mehr Schein wie Sein
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The office is beautiful, though a bit outside (depending on where you live), and the restaurant where you get a daily €8 discount is also tasty. However, I preffered the edenred card with €100 monthly. Especially since the restaurant is almost entirely owned by Waterdrop, meaning we’re essentially using our wages to fund this restaurant. The Christmas parties are always very nice, colorful, and abundant. It almost feels like the budget cuts aren’t real anymore. At least for those kinds of events. I also appreciated the company doctor very much.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
I don’t like how employees who aren’t team leads are treated. You just feel like a replaceable, cheap labor force. Also, the fact that long-term employees quit because the company isn’t willing to pay a fair and justified salary is frustrating. It’s like, ‘Oh well, we can replace them.’ Meanwhile, they boast about team spirit and how they’re the best, but it just doesn’t add up.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Maybe just listen a little more to the ‘regular’ employees as well, instead of always asking the higher-ups for their opinion. People are quitting, people who have been there for a long time, those where you wouldn’t have expected it. Simply because it feels like all values are being tossed aside, and only money matters now.
Kommunikation
Worse than bad. You weren’t allowed to communicate directly with colleagues from other departments (even if you needed something to complete a task). Instead, you always had to contact the team lead first. Makes no sense!
Kollegenzusammenhalt
If you're honest, that's the only reason why people are still there.
Work-Life-Balance
It kept going downhill. First they reduced home office to 3 days in the office per week, then to only 5 home office days per month. Very modern, i mean why? They compare it with Amazon, because they also quit HO. They expect you to be there Monday to Friday, ideally from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Who doesn’t love finishing work at 6:00 PM on a Friday as an office employee? By the way, if you need more than those 5 home office days, they’ll threaten you with consequences.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
not very much to say because there was not really much contact. TL kept making weird decisions nobody (of the team) could ever understand why, and don’t you even dare to even think of criticizing him
Gleichberechtigung
You’re only valued if you’re in a management position, everyone else can feel they’re not part of the ‘inner circle of trust.’ But yeah, I guess that’s how it is in many companies where CEOs have completely unrealistic expectations about future goals etc.
Arbeitsbedingungen
friday until 5/6 or even later is a no go for me, also one of the reasons why i quit. We’re selling drops, not saving lives.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Well, it’s not exactly as glorified as it’s made out to be
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Pretty okay until you ask for a raise, they will always find a way how to not pay you more
Karriere/Weiterbildung
not really much possibilities because they are on budget cut
