Flexible work policy is not flexible, employees are required to be in the office 3 times a week. Upper management is not transparent in the communication with employee, the company meetings we have don’t give any clarity on topics that matter for the employees. Upper management takes some decisions to save money that don’t make any sense. Eg: reducing the offer of food in the office. But they still say the company is doing great financially. There was a lot of misinformation spread by company leaders when the employees were trying to implement a works council. That in Germany is a right by law. Now the bar for being promoted is excessively high. The requirements are so crazy that seeking a promotion is almost like having to manage two jobs at the same time. This year the work environment changed a lot after the layoffs in the beginning of the year. Now everyone has to work much harder and there’s a lot of pressure on the direct managers for performance. There are multiple mechanisms to collect employee feedback, but the real pain points are never solved. So it feels a bit pointless to have these feedbacks There’s very little diversity on the upper management circle
