Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Leadership behaviour
Communication and transparency
Unclear decisions
Salary and pay structures
Missing Air conditioning, sense for sustainability, diversity, safety, people focus
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Change or improve the leadership team that people feel valued and get offered a safe space. Hier leaders who make decisions based in objective requirements and who really care for their teams.
Follow defined processes and set clear promotion guidelines.
Set up salary structures that are fair to new and old employees.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Fairness and trust is missing in this company. No safe environment
Kommunikation
They try to improve communication but without success. All hands meetings often get postponed. Colleagues disappear and noone gets any information. There is no transparent communication.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Colleagues usually stick together even though Management is trying to create competition.
Work-Life-Balance
Emnify offers flexibility and remote work which is nice. A minus is that you are obliged to take vacation during Christmas time and your yearly vacation balance will be reduced.
Overhours are not paid.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Leadership doesn't involve employees in decisions. Very top down. They don't make data-driven decisions, it is more based in gut feeling and sympathy.
In conflicts, leaders don't protect employees and rather protect themselves first.
In general, the leadership behaviour worsened since 1.5 years.
Interessante Aufgaben
Tasks are interesting but there is a big imbalance in the workload of teams. Some teams are overstaffed and have nothing to do and others are overloaded.
Gleichberechtigung
Diversity is not a topic here. Few women or international people in Management positions and there seems to be no motivation to change that.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Not many old colleagues. And those who are there for a long time are underpaid compared to new hires.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Technical equipment is good. The office in berlin lost its atmosphere though due to a new office design. No air conditioning in berlin make summer days really difficult.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Not really a topic here.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
When talking to new colleagues, you know that they pay them much more than people who are there for a longer time. For old employees, they don't even match market standards.
Image
The internal image doesn't seem so good as a lot of employees are unhappy with the communication, the Management Team, their decision-making and their lack of people focus.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There is a budget for trainings, but noone knows how to request it and how much can be used. It is very unclear.
Also, they introduced career guidelines but if managers don't follow this process, it creates rather confusion.
