MED-EL reviews

A lower headcount in the UK means internal role progression may mean looking to move internationally (although flexibility in roles / tasks mean you can influence your own career path)

The company is not able to handle such a fast growth in a short period of time. Nevertheless, if you want to get a career, forget about it. NO BETRIEBSRAT: by law, all the companies with more than 50 employees need to have a union of workers that defends the employees' rights, Medel does not have it. Horrible HR, their role is to negotiate your (low) salary and defend the company and its management. This means that abuse of power, workplace bullying and general harassment do not exist, you get fired for REPORTING that. Micromanagement over the top, the CEO has to approve even the small little things and encourages teams and groups to compete against each other on the same projects. This means that several teams can work on the same things without sharing any information, so they end up in a conflict, being afraid of getting fired if they "lose" the competition. The only one that loses is the company, that doesn't get the value that it could get if these people would join forces instead of repeating each other's mistakes in such a political environment.
