Working at Von der Heyden Human Capital was a nightmare. It was monotonous, the management was suffocating, and the environment toxic. They treated us like robots, completely ignoring our individuality. Onboarding was a joke, and they never acknowledged our skills or experiences. We were just thrown into projects without any say, and all we did was mindless documentation. They advertised unlimited vacation, but nobody ever got approved. Moreover, the absence of a feedback culture and disregard for employee well-being further compounded the challenges. Overall, I cannot recommend this employer to anyone seeking a fulfilling and supportive workplace.
The work atmosphere is far from positive, characterized by pervasive micro-management and a toxic environment. Even exemplary deliverables face criticism, as each director assesses based on personal preference, devoid of standardized criteria. Feedback and employee appreciation are conspicuously absent. When feedback is provided, it lacks constructive value, focusing solely on finding fault. A culture of acknowledging mistakes is entirely absent. Both directors and upper management demonstrate unprofessional behavior, adversely impacting both work quality and employee well-being. Fear of error pervades daily operations. Work-life balance is non-existent, with relentless pressure and disregard for scheduled time off evident through weekend emails and calls.
However, work-life balance was completely absent. I found myself constantly rearranging and canceling personal plans due to work commitments. Moreover, as previously mentioned, I was frequently contacted by my superiors outside of work hours, a practice that is clearly against company policy.
The only positive aspect of my experience was the camaraderie shared with colleagues at my level. As the saying goes, "shared misery is half the misery."
The conduct of the supervisors is profoundly unprofessional. There's a glaring absence of appreciation or recognition for employees' efforts. The turnover rate I observed during my tenure starkly underscores this disregard for employee satisfaction.
Furthermore, micromanagement is rampant, stifling any sense of autonomy or creativity among team members. Opportunities for growth and advancement are virtually non-existent, leaving employees feeling stagnant and undervalued. These factors contribute to a toxic work environment, where morale is low and turnover remains high.
Regrettably, I must acknowledge the absence of effective and consistent communication in this context. Instead, there is a prevalent culture of gossip among upper management, extending even to various team channels. This lack of discretion is unsettlingly common. Furthermore, there exists no culture of feedback or accountability, with incessant communication intruding into personal time, beyond work hours, and even during illness. To illustrate, there was an incident where I received three missed calls from my director just moments after stepping away for a restroom break. Upon returning the call, I was admonished for not immediately answering. Such incidents speak volumes about the prevailing norms.
Moreover, the tasks and exercises assigned are often monotonous and uninspiring, failing to align with the diverse skill sets and interests of the employees. Rather than challenging individuals to grow and develop professionally, these assignments feel mundane and unfulfilling. Employees are left feeling unengaged and disenchanted with their work, leading to decreased motivation and productivity.
There is nothing to appreciate about the employer. They only work for the clients and tends to fire or let go of employees to keep the clients happy no matter if the employees have family to support or not.
The micromanagement in this company is something that is traumatising. The top level management dictates the functioning of the entire company. There is no room for creativity. they have a robotic approach. Ones mistakes are exaggerated beyond necessity evidently showcasing lack of psychological safety and extreme unprofessionalism.
There is absolutely no work life balance in this company. All are expected to work at all times when during weekends and late nights to keep the clients happy.
Due to highly transactional work in this company the relationship between collegues was mostly limited. All worked for their bonus and there was nothing beyond that.
Supervisor behaviour is extremely unprofessional. There is no humanitarian standards. The resignation records says it all.
There are no proper communication lines. There were several situations where the employees were fired on the last day of probation and no reasons were given. Other employees were even sued for resigning.
The company has a very ambitious and perfectionistic culture in which you can have a very steep learning curve, while working on interesting projects for some of the leading start-ups / scale-ups in Germany. The success of the company until now speaks for itself.
The work is very transactional you are solely measured based on your outputs. While you learn a lot in the view months in regards to project management and various industries, this flattens out as there is no real development plan in place. The company has a culture of close supervision, which can be draining at times.
I think there there needs to be more trust and responsibility given towards employees. The majority of the work evolves around a few internal decision-makers, while the rest of the company is aiming to accommodate those few with their work. I found this harmful for the individual approaches of people and left out personal input that could have been an value-add.
