Previous speaker of interesting product; however, tendency strongly downward, has actually brought everything to the point. It works well In principle, an exciting product, good ideas available at employee level, timely wage payments, bridges on holidays, approaches to automation and digitization at least available (is in its infancy), Ceratizit tools, conventional machines for fixture construction. This could be improved dilapidated machinery, acute shortage of skilled workers, forced degradations, forced transfers, layoffs, continuous dismissals, young employees massively underpaid, unpleasant autocratic management style, false statements during job interviews, constant "skipping work", continuous medium- to long-term illnesses of setters and operators, bad investments in measuring systems and robot handling, "permanent construction site", nepotism, lack of training for mechanics,...

Production employees have a great time together, the rest has already been said by the previous speakers.

As a young, dynamic Plansee employee, I take my hat off to my employer. The company is constantly changing, and improvements to processes and plants are constantly being made. Time doesn't stand still at Plansee and the constant flow offers a varied working environment. Short official channels ensure faster decisions, a system for making suggestions for improvement has been implemented and is accessible at all times. Supervisors also actively address the suggestions and check them for standardization opportunities beyond their own areas. Digitisation has been boosted in the company and step by step paper is being replaced, work processes simplified and shortened - simply KVP (continuous improvement process). Compared to my previous employers, the working atmosphere is extremely pleasant and you can talk to any man (even managers!) at any time, if necessary. The working hours are top - a high degree of flexibility is to our advantage here. Thanks to a catch-up time account, there is no need to take a holiday even for bridge days. Also here: Communication with superiors increases flexibility when you have to attend appointments that do not take place at off-peak hours. If you want to be encouraged and challenged and have the potential to do so, there are no obstacles in your way. Together with the employees, the employer works out specific development programs for the respective employees with milestones and regular feedback. I personally do not understand the previous comments and cannot confirm them at all from my point of view. Once again: Bravo Plansee - my absolute favorite among three employers. Keep up the good work!

There is potential for improvement in the area of communication. As in any other company, people are at work here - where people communicate, mistakes happen - just like in a game of Chinese whispers, information is lost or misinterpreted. This is a topic that is present throughout the entire process, from the operator to the management. Compared to my previous two employers, I can only say: Bravo Plansee! This is where communication takes place and you are welcome to come and talk to us. But you also have to look for it - this always applies to both employees and employers. So a very small shortcoming - we are whining here on a high level.

I have been working at Plansee Powertech as a CNC fitter for several years and can say that I like my job. The working hours are pleasant. 8h15min fixed. After that, it's off. When there's a lot of work, you're asked if you want to work on Saturdays. It's voluntary. I find the direct superiors (shift supervisors, area managers) pleasant. In principle, they are open to ideas and suggestions. (Heist naturally not that with us a desire concert takes place.) The top executives are sometimes not on the same wavelength and sometimes allow themselves a blunder. However, I have the impression that the division managers are trying to create a pleasant climate. I can't confirm what other commentaries say about bullying. If that's how anyone felt, I'm sorry for them. We get along well with each other, especially among the fitters and the operators. Of course we don't always see at eye level, but that's simply human.

In my opinion our biggest problem at the moment is a lack of experience. Some people with a lot of expertise left while many retired at the same time. The on-the-job training is a little too short. Therefore, the work can sometimes be overwhelming.
