Disappointing experience
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Interesting product
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
New working policy, management seems to think mostly about themselves and their own comfort
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Keep your promises (like it was promised a few months ago from Management, that even "after Corona", at least 2 days home office per week would still be allowed for everyone for the future but now that promise is apparently irrelevant), take employees' wishes and concerns seriously
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Used to be great but since the new management took over and changed many things (e.g. home office policy) for the worse, many people are frustrated and less enthusiastic than they used to be.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Still good, at least in my department
Work-Life-Balance
All employees were allowed to work from home the last 2 years when their kind of work allowed it, many people were promised regular home office days (or even 100% in some cases) when they were hired and they counted on that. Now all of a sudden home office is not allowed anymore, if someone needs it they need to "apply" for it with no guarantee that they will get it or if so if they can rely on it for the future. It also will create jealousy and frustration between the employees if one colleague is allowed to work from home and the other is not. What kind of strategy is that? You need to motivate people in order to reach your goals and this is creating the opposite.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Management tells employees that they will not get pay rise to help with inflation because company needs to save money (which makes sense) but on the other hand a lot of money is spent for unnecessary things e.g. expensive travel to meetings abroad that could have been attended remotely (also not great under the aspect that this is bad for the environment and Volocopter wants to be an environmental-friendly company and sustainability is allegedly very important...well...) and also Management does not seem to care that people are demotivated and even leave the company because of the recent changes (e.g. working policy).
Arbeitsbedingungen
There are often IT disturbances and one can't work effectively because Outlook won't start or Internet connection gets cut by Security Software etc and that even happens at the office, not only when working at home which is extremely annoying. Modern offices, free lunch and coffee, water etc is free as well.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There is a course catalogue for various trainings and a training budget per employee per year
