IMA Automation Switzerland SA

The premises are very spacious and bright (the working environment is very pleasant). The company is innovative (we use collaborative tools of the IMA group) and the work atmosphere in the team and within the group is good. The opportunities to evolve and to train are very present at IMA. The management is open and very competent. I recommend this company to anyone who likes to work in a cross-functional and multidisciplinary environment.

Improve the rigor of use and integration of our collaborative tools to exchange data more effectively between the different sites and consequently improve the efficiency of the company.

The work atmosphere is pleasant and having flexible hours and 20% telecommuting allows for some flexibility. The possibility of being listened to by both managers and HR. Inter-company communication that allows for the promotion and recognition of the work of all employees. Possibilities of evolution in the position

After only a few months in the company it is not easy to give an opinion on what could be improved. The point that could be changed is the monthly interviews during the first 3 months. The one in the second month doesn't seem necessary if it goes well.

The work environment is very satisfying. The projects are varied and interesting. The general atmosphere within the company is pleasant. There is also good communication within the company about various events. The integration of new employees is facilitated by the integration plan and the election of a sponsor. From an HR point of view, the recruitment process is relatively straightforward and the staff are very friendly.

Areas for improvement relate to work flexibility. Time slots could be made a little less restrictive.

I did my bachelor work at IMA Automation. It was about the design of a mechanical system. I really appreciated the reception of new ideas, the debates around innovative concepts as well as the atmosphere among the employees of the technical office. A total immersion in the technical office (1 semester at 20% then 1 semester at 100%) as part of my bachelor work allowed me to enrich my knowledge considerably. The company is in the business of special machines, mechanical challenges are the daily life of the design teams who work in close collaboration with the automation specialists in order to propose a solution adapted to the demand. Sports activities are regularly organized in the company, which promotes contact between employees, I regret not having had the time to participate during my bachelor work.

For my part, the only drawback is the lunch. There are fridges however for a student the prices are quite high. The alternatives are quite far from the location of the site (La chaux-de-Fond).

Effective communication within the company. Welcome of new employees is well organized the first day.

Add employees' photos to the company's address books.

The general atmosphere is excellent The technologies used on our assembly lines are up to date the job always needs a refresher the management is very transparent with the employees

To improve the social benefits of some of the companies in the canton Develop the image of IMA in the canton and nationally to attract our future employees

Very interesting and varied projects. A technical and management orientation based on the search for solutions. A pleasant atmosphere and healthy communication between all employees. Attractive and flexible working conditions.

Due to the size of the IMA global company, there is a certain administrative heaviness that is characteristic of large groups.

The work atmosphere is unparalleled, solidarity, good humor even in moments of stress projects. No one is left to his own devices and there will always be someone to help or support, even abroad.

There will always be points to improve from one company to another, but from a global point of view it is a very good company where it is good to work, where the prospects of evolution are interesting.

Realization of very exciting projects The exchanges between the various departments

It is not always easy to be responsive in a large company but the problem has been recognized. It is up to all of us to implement it.
