This works well in the company

Could not figure out what is going well in the company. Regarding the application process, it is not going well.

This could be improved

The whole application process of the Uni BS would need to be improved. Experienced application process: - Application submitted according to job posting and profile created in electr. application tool. =>Automated confirmation email received. - After 1.5 months without any info (invitation or rejection), simple inquiry by email about the status of the application to the specified contact person. =>No answer. - After 2.5 months without info, simple request by email to HR management (email is forwarded to HR internally). =>No answer. - After 3 months without info, request by email (incl. feedback) to HR incl. previous persons. =>No answer. Then (3 months 14 T after application) came a phone with many many apologies regarding missing answers and in a side sentence it was casually mentioned that someone else got the job. Until today (4 months), the electronic application tool still says "in process".

This works well in the company

Well organized and structured within the DBM. Good working atmosphere with colleagues and students. Relatively flexible working hours.

This could be improved

Partially obsolete approaches, especially as far as laboratory protocols are concerned. Leadership style questionable and in need of improvement or change. At least in my group, hardly any of the employees really agreed with the management. More openness for staff appraisals and changes would be good. Better arrangement of the workload especially for beginners.

This works well in the company

There was an application deadline and I think that's very good because you can usually get a good idea of when the interviews will start. I immediately received a personal acknowledgement of receipt of my application. The application was submitted by e-mail. The exchange was open and friendly.

This could be improved

Unfortunately, the entire application process took about 3 months. I asked after one month and received a personal and detailed answer. Apparently, the University of Basel has received a very large number of applications. Conclusion: Plan enough time for the application process. Suggestion for improvement: Shorten application deadline a little or give continuous feedback - 1 month is very generous if you consider that only after that all applications are looked at/evaluated. Or describe the application process more clearly so that the applicant knows what he is getting into.
