This works well in the company

Unfortunately, I cannot answer this question because I was not given the insight.

This could be improved

I was highly motivated when I applied for a desired position at Georg Fischer. Unfortunately, the interview did not go as expected in a first meeting. I found a lack of business etiquette for general rules of conduct and a lack of manners. The supervisor of this position put me in the dock within the first few minutes of the interview. With his scurrilous, sarcastic comments about my background and professional experience, the supervisor gave a clear signal from the beginning of the interview, that they did not want to listen to me at all. After I had asked the question - what they find interesting about my background and where the company with my profile sees the potential for itself (to find out why I was actually invited by GF) my question was unfortunately not answered. Instead, I received a completely unprofessional statement with absolute embarrassment. I decided to end the interview after 25 minutes with negative impressions of the interlocutors (HR & superiors). Apparently, the interlocutors have forgotten that they are also the representatives of the "future-oriented company". GF formulates according to job description to have excellent training tools for their employees. Therefore, I clearly see potential for improvement in the further development of their training tools for the "long-standing executives" in the company. HR should look at their onboarding process and culture. Because how I treat my employees & managers is how they treat potential new employees. Because a common corporate culture is the basis of the sustainable overall development of the company. Dear GF in times of shortage of skilled workers, you must not forget: It affects every company!" I wish GF every success in its search.

This works well in the company

Gf is a very customer-oriented company. They try to keep everything up to date and always have the latest technology. Good work is rewarded and company outings etc. are not neglected. Georg Fischer may be cautious about wages at first, but they are happy to pay for training / further education where there is potential.

This could be improved

The working atmosphere as well as the amount of work varies greatly from department to department. Some long-time employees have become too comfortable and enjoy longer breaks.

This works well in the company

The welcome was good and the safety instructions were clear.

This could be improved

A year ago, I went there for a recruitment interview in Geneva while I live very far away (it took me a whole day). The interview went well with 2 managers. Then radio silence, I followed up by email, by phone; a year after still nothing, not even a standardised refusal email.
