Shady management, amazing team
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The linguistic/production team has a wonderful atmosphere and everybody is always willing to help. Feedback is always constructive.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Lacking transparency (most people, including some from HR don't know about the freelance contracts for interns), salaries (for both interns and junior coordinators) and communication from management.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Work-life-balance is a huge issue. The workload for the linguistic/production team is ridiculous. There are way too many clients that don't pay enough/cost the team too much time. There should be less and well-picked clients and more coordinators and in-house editors. Resources should be managed more efficiently.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The linguistic team that I'm working with is amazing, everyone is friendly and always ready to help.
Kommunikation
Interns are on the lowest rungs of the company ladder, so we are usually the last to be informed about anything.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The team spirit is great and people within the linguistic team are always looking out for each other.
Work-Life-Balance
People have to do way too much OT, time management is a real problem and the team is chronically overworked.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
My team lead was overworked too, but they were still there for us if there was a problem. The higher ups - not so much... they were pretty ignorant to intern issues and seemingly not interested in solutions.
Interessante Aufgaben
The work is pretty interesting and the content very diverse so there is always something new.
Gleichberechtigung
Employees are very diverse and I felt like everyone is welcome.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Most employees are under 40 I think, but no one is treated differently because of their age as far as I can tell.
Arbeitsbedingungen
There is some flexibility with working from home (even from abroad), but in the beginning of my internship there were not enough laptops, so I had to use my own hardware when working from home.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Intern contracts are basically freelance contracts, so no social security and pay is abysmal. Starting wages for regular emplyoees are barely above minimum wage.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There is not much in terms of training for interns.
