Relying too much on external consultants, thinking a little too much in the "old" way

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Working environment, colleagues, internal canteen, relocation bonus, salary. They are trying to become a "modern" company.

Cons

Instead of hiring new people and train them they prefer to rely on external consultants, so knowledge comes and goes with the consultants. Also having few employees with knowledge on new topics often leaves consultants doing "whatever they want" with costs rising without tangible results. They prefer to hire interns and leave them home at the end of the internship instead of capitalizing the acquired knowledge and having people "grow" internally. Top management is often thinking in the "old" way.
