Working Atmosphere
Departments complain about the inability of others, changes don't happen. You do your thing locally, global processes are too bureaucratic and far away from customers/market. Globally no interest for local needs. Collaboration of committed colleagues is not encouraged. New ideas are not welcome, but a lack of success, outdated processes and structures, too many open issues. Political fights between departments. Values are preached like a prayer in every presentation but in theory only, not in practice. Transparency is prevented!

Reseller, nothing more. The rest is wishful thinking. Partners see no potential.
Work-Life-Balance
Supervisor behavior, uninteresting tasks and work atmosphere have a very negative effect, in addition to time zone differences.
Career/further education
Non-constructive managerial behavior and uninteresting tasks do not provide a framework for personal development.
Collaboration among colleagues
There are very few honest and direct colleagues. Cooperation is not attractive and is not encouraged. Possible loss of power and control determines collaboration.
Supervisor behavior
Humiliating! One is insulted, lied to, threatened with consequences. Employees are silenced so that superiors do not lose face. Communication is insufficient, not open/transparent, not constructive. Ideas are not promoted for years.
Working conditions
IT equipment rather below average. You have to take care of better equipment/contracts/software yourself and then run after the reimbursement. IT department is always trying to catch up on the failures of the last years, unfortunately too slowly and far away from the user. Hodgepodge of applications, platforms and accesses. The classics of the "digital world" in 2020: paper-based travel expense management and payroll accounting!
Communication
Company level good. From (direct) superiors rather insufficient, not open/transparent, not constructive. Modern tools of communication are not used extensively, e-mail is still the in-transparent choice.
Tasks
Tasks are dictated. "We have done it this way in the past" mentality. Bureaucracy slows down further development/decisions. Innovation: None. Market developments remain unnoticed. People still try to conquer the world with Word and Excel. Ideas are not promoted and supported for years. Agile procedures are misused.
