I cannot recommend the company to applicants.
This works well in the company
The interview was very long (4 hours), some of the questions were very personal and had nothing to do with the job. I'm not gonna apply to Dottikon again.
This could be improved
Dottikon should only invite applicants who are really suitable for the advertised position. The interview should be shortened to one hour and should not contain any inadmissible, far too personal questions.

Design possibilities, interesting projects
This works well in the company
You can make a difference if you have the drive yourself. With the expansion, there will be more jobs in completely new laboratories. A lot of time is invested in the training of employees.
This could be improved
The company should present itself even more clearly to the outside world and show what all possibilities are here. New employees are needed more quickly for the newly created jobs.

serious appearance, but problems with the contract
This works well in the company
Structured approach (but surprising for the applicant), looks serious. Married and open information.
This could be improved
If you agree 42.5 h/week contractually, the long-term expectation cannot be 45 h/week, something is wrong ... I find it exemplary that one is pointed out (not all companies do that), but reprehensible that it is expected (contradictory to the contract)...

Es wird beim Bewerbungsprozess ein hoher Aufwand betrieben......................................
This could be improved
When interviewing for a job, one should not approach the tactic of talking down applicants... In order to keep wages low, for example, the shift system is also inhuman.... Further training is not possible with the system without further ado. There's too many companies out there to have to do this to yourself.

Challenge and encourage
There are many points where Dottikon is strong: you are very quickly introduced to practical work, you get challenging tasks in exciting projects and a lot of responsibility. The mood and the contact among each other are friendly and one pulls together at a rope. The equipment meets modern standards. People who want to develop professionally are given the opportunity here and can make a big difference. The company can look back on a long tradition and has been a stable employer in the region for over 100 years. A point at which, however, many employees with tertiary degrees are bothered: The annoying asymmetric overtime regulation. The first 2.5 hours of overtime will be cancelled each week, but minus hours will be counted from the first minute. If the management were to take corrective action here, employee satisfaction would undoubtedly increase.

Chaos
Worst company I've ever worked for. Shift model and pay, borders on exploitation, employees come and go because of working conditions. If a company has continuously advertised 20-30 jobs one should ask oneself why? Because most people don't last longer than 1-2 years.

look better somewhere else
Shift model is the last one, rather low. No recommendation. So please think carefully.

imminent danger
The company's got a hell of a personnel policy. The principle is, everyone is replaceable. In the company where I work now, people from there constantly apply, and I know very few of them, even those from my former plant. The staff changes quickly and the employees are burned with bad equipment and too high a workload. Very unfortunate, because the work there was otherwise always very exciting and varied.

luckily away
As shift workers, the conditions and above all the pay became worse from year to year. In addition a layer model (7/2) which offers hardly any recovery.

Those who get involved are rewarded - financially, but also with more responsibility and trust.
