Space for Improvement
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- The product
- The working place/office
- Company trips and events
- Onboarding of new employees including welcome package
- Benefits like food allowance, health budget (e.g., inhouse-Shiatsu), etc.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Home office days two times a week is okay, but in 2023 this is no longer sufficient – especially when you are in the software industry.
The employment reference that I received after having worked for the company for more than 5 years did not meet basic requirements.
There is no real career path for employees who want to earn more money long term. If people want to earn significantly more, they either have to take over responsibility for a team/department or leave the company.
The management often declares that self-reflection is important for team leads, but does not question their own decisions and behavior.
The way very loyal colleagues, who had worked many years for the company, got dismissed is questionable and kind of respectless.
If employees are dismissed, they are – in some cases – being treated like criminals and do not even get the chance to say goodbye to their colleagues.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
- Be more honest with your employees
- Stay behind your team leads even if situations are challenging
- Become more flexible regarding home office and remote work – it's a software company
- Live regarding the company values -> Walk the Talk!
- Create an environment that allows different opinions -> groupthink
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The colleagues are friendly and supportive. Also, the team spirit is ok. However, the HR department often causes unrest and uncertainty among colleagues. I also witnessed several occasions where colleagues did not agree with management decisions but did not dare to speak up during company meetings because of fear of consequences. There were examples where they could see what would happen if they had a different opinion.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Poor leadership
Arbeitsbedingungen
Overall, pretty good. Nice office in the city center of Graz. Equipment like computers, monitors, etc. can be chosen by the employee.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
The salary is just average. If employees ask for a raise, they need to be very careful how to ask for it.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Depending on the department employees are in, the options are very limited.
