Good Teams, but Poor Management and HR Practices
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Great team collaboration and strong technical leadership in some teams.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- Inflexible HR policies and the discouraging approach to salary negotiations.
- The move towards less flexibility (reducing home-office).
- Mediocre salaries.
- No clear growth paths / opportunies
- Too much focus on organization chart.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Improve salaries, transparency and inter-team collaboration. HR should adopt more flexible policies that support rather than hinder employees. The new management should increase the salaries and stop the threats (the kind of "if you don't like the salary, find another job").
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The working atmosphere within the team is supportive and collaborative. However, the overall company culture is hampered by poor inter-team communication and a lack of transparency. It is definitely getting worse here.
Kommunikation
The company with the new leadership became aggressive in its communication which led to similar behavior from some employees. Communication is strong within individual teams but lacks effectiveness across different teams, leading to silos and inefficiencies.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
There is good cohesion among colleagues within my team, which helps in achieving our goals and maintaining a positive work environment.
Work-Life-Balance
Work-life balance is adequate, but more flexibility from HR would greatly improve it. However, they are becoming more and more strict.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Direct management is supportive and technically proficient. However, higher management discourages salary negotiations and uses misleading comparisons.
Interessante Aufgaben
The tasks are engaging and offer opportunities for technical growth.
Gleichberechtigung
The company promotes equality and diversity well.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
There is respectful and supportive interaction with older colleagues.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Working conditions are decent but could benefit from improved inter-departmental collaboration and better HR policies (which are unfortunately worsening).
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
The company shows some awareness of environmental and social issues but could do more to integrate these values into daily operations.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Salaries are mediocre and efforts to negotiate better pay are often met with resistance and threats from the new leadership.
Image
The company has a mixed image, internally positive but often overshadowed by leadership's approach to employee relations.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There are some opportunities for career advancement, but they are unclear and very limited despite a lot of talk about a skills matrix and well defined promotion steps.
The company markets what is called Statista University but it is nothing more than a few tutorials on Excel and how to write emails.
