An employer in one of the most attractive areas of nature
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The two Hamilton Medical AG sites in Bonaduz and Ems are located in extremely beautiful countryside. So if you like to be in the nature and do sports such as snowboarding, skiing, cycling etc then these are certainly two very good places to be.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
There is something extremely fascinating about Hamilton Medical AG. On the one hand, the company is very successful in marketing its products and itself as a company. It is also gaining market shares in the ventilation sector. This has certainly been helped by the coronavirus pandemic and the elimination of some competitors in the US market.
However, the company´s internal structures are antiquated and inefficient. The las real technical innovation were more than 10 years ago, and the company lacks a lot know-how, which in turn affects processes, staff selection and working methods.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
All in all it is a cosy place. Even the new team leads and managerss soon give up their ambitious goals and adatpt to the Hamilton way of doing things
People with expertise and experience who are new and have to learn how the company works can sometimes get a bit frustrated. The outdated structures, working methodes and lack of know-how takes the fun out of work and you have to put up with a lot of nonsense.
The company is not really an environment for high performers who want to work in a meaningful way and are not interested in talking and working under superiors whose main qualifications are
- having worked for the company for a long time, or
- young, inexperienced and cheap
- from outside the industry, inexperienced and cheap
Work-Life-Balance
If the one-day homeworking rule doesn´t bother you, the low salary limit your personal life and youre lucky enough to have a googd boos, you can get comfortable.
Interessante Aufgaben
The products and what is planned for the future offer extremely interesting fields of activities and there are certainly opportunities to escape the day-today madness. However it will be difficult to find these areas if you are new to the company from the outside.
Arbeitsbedingungen
There will be improvements to the facilities an equipment in the future. Everything is to be made more modern, more attractive and better equiped than it is now.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Hamilton pays salaries that would be considered uncompetitive in the MedTech industry.
Head of ~ 140k
Product Owner ~ 140k
SW Project Lead ~130k
SW Team Lead ~125k
Image
The external image has been surprisingly good so far. Given the internal challenges and growing market shares, the future will show how long this image can be maintained.
Anyone who has seen the company from the inside and considers themselves to be among the type of preople who
- are enthusiastic about efficiently developing and producing exciting, high-quality products
- are also very well educated or aspire to be very well educated
it is highly unlikely that they will be happy in the company.
In the MedTech community, far away from the valley where the two sites ae located, Hamilton Medical AG is steadily building a better reputation amoung potential applicants;)
