Lost in transformation
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
There is a nice supermarket next door.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The management
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Trust their employees, less micro management.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The atmosphere has been filled with distrust for a while but has recently hit an all time low since many colleagues are leaving soon.
Image
PR works hard to maintain a good image.
Work-Life-Balance
The work life balance could be good, if I wouldnt find myself taking the tense atmosphere home with me. Working from home is officially permitted but discouraged by management.
Gehalt/Benefits
TVöD payment
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Doesnt seem to be a big thing.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
In my experience, there is a strong divide between employees who support management and those who question its decisions. There appears to be an inner circle in which loyalty to management carries more weight than expertise, ideas or constructive criticism. This contributes to an atmosphere in which people are reluctant to speak openly because they fear for their contracts.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
At least some equality here: It doesn't seem to be worse than for the other colleagues.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Management seems to be struggling considerably and appears to have lost its sense of direction.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Nice rooms filled with bad atmosphere.
Kommunikation
Communication from management lacks transparency and can be misleading. Roles and responsibilities are unclear, leading to confusion and conflict among colleagues. Occasional town hall meetings allow employees to submit anonymous feedback, but in my experience, critical questions go unanswered.
Gleichberechtigung
The scientific leadership is made up of male chemists, and in my experience, employees who fit that profile have better chances. However, highly qualified employees can also face hostility when their expertise is perceived as a threat.
Interessante Aufgaben
The research agenda is exciting and covers a wide range of topics, but based on what I have observed, poor management, unclear responsibilities and a lack of established processes significantly hinder progress. While some turbulence is understandable in a newly founded institute, enough time has now passed that management can no longer reasonably use start-up challenges as an excuse for these ongoing systemic problems.
