Pros

Great Senior HR. Work / life balance is good. Benefits and salary are good in this area. Colleagues are great.

Cons

In one word: Management! The management of the US location is the worst I experienced in my whole career (10+ years). The focus on KPI's and the (their personal) end of the year bonus are the only drivers for the daily decision making. There is no long term plan / strategy and no focus on having a good, healthy relationship with the customer. Decision regarding salary, position and who stays in the team is based on personal feelings/relationship of the management to the employee instead of performance and credibility at the customer. Which makes partly sense, because the decision makers have no idea about the performance of the workforce (and they don't care). Besides that, they lie - to the customer, to the employees and most likely to themselves too.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. Your perspective provides valuable insights that help us understand both the strengths and areas where we can grow as a company. Among other things, we’d like to address your comment about managers showing up once a year with gifts. These visits are part of our effort to increase facetime and build personal connections with employees, particularly since opportunities for direct interaction can sometimes be limited. These moments are not intended as mere formalities but as opportunities to strengthen relationships, which we are continuously working to enhance and make more frequent. Creating a workplace where employees feel valued, supported, and see clear pathways for growth is central to our goals. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. Your input helps us shape a stronger Bertrandt for everyone, and we remain committed to ongoing improvement. Kind Regards, Bertrandt US
