This works well in the company

The employees are for the most part fair and friendly to each other.

This could be improved

Learning from mistakes and simply implementing the resulting findings without many unnecessary meetings "in year-long topic loops" does not seem to be in the company's DNA. Conflicts of interest between different departments are the order of the day. As a result, a lot of energy is wasted on "dealing with oneself". Those responsible, who obviously do not have the necessary basic knowledge, are kept on without questioning. The quality of product execution suffers dramatically as a result. Applicants for whom entrepreneurial thinking and goal-oriented initiative in the sense of "Swiss quality" are important should therefore think twice.

This works well in the company

The entire application process was very professional and pleasant. All involved persons took a lot of time to represent the company and to answer existing questions. I felt much appreciated and welcome.

This could be improved

Since I was very satisfied with everything, I can't think of anything I could change.

This works well in the company

I perceived the entire application process as very professional. After the standard confirmation e-mail, I received further information about the position (current status in the process, further procedure, ...) within a short period of time. At the first interview with HR and direct superior, all questions could be clarified, one could get to know each other and gain a first impression. It was clearly communicated how the process would continue and by when one would contact again. These deadlines have always been respected. The second interview was scheduled longer. Among other things, this is also to visit the factory, to get to know other team members and also to visit the future workplace. The whole procedure was super structured and supervised.

This could be improved

From my point of view, everything was done very professionally and efficiently.
