Despicable behaviour bordering on abuse. The place is a circus.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The content of what I wrote was interesting.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Honestly, everything. Do not work here, it will make you miserable.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Trust your employees and stop micromanaging everything. Take responsibility for the state of the company and learn to trust others. In all honesty, this company is doomed if nothing changes.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Just horrible. The general employees are lovely, however behaviour from seniors towards others is ineffable. Each day is a barrage of abuse. Every employee is humiliated and berated at such a volume that it is impossible to ignore. Prisoners are treated with more dignity.
Kommunikation
Despite the word being in the name of the company, management have the communication skills of a child. Employees are intentionally left out of meetings and then spoken to as if they were included. There is no structure whatsoever; literally everything is “urgent” and must be done immediately, without any briefing. Questions are met with condescension without answer. The company is managed entirely through an unorganised email inbox. Wrong documents are sent to clients by those in charge, employees are then screamed at for “losing the company money and spoiling their reputation.”
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The employees are all very nice and work well together when allowed to do so. However, it is impossible to work effectively both within and across teams because any form of discussion is treated with suspicion from above.
Work-Life-Balance
Overtime is expected but not asked for. I regularly worked at least an hour of overtime every day with the promise of this being given back. This is not the case. Despite working extra hours, those in charge will deride anyone who walks out the door on time (“oh you’re leaving already”) despite all the extra hours and effort put in, without fail, no matter if you’ve already done more than you are paid for.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Just despicable. No respect for employees. The weekly Monday morning meetings are a 45-minute, self-congratulatory monologue. It is used as an opportunity to demean each employee in front of everyone else. Employees are subjected to abuse and intimidation, there is literally no one to help you. All responses to comments on review sites are not written by who it says it is and are fabricated to sound like they are improving. They genuinely have no interest beyond themselves.
Interessante Aufgaben
The content of what I write is very interesting, however there is no direction from superiors here either. Expectations are not given until the end of the project or are changed last minute. No deadlines are given. Ever. This will also be treated as the employee’s fault.
Gleichberechtigung
Whilst there are employees of various backgrounds working here, employees are audibly discriminated against. Employees are ridiculed for having children or wanting to spend time with family (“I will never employ someone with children again, all they care about is them and I cannot rely on them”). I have been verbally abused by differing levels of seniority in the presence of other and nothing was done about it.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Older employees do work here and those outside of senior positions have been great to work with.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Prisoners are treated with more respect and dignity than in this company. I’ve never experienced anything like it and it’s disgusting. I would urge anyone who doesn’t want to spend every working day being treated like dirt to avoid this place.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Seniors have no awareness whatsoever. Environmental isn’t really applicable, though. Those in charge have no morals. I have been asked to plagiarise and publish material without consent of the original source – my refusal/opposition to this was met with abuse. A significant portion of time is spent scheming and spying on employees.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Employees are grossly underpaid. Regular complaints about how there is a ‘6-figure salary bill every month’ as if it is a surprise that employees should be paid. Whilst salary negotiations are possible, you will never be paid what you deserve and you will be constantly reminded of that. There are no social benefits because we are not allowed to talk to each other in the office; certain employees were even banned from having lunch with everyone else.
Image
Awful. The way seniors talk with clients is embarrassing, and when they make a mistake, you will be immediately blamed in front of the client and humiliated.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There is a lot of talk about ‘promotions’ and ‘increased responsibility’ but this is just a disguise for management to further abuse you. Any ‘promotion’ handed out does not come with increased respect or responsibility. Employees are further shouted at and insulted. There is literally no structure for any real career development within the company.
