Evonik reviews

If your supervisor likes status quo, then you move nowhere. Due to this, lazy employees with supervisors who like status quo, also can keep doing bad work, then taking multiple unjustified sick leaves and neglect his/her work without consequences as long as she/ he can talk their way, even navigating their PIP with no further issues.

Your experience is heavily influenced by who your manager and direct teammates are. I see that we do good things in the company, but it's in pockets. We say we offer tools to managers to share with employees, but many managers don't do it, don't prioritize it, or don't know how to respond to their employees' needs. This results in an inconsistent experience. I find that many people struggle to effectively advocate for themselves, which is a necessary skill here. People aren't going to show up and offer you a promotion out of nowhere, you have to put in the work, do a good job, network, look for opportunities, and ask. And if you're trying to move to a job outside your immediate sphere of influence, then you need to find an internal advocate to magnify your voice.
