This is an honest review of Vector Consulting as most of the reviews here seem fake
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The Facilities offered by Vector informatik are perfect especially the CANtine. Some employees also have access to a company car but even then management complains about the cost of company cars.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Almost everything is bad about the employer. Collegues quit and leave all the time then they are replaced by students or fresh graduates. The yearly employee discussions mean 2 hours of being screamed to and blamed for everything that is wrong with the company.
Top management is what's wrong with the company.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
The situation can only change if the top management is changed. They need to leave room for newer colleagues and brighter minds to step up.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
If the project includes someone from management then even though he's not the project manager he will micro-manage the rest.
Kommunikation
There is absolutely no communication and all decisions are taken vertically by top management. Even the managers have no clue what's going on.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Colleagues are actually nice and helpfull but almost all of them at the moment are looking for a new job. the turnover rate is very high. Most of the colleagues have only 1 or 2 years in the company. Since this from another legal entitie to Vector Informatik, employees from Vector Consulting are looked down by the others.
Work-Life-Balance
Overall there is good work-life-balance. With home office, colleagues and especially managers took advantage of the flexibility and barely work 5 to 10 hours a week. Managers are never reachable.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Managers cannot take any decisions. All the decisions are taken by top management and passed on by the managers to the employees including raises.
Interessante Aufgaben
This depends on what field you are on, the customers pushing and the micro-management makes even interesting tasks very stressfull.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
The consulting older colleagues bring a lot of interesting experience. I cannot say the same about the managers and the ones above :-)
Arbeitsbedingungen
Working conditions are inherited from Vector Informatik which are perfect! Nice working places, good food and very high-tech equipment.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Again The Vector Group takes good care of the environment!
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Salaries are low compared to other areas. They is an interesting bonus system but in order to get this bonus you have to sacrifice vacations and work 210 days for customers 20 days internally, 20 days in sales and 10 days in marketing.
Image
The image of the Vector group helps with the consulting image. However, consulting is better offered by competitoes like KMC and method park in this field.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Career progress is limited and only decided by top management. There is no progress, actually in the past year, some employees were downgraded to a lower contract class.
