Pros

None since they require you to do a task that looks like real work that the company is doing.

Cons

They ask you to do the test and then cancel the role by having the work done for free. Good business strategy for fooling applicants!

Dear applicant, we are sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with our hiring process. This is not the kind of impression we want to give out when looking for candidates. Since the acquisition by Jungheinrich, we've been undergoing a lot of internal transformation, which is what might have led to the situation you unfortunately faced. This is absolutely no excuse and we are taking appropriate measures to make sure it will not repeat, but we hereby offer you our formal explanation and apologies. As for the tasks we send our applicants, we believe it is an appropriate way of evaluating skills and overall expectations, both from our side and the future employee's side. You can find more information about this on our career page (https://www.arculus.de/career/). We truly hope you don't refrain from applying for a job at arculus again in the future. Kind regards Maria

Pros

- Diverse pool of in-house expertise to draw experience from; the field of robotics is broad, so you can learn many things that are relevant to you. - The working environment is friendly, people readily provide advice when asked for it. - The company cares about its employees - the work environment is modern, clean and ergonomic. - I got to choose my own hardware and tools for the job. - There's a high level of transparency, which I have not encountered before. The company's technical and business goals are regularly presented to all employees, everybody knows where the ship is headed. - Colleagues and management are reasonable and rational people - ideas are discussed and evaluated on their own merit. - This is not a company inherited from rich parents and ran by clueless people; management cares about the product and knows what they're doing. - There is plenty of freedom when it comes to choosing how to approach a problem, therefore there is always room for a personal touch. - Communication flows in the company are clear, it is easy to get the attention of a C-level executive if that is needed for the task at hand, and they are very responsive. - There are no attempts to micromanage the way I tie my shoes. Overall, since joining arculus, I raised the quality bar for my own output, not under someone's pressure, but because the work environment fosters such an attitude. p.s. this feedback applies to my own experience in a specific team in the company, "your mileage may vary".

Cons

Nothing comes to mind at the moment, but "I'll be back" if there's a reason to.

Very bad experience

Pros

Nice offices, great team, good compensation and benefits.

Cons

I don't agree with the direction in terms on Recruitment policies, the way I see it it's unethical. After an openly (according to my standards) racist commet from the management of the company, I decided enough was enough. Unfortunately I would not recommend it.
