Atrain Bamberg reviews

- structures and processes are not very defined - lack of long term objectives, but strong vision - fast paced, at points stressful

The employees are over-stressed because of lack of enough people. People are over-worked and this may appear as something positive if it is your first job but is not. You think that this is an opportunity to grow, which may be truth if you are in your 20s, but in reality the inability of the company to attract more experienced people, to generate more projects and then pay better its employees and distribute the projects in a more efficient way is what really misses from the company. The atmosphere unfortunately is still like a start-up. Instead of having already reached satisfactory levels of expansion, the company struggles to meet the demand. One of the reasons that no experienced people prefer to come to atrain, beyond its location, is some wierd psychological assessment centers that evaluate people based on a day performance and ignore their experience and cultural diversity. For many people that is even disrespectful. This is because they try to find people that "fit" atrain's culture. Culture is not one thing and very often it seems diversity and different opinions are not acceptable in this company although externally they promote exactly this. The moment the young people get experience they prefer to leave the company which again instead of creating an alarming situation, it just reproduces the same system. Many people working there that share the same opinion but nobody really talks.
