Pros

Cantine food, cantine food, food.

Cons

No culture of quality. no commitment to continuous improvement from management. no training plan. very shallow on boarding. company is not yet ready for setting up a supply chain quality management system thus there is no need for supplier quality management. Very shallow communication among the departments. Very shallow know how on tools used throughout the organization. Very vulnerable product quality management system. Not a multiculturally-multinationally ready environment. Very shallow engineering know how. Immature engineering documentations and still the supply base is intended to be shifted to APAC while the PQM is not yet supported sufficiently by engineering documentations and contracts. The product is over-marketed within and outside the company for what it actually is.

Pros

Modern and inviting cafeteria facilities. Strong colleagues across teams who genuinely work hard to make things succeed despite the challenges.

Cons

The workload is significantly high and not aligned with available resources. Limited communication and low transparency from SMT, which creates unnecessary uncertainty across the organization. Frequent strategic shifts result in a reactive environment rather than a long-term, predictable direction. Too many critical tasks rest on a small group of employees, creating a real risk of burnout and future turnover among top performers. The parent company plays an outsized role in decision-making and has absorbed the most important positions, leading to heavy, old-fashioned operational structures. The culture is dominated by a “do more with less” mindset that limits innovation and renewal. The company needs a genuine strategic reboot, not another iteration of the same old approach.
