This works well in the company

Very good employment conditions, top salary, YES, payout/compensation overtime, long-term account, home office, professional application process

This could be improved

Long paths, hierarchical, fermentative thinking, although an employer, each office completely independent, processes not uniform

This works well in the company

With the BVE - one has the opportunity to engage in meaningful projects for the population of the canton - there are innumerable excellently qualified specialists and a good working climate - the topic of equality and work-life balance is genuinely lived out (high proportion of part-time work, freely configurable working hours, etc.) - one has - assuming one's own initiative - quite a lot of room for manoeuvre in terms of responsibility and design

This could be improved

- the cooperation between the affiliated offices could certainly be intensified further - the IT support is partly resinous and partly customer-oriented (tickets are depreciated prematurely as completed/resolved, responsibilities for solutions are shifted back and forth)

This works well in the company

Collegial, appreciative working atmosphere. Good error culture, mutual support in case of bottlenecks.

This could be improved

Rigid wage policy imposed by canton, in particular lack of funds to really grant salary increases for good and very good performance. No active promotion of talent.

This works well in the company

- good employment conditions - good/above average salaries

This could be improved

- Outdated computer systems, hardly any interfaces - Nepotism (acquaintances are hired) - big fermenting thought - top management often no WB after basic training - Appreciation is often lacking - Work systems and management as in the 1930s - Build up a culture of error and criticism (especially among superiors) - Obsolete management system (service) - no possibility to have a say although it is of course included in all guidelines - Supervisors often don't control the PC and the programs. - Advertising for part-time work / but basically one should be 100% at the workplace

The canton is modernising, which has resulted in many exciting projects.

This could be improved

Speed and consistent implementation of changes should be improved.

chipping, meaningful activities; appreciative and competent superiors; high flexibility in terms of working hours and home office; good team spirit; creative space is larger than expected (I was previously working in the private sector for many years)

This could be improved

Decision-making paths are sometimes long, or many bodies are involved in the decision-making process, which is part of the Swiss political system.

culture of fear

Former employee

18 September 2018

The evaluation would have to take place at the office level and would probably be very different there. All in all, a culture of fear and zero error can be discerned. Loyalty is clearly placed above constructive thinking, perfection above courage and efficiency, individual work above networking. The employees are primarily serving staff. In many places, culture, processes and systems are as they were around 30 years ago. However, a (hesitant) upheaval can also be observed.

Top employers

Current employee

17 September 2018

I'll be working for the Canton of Berne for almost five years. Very advanced working conditions: Annual working hours, flat hierarchies, home office, can bring in my own ideas, I'm taken seriously and very good opportunities for further training...I'll start studying next year and even this will be made possible for me alongside my job. I can only recommend the Canton of Berne as an employer.

Attractive working conditions

Flexible working hours, home office, private life and work can be very well reconciled. Various internal and external training opportunities. Good social services and a fair wage. Those who make an effort will be rewarded.
