This works well in the company

+ Great team cohesion + One is treated with respect by the employer and receives recognition for good work. + You have the opportunity to contribute your ideas and work on various projects. + Much freedom in the organization of the own activity, both contentwise and temporally + Regular company events to get to know employees from other teams + Many additional benefits such as participation in the sports subscription, cultural events, free parking spaces + Vision is clearly communicated + Great food in the staff restaurant, very reasonable price

This could be improved

- Salary corresponds to the tourism industry; you can't compare it with pharma/finance -> if the salary is the main motivator, then Viking is not the right employer. - Internal communication could be improved; employees first learn a lot of information from the press - Some departments regularly work overtime. However, this can (theoretically) be compensated with leisure time.

This works well in the company

Communication between the line and the employees needs a lot of improvement. Employees are treated differently, employees are also dismissed more frequently. Accordingly, the working climate is not very motivating. Social benefits and holidays are offered only the absolute minimum. Below-average pay and practically no wage increases.

This could be improved

Rethink how to deal with employees Fairer pay and better social benefits.

Bad payment, bad treatment

Former employee

21 October 2018

Working at the head office in Basel for Viking Cruises was not a great time. You get the absolute minimum in everything (holidays, PK etc.). And the pay is below average. The employer does not communicate openly, changes goals arbitrarily and expects you to be available 24/7 (for a normal office job without customer contact). Processes are not documented and can be changed at will. During my time there my holidays were constantly cancelled. I've never had more than a week at a time. Since everyone on site is like that, the working climate is catastrophic. The team excursions were positive.
