Disorganized hiring process & unclear decision-making
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
* Lack of transparency in final business and hiring decisions
* Poor coordination between recruitment, onboarding, and senior decision-makers
* Last-minute termination after onboarding had already started
* Old-school, highly hierarchical decision-making culture
* Significant time loss for candidates due to late changes in hiring decisions

I accepted an offer for Master Data Manager role at the beginning of November,2025 with an agreed start date in December. The recruitment process was led by the department head and team lead, who appeared to be responsible for the final hiring decision and onboarding preparation.
However, on the second day of employment—while I was already onsite for onboarding—I was informed that my contract was being terminated due to an internal business decision. This decision was not transparent, and I was told that the final termination decision had been made by someone outside the recruiting team. It was completely unexpected and not related to my performance.
This experience resulted in a significant loss of time for the selected candidate, who had already committed to the role, adjusted plans, and waited over a month between offer acceptance and the start date.
While I understand that business priorities can change, cancelling a role after onboarding has begun reflects serious gaps in planning, communication, and accountability. I hope the company improves internal alignment and transparency to prevent future candidates from going through a similar experience.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We regret that your start with our company ended in such an unfortunate way and understand how disappointing this situation must have been.
Ending an employment relationship shortly after onboarding has begun is not the experience we want to provide. While we cannot comment on internal decision-making details, we acknowledge that the coordination and communication surrounding this situation were insufficient.
We regret the inconvenience and loss of time this caused you, especially after you had already committed to the role and planned accordingly.
We take this feedback seriously and have reviewed our internal recruitment and onboarding processes to improve alignment and accountability, with the clear goal of preventing similar situations in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback.
