Pros

- Great teams and coworkers who really support each other - German speaking environment, good for German speakers - Pleasant working hours (Mon-Tue 8.30 - 4.45 with 1h lunch, Fri 8.30 - 4 with 1.5h lunch) - Great Christmas parties

Cons

- Terrible structures within the company, people at or below the executive level are treated like third-class employees - Very poor feedback and no appreciation for hard-working employees - Growth opportunities are only for a selected few - No room for new ideas, conservative attitude; suggestions for improvement are generally discouraged (as long as it is not about kitchen equipment) - Lack of communication between employees at different levels and teams, making people forget that they are all in the same boat - Work atmosphere is negative and repressive at times, people just keep their heads down and do not dare to speak freely - Some directors have terrible management skills and behave horribly towards subordinates, stifling talented individuals instead of supporting them - Very high turnover rate of employees, many quit within their first year - HR and board members have been made aware of the situation on numerous occasions but have not made any changes
