International Company
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Working in an international company can be challenging at times but it is also very exciting. You get the opportunity to communicate with people from all over the world and learn about how they do business.
You also have the freedom to manage your own tasks and agenda, as long as it works & all the necessary work is covered. There is no feeling of micro management.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Here in Heilbronn we are only a fraction of the whole global VPG organization. The atmosphere on site it very pleasant and all employees are on a first name basis. We have weekly events that take place such as our "Coffee Chat" which allows team members to come together and discuss topics other than just work. Team building and bonding is an important topic on site.
Kommunikation
Being an international company, communication at time can be challenging, working with different time zones and with different cultures. However, on the other hand it is also a perk because it allows you to learn how to adapt to different situations and helps you grow as an individual.
On site, the team has open communication with one another. We have monthly meetings to discuss local topics and we also believe in an open door policy.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The team on site gets along well, sometimes there are hurdles along the way, which is only natural, but we try our best to get over them. Through open and honest communication we learn more about each other and the best way to move forward.
Work-Life-Balance
We have many benefits including company doctor, health events (ex. office yoga), flexible working time, and the option for 1 Home Office day per week.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Locally, in Heilbronn, we have very supportive management. They are always open to feedback and make themselves available to the team.
On a larger scale, each division has their own management, and sometimes management styles differ. Also being an international company, it is important to be aware of the different cultures and how this may affect management style.
Interessante Aufgaben
You never know what the day will bring. I am not limited to working only on daily German administrative tasks but I also get the chance to work with more international topics, this is exciting because is allows me to learn something new everyday. No two days are the same and this is something that keeps the job interesting and exciting!
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen

Image
The company needs to work on their current image. Historically being part of a larger company, the VPG image is often enough confused with the former company. We need to put more effort towards our "brand awareness" to make the world aware of who VPG is.
