Lot's of room for improvement!
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Really bad. Most colleagues are nice but you feel that nobody wants to actually be there.
Kommunikation
When something goes wrong, yes. Communication in general is more to find someone that can be blamed for the things that went wrong.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Can be good or bad. It really depends on the person. But don't be surprised if even smallest details you mentioned during lunch time will find their way to management.
Work-Life-Balance
Let me sum this up with an actual quote from management: "You need to bring your motivation from home". In addition to that, nobody will care if you start 2 to 3 hours before they come in every morning. But be ready to defend yourself if you want to go home at 5pm. Overtime in general is expected.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
There are two extremes. Either they don't care at all and only react if their job is in danger, or they ask you to do pretty much 3 jobs at once and micromanage you.
Interessante Aufgaben
The industry is interesting in general. But most tasks are in general really boring. And the few interesting projects are highly mismanaged.
Gleichberechtigung
"Burn out" was called "the womens sickness" by management.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
The global team is younger in general. But don't get the illusion that your word will be considered valuable just because you worked there for many years already.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Old furniture. Some of the office chairs are broken. IT Hardware is in general new. No air con and the summer months are really terrible because of the full windowfronts on both sides of the office.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
The what now?
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Big salary gaps between employees. Some make a fortune and have fix bonus, others make below average with performance based bonus. It is common that you can't reach more than 80% of your target goals no matter how hard you try. This gap even exists between colleagues with the same job description and experience.
Image
The image is different depending on the office you work for. Ask someone from the Bangkok Office if they like working at Unilode and most will tell you "Yes!". Ask someone from the Zurich office and you will have a hard time finding someone speaking positivly.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
If you pay it yourself and make sure that your work is still manageable. But don't get your hopes up that there will be any support from the company.
