Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They allow engineers to do their jobs without interfering
have shown a very good ability to lead the company through drastic change in the transportation market.
Most of the leadership you interact with is group leaders, and most are very decent people. If you need something or gotta run to the restroom, most are willing to jump in and take over for you for a bit.
My team leadership is very helpful
Under my supervisor and my leads, they go out of there way to make sure we are okay and how that want to ensure that everyone is performing where they need to perform at. They coach and give tips and tricks to make the job easier. They are the reason I enjoy work
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Upper management need to put people and customers first rather than be exclusively focus on shareholders
Listening to the peolle who do the REAL work
Review from Operations Dept
Treat the workers as if they are important as well hold management to same standard as emioyees. Put the workers in a place to be able to Mecanic there money An the raise is not based on personal feelings
Everything especially treating employees who have been with the company 5 or more years not just recognition but raises they certainly deserve for sticking with the company through thick and thin instead of the new hires getting the good money they haven't even earned.
Everything especially recognizing the difference between harder workers and slackers.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Honestly, the best part is the quarterly attendance bonus and the end-of-year profit sharing. Both of which are good chunks of money that while not constant, it can help for building up savings or making the dollar stretch.
401k matching, vacation time. The benefits keep people here despite the culture.
The package is holistic, so there are many aspects to the entire package. From vacation to 401k, there is a lot that is offered beyond the annual base salary.
The 501k matching is good
It continues to grow, it's great
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Increased compensation. If you are in a software or electrical engineering area, you are underpaid
There is no stock program. Compensation does not match the local market. Lack of an onsite gym, mandatory return to work. Now they're taking away the free coffee. Constant pressure to do more with less but no focus on improving processes to address the root causes of inefficiencies.
Currently earning about $10k below most common market rate. Also performing job functions for the level above my comp grade without compensation.
No changes to WFH, bringing back removed benefits
More opportunities for employees outside of the corporate offices.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Good collaboration, supporting team members
very supportive of each other
They are knowledgeable and friendly people
Mostly laid-back working level employees.
Innovative Ideas and challenge's from Team
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
no incentives to collaborate to solve problems. Everyone works in silos and are afraid to talk about process problems. Blame culture causes people to be defensive.
All employees should be held to the same standards in areas where they have to rotate. Not let some say they can't and allow them to do as they please. Treat us equally all lives matter not just minorities relatives and friends .
They need to actually work more. They talk and gossip more than the actually work.
Rarely is Daimler a "team". More often people are on power trips and/or have political professional plans.
Review from Operations Dept
Stay focused on the project that everyone is meeting on. Don't use your subordinate's meetings to hijack it with your own agenda.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Good extracurricular events and training opportunities
we are allowed to make mistakes and allowed to take risks, allowed to work the way we want to.
People try hard to help each other
All things mostly needed to get the jobs done
Everyone knows whats expected so its easy to strive for goals
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The easiest change would be to allow remote work.
Embrace that remote work is here to stay.
DTNA really needs to look at their leadership team abd the leadership qualities they seek. I am not impressed with some people in various roles. DTNA is also bit very diverse with filling top roles.
Integrity, honesty, new HR group
Review from Operations Dept
It's a hierarchical, top-down, command-and-control culture. It needs to shift to a collaborative, generative culture to make it a place people want to work.
Review from Operations Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
Good questions. Derby deep derp
The person I met with was a good interviewer.
I HATE the video screening
Focus on technical topics and processes
Not your typical interview questions , they ask for personal experiences to support answers so rehearsed answers are not easy to come by
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Have domeone interbiew thst knows how to work
Review from Operations Dept
Base your decisions on actual participants instead of picking someone and then making others jump through hoops when you know you've already filled the position before it ever actually opened
What makes you most happy at work?
Finishing projects, customer satisfaction. Derp
my coworkers are wonderful and the campus has a good cafeteria at very fair prices
Free coffee and good cafeteria food
Autonomy, collaboration, respect. Tackling big problems.
Diamond trucks take care of us as mentioned
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Core technical products (trucks) are sound but support services and software are a mess.
New RTO policy next year with widely disliked increased WFO
Management dont listen yo workers they pretend to but in the end its their way right or wrong its their way
Review from Operations Dept
