Pros

I haven't seen any yet. The package is not a big one. In theory I've private insurance, but nobody has contacted me about that. It is also supposed that there's a workplace pension, but I haven't heard anything about it either. 25 days of holiday leave, which is quite normal in the business. Commuting allowance. No other extras like gym, bike/car scheme, nursery or anything like that.

Cons

Cons? All, as they gave me a computer, a phone, and they boot me off the main offices to site. I don't have means to contact IT, because everything is in German and the only option for English is Google translate, which doesn't always work. Their extremely restrictive IT policy means that I can't install for example, Google Earth, which simplifies my job, and there's no option to ask for it, or maybe I haven't seen it because EVERYTHING is in German. I'm not even allowed to install extensions in Chrome or Edge. I can't install the drivers for the docking station either, so I'm stuck with a 13.3 inch screen. They gave me the option of having an iPhone or a Samsung. I asked for the iPhone, I received a Samsung. They monitor the internet traffic in the computer and in the phone, which I understand, but their terms are quite restrictive. There is more, but I can't continue because it's more personal and they could know who is posting this.

Thank you for reviewing us as an employer. We are disappointed about your list of negative feelings. We try very hard to build a friendly workplace and establish a nice onboarding process. Anyway, we are sure that you will get the professional job experience you really want from STRABAG. Please, contact your responsible HRC to talk about your experiences. Your STRABAG-HR
