No plan....
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The people - and I mean the hard working consultants, senior consultants and managers. There is some fantastic talent around!
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The leadership team....
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Perhaps bringing in some senior people that truly understand the Swiss Market and have a solid client network. Also, and this is going to be the most difficult part, if you want to play with the big firms in Switzerland you will have to invest and you will have to do that for a few years. However, my perception is that there is no real commitment from France to put the pedal to the metal and invest in Switzerland....
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Toxic - you can hardly find anyone in the team that has something good to say about the current situation within the company....
Kommunikation
Very little - we have now been waiting for a new strategy for month
Kollegenzusammenhalt
People pull together in the misery, but due to the constant pressure from the leadership team there is little trust and people are trying to focus on their individual success
Work-Life-Balance
Overall there is a feeling of "quiet quitting" people just seem to do the bare minimum, me included. This results in a better work-life-balance then you would expect from a consulting company
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Lot's of empty promises - there has been a promise of a new strategy, promise of support, promise to re-evaluate bad working environment, promise to look into compensation and benefits....but so far no tangible actions. The top leadership team is not on the ground in Switzerland and mostly "manages" the organization from abroad
Interessante Aufgaben
I personally always had interesting client projects that made me forget about the internal problems. However, navigating internal processes (timebooking, invoicing procurement) has been a nightmare. There is a backoffice for those activities but the processes are so broken that these activities take more time then the actual consulting work we should be doing....
Gleichberechtigung
...there are a few D&I activities
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Hard to judge as there are none around...
Arbeitsbedingungen
The current office in Zurich is really bad! I stay away from it as much as possible as you can't really work there. There is a plan to move into a new building 2024/25...but communication around that is also very fuzzy
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
On paper yes - and we also try to sell sustainability services, but we don't even have proper recycling happening in the office (e.g no place for aluminum cans)
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
For me personally salary is fair and pension fund was also good. Besides that very little to no benefits. On more junior grades packages are substantially below industry average
Image
None for consulting services...
Karriere/Weiterbildung
I still have not figured out, how and where to get on interesting trainings. Then again you probably don't want to do too much training as that is in conflict with the chargebility targets....
