Crashing the Great Wall: "GWM, or a Worst-Practice-Sharing on How NOT to Enter Europe"
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
puuh... the basic salary is usually decent.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
It is simply no fun to work here. There is no appreciation of the employees. No trust, no transparency, no real long-term strategy. Many political games are played.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Everything needs to be re-checked: Working atmosphere is really bad. Processes are not transparent, slow and inefficient. Company-office is rather boring, no canteen is offered. No trust in employees, e.g. resulting in no option to work remotely.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Significant cultural gap between Chinese and European employees. Lack of strategy, lack of clear goals and targets. No company culture defined, no company values. Company-news only spread via rumors and gossiping, not via official communication.
Kommunikation
No information shared with normal staff. Each department working in its own "silo", no info sharing. Many political games.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Despite the relatively bad atmosphere, most employees still try to create a good relationship among each other. But there are no company events, no team building actions... nothing.
Work-Life-Balance
Working remotely is not allowed. A weekly 5-day office-presence is required. No cultural or team events.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Decisions are based on political games, not on what would make sense. Relevant cultural gap between Europeans and Chinese.
Interessante Aufgaben
Learning by doing...
Arbeitsbedingungen
relatively ugly old offices. Large rooms, without anything fun or fancy. European headquarter has no canteen, no food is offered. Parking spaces are not sufficient. No cultural activities, no "soft benefits". Working remotely is not allowed.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
obeying the basic official laws.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Decent salary, but nothing else.
Image
image is getting worse and worse, due to high employee fluctuation, and constant changes of priorities and strategy.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
no such thing as employee development
