Unternehmenskultur

The atmosphere within the team is okay, if you're lucky enough to be part of a decent team. That's only because everyone knows that all the employees are struggling, so out of basic human consideration, we try not to put too much pressure on one another and just take things easy.

But apart from that, everyone is constantly complaining, and the negativity is difficult to deal with, especially since it's an everyday occurrence. You come to work and immediately feel demotivated.

The biggest catastrophe I have ever seen in my life. I don't understand how people can communicate with one another like this. It's incredible. Maybe because most of the employees are doing the bare minimun, they don't bother to say a complete senetence in their email.

They replaced many on-site employees with remote teams based in India and the Philippines, and the communication with these teams is simply unbelievably hard.

On top of that, many of the remote employees have never even been to Germany and have very little understanding of the German education system, yet they are expected to communicate with students and provide them with guidance. You can imagine how problematic this can be.

You can be very honest with your team or your line manager because, no matter what you say, whether it's a complaint, a suggestion, or an idea for improvement, nothing ever comes of it. I'm not saying this out of nowhere. When we first started our jobs, we were passionate and motivated to make a difference. And what has come out of all that effort? Nothing.

It depends on your manager and your position, but in general, it's bad. The negativity follows you home, and even when you're at home, you can't stop thinking about how bad things are at work.

The higher management doesn't care about their employees at all.

Depends on your position as well. If you are in the administrative departments, there is almost nothing interesting. Only administrative tasks, solving one problem after another.
