Fast developing company, passion for cutting-edge technology but suboptimal working atmosphere
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The offered service which is truly complex and enables interested customers to get a full solution. The potential of the technology to change lives.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
No clear vision communicated to employees, constant comparison to other sites of the same comparison while barely any exchange between sites (It feels like "others can do it but you are stupid here" but no/limited information which could help improve the performance is provided.), extremely CEO-oriented, decisions are made but no explanation follows (of course when relevant and at least at the minimal level needed).
Verbesserungsvorschläge
People should see and feel that their work matters. Overtimes and extra performance should be appreciated while over-performance should not become the new norm. Some basic rules (e.g. home office) should be the same for everyone and not dependent on department head's attitude - the company is too small to hide this unequalitites.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Colleagues with similar position in the company's hierarchy are nice and easy to work with. The higher the position of the interaction partner is, the more difficult everything gets - unclear and/or limited and more difficult communication, barely any feedback.
Kommunikation
The copmany has been trying (for example regular company-wide updates) but the information which really matter (and not just an image) are hard to get.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Within a department nice relationships to most of the colleagues and lots of support. Communication or working together with other departments is less productive.
Work-Life-Balance
Flexible working hours are definitely a big pro (but also nothing that special as it is nowadays kind of a standard offer in many fields, including science...). However, long hours have become a standard and any extra performances ("going the extra mile") have also become a must and are not worth any appreciation.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Little communication, little explanation and little feedback make it hard to assess own performance and grow further.
Gleichberechtigung
Positive: Definitely a company with high propotion of female employees.
Not so nice: People are treated differently depending on their department and role. Some positions are glorified, other colleagues get no attention and appreciation for their work.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Hard to assess as most of the people are rather young. Future will show.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Materialistic conditions are really good.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Nothing special - other than attempts for waste recycling - has been done in this regard.
Image
Not so well known company (yet). The image to the outside world is probably rather positive, the hapiness and satisfaction of employees is however highly questionable.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
A young company is probably expected to have fewer leading positions (may it be even a small team) however I see further growth (also mere learning) rather limited.
