Good working atmosphere, nice colleagues, good social benefits
This works well in the company
- Varied work - Ideas for improvement are very welcome - Corporate company with SME spirit - Further training is encouraged - Close to Zurich main station
This could be improved
Cross-team communication can still be improved in some cases.

Hierarchical and bureaucratic
This works well in the company
Most teams have good colleague cohesion and collaboration within the team. Most team leaders do well with their teams. Modern offices, good IT equipment. Home office, coffee, tea, fruit.
This could be improved
Very hierarchical. You sell it differently, but ultimately only one person is in charge. Very bureaucratic. There is talk of a culture of error, but in fact there is none. Mistakes regularly trigger overreactions. Efficiency is heavily weighted. Effectiveness is often forgotten or ignored. Employees should work as much and as long as possible. 42 hour week. Home office was introduced grudgingly and is only accepted superficially.

Air conditioned offices
This works well in the company
BVK offers a central location (10. min. from HB), air-conditioned premises and flexitime.
This could be improved
Not fair in terms of pay/benefits. Everyday life is very bureaucratic. Behavior of some supervisors questionable.

Concrete block instead of concrete gold.
This works well in the company
Collegial and friendly. There is an effort to be human and to hold on to staff.
This could be improved
The Real Estate division is not very innovative (of course for a PF) and too bureaucratic.

Clear procedures, enough settling-in time, very good climate, very moderate in terms of overtime/holidays, especially if you couldn't "refer" to them (there can be), good induction, HO opportunity, super PK (self-evident), transparency....

Friendly and correct. But not modern.
This works well in the company
The answers to my questions were clear. There seems to be a clear distribution of roles in the squad. At least my impression after the conversation wasn't negative. The position was not so clearly defined. Surprised me.
This could be improved
I see no need for improvement in the application process. Was a little disappointed about the "modern" workplace. Working behind furniture and a glass wall is rather old-fashioned. This was too thick. I finally canceled.

Unfortunately still trapped in the past.

Cooperation with colleagues in a team. The premises are modern.
This could be improved
More trust in employees and less control. Too many reports and outdated procedures block the workflow.

Many changes
This works well in the company
Free coffee, free water (from the tap), fresh fruit, mobility on site.
This could be improved
Employees don't count. Superiors take credit and blame mistakes. A lot is demanded, but little is given.

pity
This works well in the company
The workplace is modern and air-conditioned. The location is also close to the main railway station.
This could be improved
Little trust in employees. Cumbersome work processes and low fault tolerance.

Once and never again
Working atmosphere Fairness and trust leave much to be desired. The esteem is kept within reasonable bounds. Instead of searching for solutions, mistakes are searched for. Superior behaviour Social and leadership skills leave much to be desired.
