It's time to go - company rapidly declining since the investors have joined
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
toxic atmosphere
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Reinstate the previous home office policy
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Culture of on-going change and uncertainty since our new investors joined in my view. Annual identification of colleagues to be graded into the lowest two performance bracket is a reflection of the new PE hire & fire culture for me.
Kommunikation
Company seems to have a lot of resources for and trust in external advisors, while wage increases are quite limited. Typcially this is also communicated in a top-down fashion with no room for discussion.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Cuture of window dressing is growing rapidly.
Work-Life-Balance
Company wide policies concering one's work-life-balance introduced in recent years can be subject to changes anytime. Hope for everyone that nobody moved further away from the office.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Quite a lot of top-level and senior management changes on short notice in my view. Creates a feeling of permanent uncertainty and inconsistency for me.
Gleichberechtigung
Diversity only exists at the bottom. Top-level management is prdominantly male, 40-50 and white.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Feels like external new hires are valued much more than existing experience in the company. Amount of older colleagues are constantly decreasing in my view.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Bonus payments were late this year
Image
Recruiting team deserves a raise for still finding sufficient candidates despite our way below average employee satisfaction and engagement scores. All Kununu ratings containing more than just two words in the commenting section give a quite clear picture and sad level of recommendation IMHO.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Culture has become more and more toxic in the last two years. In my view quite a lot of unmotivated leaders from pre-acquisition times still waiting for their payouts are a huge drag.

Arbeitgeber-Kommentar
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We recognize that the transformation we're currently going through can bring challenges, and we’re sorry to hear that you’ve had a negative experience. Since the new investors joined, we’ve introduced several changes to improve processes and support long-term growth, but we understand that these shifts can sometimes feel unsettling.
On the Work Atmosphere:
We’re aware that rapid changes can lead to a sense of uncertainty, and we are working on making this transition as smooth and transparent as possible. Open communication and feedback are essential to us, and we’ve introduced regular Town Halls, All Hands meetings, and Q&A sessions with the leadership team to improve this.
Work-Life Balance:
Flexibility remains a priority, and while we have adjusted our hybrid work model to encourage more in-person collaboration, we still offer 40% remote work to accommodate different needs. We understand that finding the right balance is crucial, and we’ll take your suggestion about home office flexibility into account.
Diversity and Inclusion:
We’re committed to fostering diversity across all levels of the organization. Our internal communities, like zoofemme and Pride of the Zoo, aim to support an inclusive environment, and we continue to focus on improving diversity at the leadership level.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we appreciate your insights as we work to evolve into a stronger company for all of our employees.
