Thank you for your feedback! We’re thrilled (and proud :)) to hear that Elli has contributed to making you feel welcome in this new country of yours. As we continue to foster ONE culture across all offices and to contribute to closing the Gender Pay gap, we encourage you to participate to the different initiatives we have on-going. Feel free to get in touch with the HR team if you need more information!

Hello,

we are sorry that you did not discuss your concerns directly with us. We value open communication and believe that direct dialogue can often lead to more effective resolutions. Nonetheless, we are pleased to read that your manager was supportive and that you understand our vision: "The company wants to change the world by providing e-mobility services to customers"! This indicates that our communication efforts have had some positive impact. We take your feedback seriously and will use it as constructive input to improve further.

However, we have already made significant progress in several areas you mentioned:

- Career Growth & Development: While Degreed is one tool, it is not the only instrument we offer to Ellians. We finalized our Grading system which is the base for a clear and consistent Career Growth & Development plan. Furthermore, as presented in our Company Meeting, we will be implementing a comprehensive Development Path to provide clearer career growth opportunities. We also encourage all employees to take initiative in their development, this is why we implemented the additional Technical Training budget for more flexibility to support employees on their individual needs. If you have specific training interests not listed in Degreed, our Talent Management team is always available to support such requests. It's unfortunate that you did not take advantage of these options.

- Chaos, yet many processes: Elli has transitioned from the start-up to scale-up phase: what you describe is characteristic of this transformation. We are continuously working to streamline our processes in order to enhance efficiency and reduce complexity and chaos.

- Strategy & long-term goals: The Strategy team has put on much effort in communicating and sharing our long term strategic goals since earlier this year: in the dedicated All-Hands Meeting, in the weekly updates on Slack... This information is regularly emphasized in Company Meetings as well as in the general All-Hands by the Management Board and by the people who are leading the topics. Information about our strategy is therefore accessible on different channels. We regret you missed these communications.

- More VPs than departments: This point seems inconsistent, as each Vice President leads a department. Thus, the number of VPs corresponds to the number of departments.

It appears you may not have fully explored the opportunities available at Elli. For any further clarifications, we encourage you to reach out to our HR team or schedule a virtual coffee meeting to discuss all possibilities again. We look forward to hearing from you and working together to address your concerns.

It's a pitty about the experiences you describe.

Unfortunately, some of the points you mentioned are not true.

You say HR doesn't talk to you after you joined Elli? On your first day, you will be invited to a digital onboarding session lasting several days, where all new employees are welcomed. This is organized by HR and even the CHRO introduces himself alongside the colleagues who are responsible for operational HR work. All three of them point out different ways to get in touch with HR several times. We are available via TEAMS, Slack, in various official meetings and of course on site at all 3 locations and are happy to welcome every employee who comes to see us. We do not offer any further welcome meetings, as the new employees are busy at the beginning with information, new faces and various meetings and we do not want to overwhelm them even more. If you would like to talk to us, please feel free to do so at any time!

The salary at Elli mentally broke you? The salary is competitive and has been benchmarked. Individual professional experience and qualifications are also taken into account. Therefore we would have loved to listen to your opinion personally.

Vielen Dank für die Zeit, die du dir genommen hast!
Auf ein paar Punkte deines Feedbacks würde ich gerne näher eingehen:
Du sprichst von einer "IT-Arbeitskultur" - was genau meinst du damit? Jeder von uns trägt seinen Teil dazu bei, eine für alle gute Arbeitsatmosphäre und gemeinsame Kultur zu gestalten. Wir nehmen jeden Hinweis sehr ernst, wenn dies nicht der Fall sein sollte.

Gerade im Hinblick auf die von dir angesprochene "Work-Life-Balance" gibt es bei uns viele Tools, die dir große Flexibilität bieten, um Arbeits- und Privatleben miteinander in Einklang zu bringen. Du schreibst, dass ungeplanter Urlaub nicht bestätigt wird? Sollten dringende und businesskritische Faktoren gegen eine Abwesenheit sprechen, ist das ein anderer Punkt, der aber ebenfalls mit dir besprochen und nicht einfach abgelehnt wird. In allen anderen Fällen ist Urlaub natürlich möglich und darf auch gar nicht abgelehnt werden.

Zum "Vorgesetztenverhalten": ob eine Führungskraft immer "cool" sein muss, sei jetzt außer Acht gelassen. Wichtig ist jedoch, dass sie zu ihrem/seinem Wort steht, das Unternehmen voranbringt und die Mitarbeitenden fördert. Seit diesem Jahr bieten wir das "Leadership Training" für all unsere Führungskräfte an. Hier liegt natürlich auch im Führungsverhalten ein Schwerpunkt.

Abschließend ist zum Punkt "Gleichberechtigung" noch zu sagen, dass bei 43 verschiedenen Nationalitäten unserer Mitarbeitenden bestimmt nicht der gleiche Denkprozess gegeben ist. Unterschiedliche Erfahrungen und Hintergründe führen doch automatisch schon zu einer diversen Ansicht.

Solltest du weitere Punkte haben, komm gern jeder Zeit auf uns zu! Wir freuen uns über jedes Feedback und möchten uns und das Unternehmen stetig verbessern.

We highly appreciate your feedback and the time you took! We would love to support you and would invite you to an open talk - our Works Council is also available at any time!

The open culture at Elli should be visible for every Ellian. Therefore it is really sad to hear which impressions you are sharing. We hope you attended our last "Honestly Survey" to speak up for the mentioned points. There will be measures on company level to improve specific points. It would be great if you would take an active role to support the process.
