Great company but unfortunately not getting better.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
A great working atmosphere paired with interesting work with highly skilled colleagues.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
A top management that still sees the company as a startup and a poor handling of tough financial period.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
- Open salary policy.
- A top-down push for collaboration would bring the company much further.
- Real sustainability initiatives (encourage public transportation instead of buying new parking spots)
- Bringing back real German courses would be sweet (or stop hiring non-German speaking employees)
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Working at Sensirion is mostly great, even if financial challenges come to impact the general mood and cohesion. Sensirion is a business with public stocks after-all.
Kommunikation
Communication is the Achilles heel of Sensirion. Departments are extremely competent individually but mostly incapable when it comes to collaboration. Management is clearly to blame here, but no change in sight. Really unfortunate.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Quite a strength of the company.
Work-Life-Balance
In our department we are really given a great flexibility when it comes to getting the work done. It is highly appreciated by everyone. The statement does not apply to the whole company though.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Top management is not the top performing in communication but direct supervisors are usually excellent.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Working conditions are good even if IT issues are quite common. It is unfortunately not a surprise since the complexity of the job.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Only what you would expect from a company of this size that need to answer to shareholders. The minimum.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Salary for our branch is below what you could hope while working in more specialised company but the work is interesting, and the atmosphere is great. Money does not make it all.
Sensirion used to provide German courses for its employees which was highly appreciated and helped integration. Costs have been cut.
Image
Sensirion still benefits from an excellent image from the past despite tougher times. Employees have faith and are fighting to reach better days.
