Working for Stokke Sindelfingen? Real review of the company.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Company could be so much more if the right people would take over.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Mentioned on top.
Lack of good communication from management to teams. Could be improved, but almost everything is kept a secret until the last minute. Customer service is left to handle with the „challenges“.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Most of the positive reviews in this page seem in my opinion to be created in order to increase the rating in Kununu, probably thinking they would make a favor to the company by saying that everything is „Awesome“, sadly this isn't true.
The company is not bad for foreigners who want to start and have a chance in Germany or young people searching for their first job, but only for 1-2 years to get experience, more than that is not recommendable. There are better opportunities better paid in the same area. You will start with a very low salary in comparison with other companies with no big chances of increasing it throughout the time.
Growing opportunities are very limited; there is no vacation, christmas, or any other kind of incentive for employees. There is one bonus plan though, which is very low and not achievable as it depends on other departments globally. Salary increasement due to excellent performance and taking over more responsibility is not going to happen here. In exchange for any good career perspective, you get free water, fruit and coffee, a parking place, lunch and gym discount.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Between colleagues ok, like in any other company.
Definitively you will find many nationalities here which makes it interesting.
Management will depend. On the very surface, it seems to be all-ok but I would suggest improving the professionalism in this department.
Rooms are sometimes not 100% well build, you can have days where you are freezing, others too warm, things breaking from time to time, in general office is cold, so bring a good sweater.
Birthdays, special events coming from the same employees are always good and have a positive feeling to it.
The customer service team feels undervaluated and the pressure received to fulfill the job vs. the payment is unfair.
Kommunikation
Not really good at department level and between Stokke Norway and Sindelfingen.
Most of the times last minute meetings with management or directors to inform the „news“. Between colleagues you will always get support.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
On the surface it seems fine all good. Like any other company.
Work-Life-Balance
Depends on you.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
On the surface all good.
Professionalism could be improved at this level, specially during meetings, not everyone is interested in talking about people who are not in the room.
You can definitively say your opinion once or two times, but you will soon realize that not many things can be changed, sometimes it does not even depend on the people in charge locally.
Interessante Aufgaben
Depends on the position.
Gleichberechtigung
On the surface is ok.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Not really that many people older than 40.
On the surface is ok.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Not the best.
Like said, good if you are starting your working career in Germany. Too low in comparison with other companies within the same branch and even in the same area.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Not the best.

Image
Tripp Trapp has a good image. Would recommend to take a look at the comments on social media to get an idea of the products.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Limited growing opportunities. The company is not that big.
The development dialogue could be a good tool if implemented correctly but most of the times is just a conversation that will lead to no results.
Chances to get any special training from a certified school, or entity are unexistent, no matter what they say.
