This works well in the company

Everyone at the interview was very courteous and friendly. Unfortunately, I saw a different side when I received the rejection. Honest communication seems to be a foreign concept for some people.

This could be improved

After the second interview on site, the rejection came by e-mail from a person from HR with whom I didn't even have a conversation. I expect an honest answer and not a standardized one. Too bad. I expected more from this company.

Thank you for your feedback. We have reorganized our feedback process for applicants, especially for those in the second round. It is now designed so that the recruiting manager reaches out directly to the applicants with the hiring or not hiring decision. I understand that you have invested time into the process and concur with your concerns.

This works well in the company

-Respectful treatment -Interesting environment & products -growth opportunities (medium/long-term) -Many new employees create the basis to improve outdated structures.

This could be improved

-HR feedback (response time) to job seekers can be improved -Communication top down still has potential for improvement. -Open company culture is still under construction. -Strategy, structure and processes are not (yet) very robust. -Tension field global and local priorities.
