ZEISS Group reviews

The people who actually do work - get over loaded with work beyond capacity of what a hardworking person can accomplish in their 8 hour day. Then others in the departments - either sit on social media, paying their bills, buying pet supplies, etc - and texting with their other hand - all day - then the ones who are never at their desk - maybe if they were given a large work load like some get -maybe they would be doing A job.... there is a very large communication gap between managers and the workers. Many upper management - would not lower themselves to speak to you - with you standing right next to them. Very disturbing how they can actually act like that. I would never recommend working at such a place - RUN - believe me - it is NOT worth wasting your time. Get a real job - where you are appreciated for your hard work and effort and you can reap the benefits of getting a decent salary that you can afford to live on - very low salaries for most employees at Zeiss.

Work/life balance doesn't exist. You are given a phone and expected to answer it 24/7, 365 but will not be "on the clock"... policies and procedures are not enforced unless it is in the convenience of management. No growth opportunity for CSE's. promises are made to create career development paths, but 2 years and nothing has happened. The culture is bad, its just a lot of promises with no accountability. The CSE's are fine with working hard and putting in 100%, but the company needs to follow through and keep them engaged. Cross functional teams don't exist; no one is there to help out, its a self absorbed environment. The star performers are taken advantage of and over worked, while the low performers ride along with no issues.
