Poorly run. Poorly managed. Making money is more important than staff welfare.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The bond between lower level staff.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
All that is listed already.
- Poor management awareness
- Poor work/life balance depending on department.
- Inadequate salary reviews.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Senior management needs to stop acting like they are better than everyone. The most senior person in the company needs to put his friendships aside with those on the level below who runs departments. They cannot be completely unaware of how of how unprofessional some of them are.
Do exit interviews. You had people with 10+years experience leave and no exit interviews for them from what I have been told directly.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
There is a constant air of unease withing the company. The management at top level are either unaware of how poorly senior people manage their staff or they just don't care.
Kommunikation
Information was key and there was always cloak and dagger about hoarding information, especially if staff resigned. You could talk to people if you had and you could not announce it.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
When management was not involved work gets done. Self importance and needing to be the point of contact of everything in certain department s created wasted time and pointless meetings which feels more like stroking ego of person running it.
Work-Life-Balance
Depends who your manager is. One well know manager expected his staff to take phones and laptops on holiday and answer calls and queries to "keep things running".
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Of the three main managers one of them actually managed their team well. It's telling that they had the lowest turnover of staff. The other two managers: one acted as they were in charge but their staff did the real work. The other manager has a very high turnover, including vastly experienced staff who left as a direct result of his management style.
Interessante Aufgaben
The social side of company was great. The normal staff had great cohesion. If everyone worked in the same office and were not spread around as business model dictates it would be a much better company to work for.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Everything is just for show.
Gehalt/Benefits
Pay rises have to be fought for whilst those at the higher level reward each other yearly. They forget it is easy to see what they earn on filings.

The outside image, especially from distance since the re-brand, is good .
