Salary: You start with a quite good salary after graduation, after that, nothing more happens. There are always only a few percent more.

Especially at the beginning of 2021, the whole thing, from a management perspective, was simply a joke. It is said that one must be cautious due to Corona, hence salary increases are later than usual. Simultaneously, the figures for 2020 came out, showing significant growth, AND 1700 new employees are being hired because there are currently more projects than employees.

The whole thing doesn't add up. 1700 new employees, but no money for fair salary increases (10% would be fair given the current situation) for current employees and postponement of the salary round.

Overall, the salary is poor. The positive comments on Glassdoor only come from middle management earning 80k+ per year.

For employees who started after graduation, things don't look so rosy.

At my exit interview, even HR was surprised by my low salary despite a Master's degree and 6 years of professional experience.

In discussions with other companies, I was offered between 40 and 50% more salary, which is why I also quit.

Reviews: If you want to get ahead quickly, you need visibility. What you achieve in the project is practically irrelevant.

In my project, I received confirmation of above-average performance from my project manager and colleagues, but my supervisor still only rated me as average because I was not visible outside the project. What this ultimately means is that internal side activities are weighted higher than the work in the project, which ultimately earns the money.

Those who want to get ahead must shout "Here!" for everything that is not directly related to project work. This means: you have to be at trade fairs, give presentations at internal workshops, or moderate internal workshops, etc. All of this, of course, in addition to the 40 hours in the project. If you do this, you will be promoted every 2 years and leave a good review on Glassdoor here. Those who are only above-average in the project and have no desire for side activities are not appreciated and usually quit. However, these are the employees you need in the project, not the others who just "shine" and only sell and present themselves.

Training: The training calendar is quite sparse; after 3 years, you have completed all training for your classification. Training is only conducted by internal colleagues.
