication would have prevented a lot of friction.
Gleichberechtigung
I cannot give a well-founded assessment of this topic from my own experience.
Interessante Aufgaben
The work in data engineering was technically interesting and varied, and it came with real responsibility. However, quality topics such as technical debt and careful handling of edge cases received too little attention, and developer concerns about them were often treated as unnecessary. It is an unusual situation when the developers care more about the quality of the product than the people managing it.
