This works well in the company

The working atmosphere is perfect. Flexible working through home office and many other benefits makes work a lot of fun. Supervisors see your potential and encourage it.

This could be improved

The processes are sometimes too inflated, which can delay the speedy work in everyday life.

Open and appreciative approach. Deserved 5th place at Great Place to Work!

This could be improved

At the moment I see no potential for improvement, as suggestions and inputs from employees are implemented wherever possible.

Excellent working atmosphere. Employees are appreciated. Beautiful modern workplaces and office buildings. Super pension fund. Possibility for home office. High quality products sold all over the world.

This could be improved

There are many helpful electronic tools available. However, it is not always easy to keep track of what can be found where.

This works well in the company

We have a very pleasant working atmosphere in the team and communicate openly and honestly. I think the mix of working on site and from the home office is great! You can organize your work yourself and are therefore extremely flexible, which makes work twice as much fun!

This could be improved

Suggestions and inputs for improvements are openly addressed and implemented where possible, top!

This works well in the company

It is a pleasant working atmosphere and the company looks to its employees. There is a good management culture and people value each other. Processes are followed, with certain exceptions of course. The conditions of employment are great and you can organize your own work well.

This could be improved

I currently see no room for improvement in my area or in other departments.

Definitely not an argument for a higher AHV retirement age

This works well in the company

As a customer, my experience is that the sales people and support engineers are working at their best.

This could be improved

If you are a bit older (58) but have over 30 years of experience in the field of industrial automation (engineering, software, project management, sales) and then you receive a rejection with the reason that the applicant will only work for 5 years anyway and that you have to expect a training period of 2 years. On the one hand, the honesty is to be welcomed, but on the other hand it will be more difficult for me to recommend Festo as a possible supplier in the future.
