Work/life balance is good. Recent decisions didn't reflect purported culture. - Senior Software Engineer Elektrobit Employee Review

Pros

Work/life balance is solid; line management does everything they can to prevent more than 40 hours work, and in general they are very effective at this.

Cons

There was always talk about 'family', but recently the company laid off 50% of their US workforce with no warning (in fact, they had been telling everyone that there was 'more projects just on the horizon'.) Compensation was slightly under industry standards (though the work/life balance was a trade off in my mind)

Dear ex-colleague, thank you for the constructive feedback! Glad to hear you enjoyed working at Elektrobit. As internally communicated in many ways, we deeply regret the challenges faced in the US team last year, including difficult decisions we had to make. We understand the impact on our team members and we value each and everyone, past and present, and remain committed to fostering a supportive environment and our strong global community. Let's keep in touch.

Pros

Truly the best feeling of "family" I've had in my career. The local management is outstanding and very supportive of its' employees, and respects work/life balance. Health care benefits were OUTSTANDING.

Cons

Unfortunately a major customer ended a contract and there wasn't sufficient work available for all "idled" employees. Need more diversification in customer base in North America
