This works well in the company

In some units the hires are getting more agile and modern.

This could be improved

The company faces significant organizational challenges. Each unit operates with its own structure and communication practices, resulting in limited cohesion across the business. As a privately held, family-owned firm, the organization lacks some of the business rigor typically associated with publicly listed companies. Its strategy appears outdated, and there are notable gaps in management capabilities. The company continues to rely heavily on its reputation and successes from more than two decades ago, rather than evolving to meet current market demands.

This works well in the company

The flow of information in House is constantly increasing, whether via e-mail, internal tools or at events, where there is always an exchange with various teams. Great working atmosphere despite the open-plan office.

This could be improved

Cool possibilities to get involved in the offer creation etc. but unfortunately a lot of knowledge is lost in important places. Several employees with a "no interest attitude" lead to the fact that no one takes responsibility for changes that affect the offer / product.

This works well in the company

I can't say anything about this. I discontinued the application process early on.

This could be improved

I applied for a position that would be in my area of expertise. Unfortunately, the first interview was so unfriendly and unsympathetic that I have no desire to have a follow-up interview.
