Employees are people. If only the 10% of this sentence could be understood, there would be an improvement of employee's performance.
If they work in an environment where they aren't trusted, see colleagues being fired after sick-leaves or out of the blue, they cope with a lot of pressure that makes their nervous system going constantly into fight-flight-freeze mode, their mental health will deteriorate and this leads to physical symptoms as head or stomach ache, insomnia, panic attacks, etc... In consequence, KPI's will be affected.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Unbearable. Always having to read the small print of everything and feeling you are walking on eggshells. If I could describe the work atmosphere in three words they would be: mistrust, control and pressure
Kommunikation
Broken promises, lack of transparency and a daily dose of surprises on how to make your work conditions a bit worse.
Unnecessary meetings everyday. One in the early morning and one in the late afternoon.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The few good things. We supported each other a lot.
Work-Life-Balance
Forget about it.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Unrealistic deadlines. Mistrusting employees. Micromanagement.
Interessante Aufgaben
Quantity over quality. If you like to have a nice design portfolio, this is not the place for that.
Gleichberechtigung
Employee's capacity will be squeezed regardless of gender
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
I haven't seen many employees over 35
Arbeitsbedingungen
The technical equipment was provided carefully. I missed having the option of choosing windows or OS. IT department was always reachable and efficient.
When working at the office concentration was difficult. Big rooms and calls the whole time.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
There were different garbage bins for bio and packages.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Underpaid, but always on time. No extras for public transport or meals the days working at the office.
Image
They sold themselves as modern start up and work culture but in reality is nothing else than archaic work-wise. Even if they use Du instead of Sie.
For instance:
- Flexibel Arbeitszeiten -> we couldn't even plan freely our launch break
- Flexibilität: Home-Office oder Büro -> yes, but you are not the one choosing what day you work from home (where you are legally registered, forget about remote) or which days you have to go to the office.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
You get some design basics
