Unternehmenskultur

In the European team, things have been going well, but the headquarters in China is exerting more and more influence over our daily work routines, thus altering the work atmosphere.

The communication between the HQ and the European team is very poor. Task areas constantly change, and individuals are pushed from one position to another. No one can explain why or in what direction the company is heading. People feel very powerless and insecure.

The colleagues are mostly nice!

The work-life balance isn't great. When something is demanded by the HQ, it's expected to happen immediately, without consideration for personal reasons. However, when it comes to the European team, the situation is quite different. Nevertheless, working closely with the HQ means being contacted even on holidays. In general, one is expected to always be available, which is challenging considering communication happens across four different channels.

Most of my team members have 10-15years＋ experience in PV industry but they are friendly, humours, ready to support and share. Although most are working from home now, and everyone is pretty occupied with their own tasks, we keep timely exchange and support to each other.

That's a challenge for Home-office and for a small team handling the whole european market as a Chinese giant's small baby toddling here in the faraway Europe. It takes time to get used to the company pace and culture, but if you are capable of adapting, you will survive, grow fast and see the improvement slowly happenning.
