bad communication, low salaries for non engineers, toxic culture
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
my colleagues, they are really great, and I enjoy working with them. Other than that I cannot say anything positive.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Salaries and Communication!!!
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Improve the overall communication, pay competitive salaries for all positions, appreciate & value all employees, not only developers and managers. Offer home office support in form of a monthly/quarterly bonus.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
colleagues in Germany are really nice and very helpful. They are eager to move things forward. Colleagues in the US or India are the opposite, very political, always blocking, not sharing information. There are of course exceptions. Overall the work environment is OK-ish, but I wouldn't recommend anyone to join.
Kommunikation
team internal communication is fine. corporate communication, especially with the US HQ is a joke - very unprofessional. there are monthly meetings and some emails flying around, but the content is useless.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
my colleagues in germany are great. very helpful, even in stressful situations. communication with them is always very good and professional.
Work-Life-Balance
2 stars because during the pandemic we are allowed to work from home. But the colleagues/managers in the US are disregarding the different time zones, and they schedule late meetings.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
depends from team to team. in my case I was lucky with an OK supervisor.
Interessante Aufgaben
the projects and the tasks have so much potential, but because of the entire corporate toxic mood they are in the background, and most people fight political wars. I feel not much gets really done.
Arbeitsbedingungen
with the pandemic we work from home. the company doesn't support this setup in any way: no monthly or even yearly home office bonus, nothing. The 2 stars are because at least we are allowed to work from home.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
sometimes they have some campaigns, but they are mostly only for US.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
I started here many years ago with a normal salary, nothing out of the ordinary. In the last 5 years I only got 1 salary raise and I had to beg for it... However, they are very much engineering oriented, and if you are in an engineering position money is not an issue. all other positions in Germany have the same issue: very low salaries and talks about raises are blocked. Bonuses and other benefits are out of the question.
Image
the company is surviving because of it's past image, but it's not what it once was.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
no chance of advancing. everything is super political, and if one wants to advance they have to get really dirty and "cut the chair" from under some other managers. I see no prospects here.
