Arbeitsatmosphäre

One of the strongest assets of the company. Very supportive and cheerful colleagues from different cultural backgrounds. Warm talks during the breaks (flexible time). Many people make real friendship. Easily approachable management not only for work-related questions, but also personal situations.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

As was mentioned above, the supervisors and management are very approachable. There is a room for improvement of setting the tasks and micromanagement. Proactivity is strongly encouraged, but actions shall be discussed with the supervisors in a clear way.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

A part of the working atmosphere. Everyone can easily come to a colleague, who is more experienced in a certain field, and get the necessary support or training.

Interessante Aufgaben

Another strong point. A great place for the people with active mindset and willingness to learn and share the knowledge. Very broad range of chemistries, techniques and approaches. Possibility to work in different groups, as well as voluntarily participate in solving complex problems to challenge your mind and get a hands-on experience. Recently the management is very committed to assigning the people to the tasks/groups basing on the individual strong points.

Kommunikation

Absence of extra bureaucracy makes communication somewhat less structured that one may expect, but provides a great opportunity to develop one of the most important skills to deliver your ideas and results in a clear, precise and convincing way.

Karriere / Weiterbildung

There are positive changes. Recently the company started to introduce more training programs both internally and externally for the employees, who show good performance. The experience the people get in the company (provided responsible and active mindset) is extremely valuable both from technical point of view and developing soft skills. Internal carrier opportunities are quite limited due to the size of the company, but it also means there is a big space for actively participating in company development to change it for better.

Gehalt / Sozialleistungen

The salary level requires improvement, but also depends on individual performance . Payments are done always in time.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Everyone has an access to sufficient number of computers with necessary software directly at the work place including laboratories. The equipment is maintained at a good level. Damaged equipment is removed from service immediately. Good level of safety.

Work-Life-Balance

The main point here is the presence of the shift system. This ensures very efficient work-flow for delivering competitive solutions for the customers. It may be difficult for some people, but on the other hand provides very high level of flexibility: there is a possibility to shift your work time very simply when there is a need, for a example, to have an appointment, come back from a travel etc. This can be easily negotiated with a supervisor provided that the work done in a responsible way.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

• Introduction of a bonus system to better address achievements of the employees. Providing more holidays. Better transparency in terms of ongoing projects / perspectives / aims / values to encourage involvement of the people in the company development (common goal).

Pro

Very positive working atmosphere, flexibility in many aspects, very interesting and challenging tasks, as well as the shift towards significant positive changes from the management side.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Very international company

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Nice and collaborative Colleagues, very international environment.

Interessante Aufgaben

Very different projects from different Customers. An excellent occasion to experience a lot of different chemistry. English is the language inside the Company.

Kommunikation

Significative improvement in the last Years

Gleichberechtigung

More than 10 Nationalities: no discrimination for color of the skin, religion, sexual orientation. Since chemistry is quite male oriented world, we can say there are a number women, also as middle managament, above the average.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Most of the people are between 20 and 45.

Karriere / Weiterbildung

It is a middle siize compoany (50-100 workers) therefore there some but limited position for a Career. For most of the people it is the first job. After a few years working there, some possibilities of "Weiterbildung" are offered

Gehalt / Sozialleistungen

Salaries are paid always and always on time. A limited bonus system was very recently introduced. Since the Company is offering service to other Companies, to be competitive one of the aspect is that salaries are a bit lower than Companies of the same size in other businesses.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Since there is a shift system, most of the people do not have their own desk, but in general everyone has his fumehood.

Work-Life-Balance

A partial shiftsystem is installed. some stress from the Customers

Verbesserungsvorschläge

• Increase the salaries and the bonus system. Give more freedom and responsabilities to accountable people

Pro

A lot of very different Chemistry. Very good place for a first industrial experience.

Contra

Salary and some stress coming from the Customers

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Das Management braucht mehr als dringend selbst ein Coaching. Mal ernsthaft - keiner dieser Menschen würde sich doch ernsthaft selbst so behandeln lassen wollen. Da fehlt Reflektion und der Mut, sich eigene Fehler einzugestehen.

Interessante Aufgaben

Für den Anfang okay. Ambitionierte Kollegen sollten sich aber nicht zu viel versprechen.

Kommunikation

Die Kommunikation ist eins der behandlungsbedürftigsten Punkte. Wer auf irrationale Diskussionen steht, nicht ernst genommen werden will und dabei ordentlich von der Chefetage einstecken mag ist da richtig, aber das tut sich doch keiner freiwillig an.

Karriere / Weiterbildung

Keine. One Way in die Sackgasse.

Gehalt / Sozialleistungen

Unterbezahlt. Wer eine anständige, leistungsgerechte und wertschätzende Vergütung möchte, der sollte sich bei anderen Unternehmen bewerben.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Es ist fürchterlich wie das Management gute Miene zum bösen Spiel macht, ein positives Image und Betriebsklima vorheuchelt. Unbezahlte Überstunden, die nicht ausgeglichen werden können. Schichtarbeit. Grottige Gehaltsaussichten. Hauptsache das Management gönnt sich.

Umwelt- / Sozialbewusstsein

Umwelt- und Sozialbewusstsein? Ich geh kurz lachen.

Work-Life-Balance

Die (Arbeits)Zeit, inkl. häufiger Überstunden, die man in dieses Unternehmen investiert, kriegt man niemals zurück. Weder die Lebenszeit, die Überstunden in Form von Vergütung oder Abgeltung und erst recht nicht in Wertschätzung.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

• Alles sollte mal gründlich strukturiert werden.
• Management sollte dringend von ihrem hohen Ross absteigen
• Mitarbeiter ernstnehmen und tatsächlich wertschätzen

Contra

Ich bereue es ernsthaft, da je gearbeitet zu haben.

-Keine Weiterentwicklungsmöglichkeiten
-Kein Raum für offene Diskussionen und Meinungsaustausch
-Gehalt ist eine Frechheit
-Arbeitsbedingungen sind stark verbesserungsbedürftig
-Arbeitszeiten
-Verhalten der Vorgesetzten!!

und so vieles mehr ...
