    What’s it like working at Konecranes?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    While Konecranes offers training opportunities when budget permits and some departments enjoy good work-life balance, these positive aspects appear to vary significantly across the organisation.

    Areas for improvement include enhancing leadership effectiveness, addressing the highly controlled work environment, reviewing remuneration to align with market rates, and strengthening operational support for front-line staff. The current environment appears to prioritise individual preservation over collaborative business growth.

    Do think it through thoroughly before deciding to join the company
    The good thingsI tried to be honest about it, but I genuinely couldn’t identify anything positive.
    The challengesMisalignment in Commission Structure The commission scheme was presented attractively during recruitment; however, the actual payout fell short of expectations after CPF deductions. Ineffective Leadership Leadership at the AM level appeared to be driven more by internal politics than collaboration, with frequent tensions across departments. Lack of Centralized Direction In the absence of an overall Head of Department, individual AMs tended to operate in silos, resulting in power struggles rather than aligned leadership. Limited Management Capability Many in leadership roles lacked formal training in people management, which affected team development and decision-making quality. Highly Controlling Work Environment Although autonomy was communicated, in practice the environment leaned toward close supervision and limited independence. Insufficient Back end Support Operational support from back end teams was minimal, requiring front line staff to handle extensive administrative works

    Not Worth Your Time
    The good thingsSome trainings when there is budget Depends of which department you are in. Some have good work life balance. Some are terrible.
    The challengesLocal management is stuck in the past. Everyone is more concerned to protect themselves then do what's right for the business. Generally a fearful environment. Salary is below market rate.
