Universität Basel

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

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".

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

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.
