If you are in need, this company can help you survive, but I would not consider it for the long term.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
I liked the people with whom I worked.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- Continuous unexpected lay offs;
- Top down culture where employee's opinions doesn't matter;
- Unclear performance review based on personal preferences;
- Absense of career oportunities;
- Employee's feedback to managment is not welcomed;
- Very unflexible position about working from home, CEO wants to see everyone at the office.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
- Trust the people whom you've hired;
- Accept your mistakes;
- Be ready to unplesent feeback;
- Learn about "Candid Communication";
- Add flexibility to the work/home releated policies;
- Respect the people whom you've hired - they know their stuff;
- Less micromanagment and more freedom.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
I think the atmosphere is toxic. Mostly because of the communication style which the managment uses. Also unexpected lay offs happen very often, it doesn't matter if you passed the probation period or not - you can get fired. Top down culture where employees opinion doesn't matter. Employees feedback is not really welcomed especially if the feedback chalanges the managment. The provider of such a feedback may be laid off.
Image
The turn over is quite high so it says a lot about the image. A lot of people would quit if they had another job offer.
Work-Life-Balance
The managment wants you to work more and overtime mostly because it's always chaos and and the company can't meet the deadlines. The key question here if you allow them to do it or not.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
The company is quite reserved about everything besides the job itself so don't expect a lot of additional learning activities.
Gehalt/Benefits
The more you get during offer negatiation the better. Don't expect to have a raise later. The salary raise policy is unclear and it's very based on personal preferences.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
I don't remember any related activity during my time there.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Usual team spirit. Don't expect a lot. The team is the best what they have in this company.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
In general the company tries to avoid having older colleagues.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
The managment ususally sets unrealistic goals and doesn't meet the deadlines. It's always in chaos state. Everything happens on the fly.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Work conditions are very basic, used equipment, don't expect modern and new equipment. It's likely that you request of any modern equipment will be rejected.
Kommunikation
You will be invited to quite mediocre All hands meets with CEO where you will be notified that some of your colleages were laid off and why. Sometimes the CEO talks about some results. Sometimes all together.
Gleichberechtigung
A lot of things in the company are based on the personal preferences.
Interessante Aufgaben
Not really. Very boring job. You don't usually understand what you are supposed to do. The managment doesn't seem to want you to understand what should be done.
