Mismanagement at the top

Office worker

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Location is ideal. Direct boss and colleagues are great to work with. Products look good. Some benefits are ok. Colleagues tend to help each other out of survival.

Cons

Too many cons. Germany leadership puts unattainable expectations and fires local leadership for failures. Causing new hire management to make extreme short term decisions that lead to damaging company morale. Depressing environment with high turnover with almost weekly going away parties. Employees trickle out when new and better opportunities come.

Focused on saving instead of growing

Pros

location is perfect in one of the most beautiful cities.

Cons

All what the leaders care is saving money, instead of investing in the company to generate growth they have been weakening all departments with layoffs and 7 years of wrong decisions.

Pros

Hard to think of any. Used to be a great place to work 20 years ago.

Cons

Management disrespectful. Many favorites which are the only ones that get promoted. So much dead weight and they remain here. Many changes were supposed to take place. The only change was a number of seasoned and well trained employees were fired. Nothing is fixed. Meetings and agendas to fool the parent company. No moving forward. A lot of backstabbing by management. Too bad. There is such low morale. Nobody wants to be here. We are all afraid to get fired.
