Verbesserungsvorschläge

Arbeitsatmosphäre
Atmosphere within the own team is always at highest level. Finding solutions with co-working departments are collaborative and respectful.
Kommunikation
General information is shared from C-Level to Head of's to working level but questions on specific topics stays open until the next company wide townhall-meeting is scheduled.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Truly each and everyone is working together and covering colleagues backs within the same team and partially as well from department to department.
Work-Life-Balance
vacation or parental leave are given but its not covering the over hours each and everyone at the company is given into. Even it is not officially communicated/asked there is an unhidden expectation to be available also outside office hours or even weekend/vacation.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Empowerment is given not only in tasks but also business decisions. Goals given from supervisors are not always matching operational circumstances but are not too far away from reality.
Interessante Aufgaben
Even tough given tasks are challenging and not monotonous however the workload per person is tremendous.
Gleichberechtigung
I have never seen a company such as SMART being that multinational and diverse. There is no place for inequality in regards of gender, religion, sexual orientation,...
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Due to start-up character of the company I believe the average age of the employee's is young leading to less people in higher ages. But for those older colleagues existing, there is no different treatment compared to younger ones.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Office conditions are up to date offering state of the art notebooks, mobile phones, height-adjustable tables/chairs. Room temperature is regulated via air conditioner or heaters according to weather outside. Enough light is given too.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
As SMART is not part of IG Metall the salary is not regulated through labor union but rather internal salary tables. The effort and times put into work is not matching with the money people are earning. Not the best but also not the worst.
Image
General feeling about Image is, I would rather rate something at 3.5 stars as SMART is not average but also not good as 4 stars.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Education is offered broadly for the ones seeking for it. Maybe not proactive but for sure if you ask for its. Languages courses in German, English and Chinese are available too.
To climb the ladder and boost your career there is not much chances at all as SMART has an extremely flat hierarchy.
