Creative Innovation meets Administrative Stagnation
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Top-tier international projects, excellent creative freedom, wonderful and talented colleagues, and a supportive direct supervisor.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Inadequate Conflict Resolution: The administration lacks solution-oriented communication. Internal issues are often personalized rather than structurally solved.
Lack of Transparency: Significant gap between the agency’s innovative branding and its rigid, non-transparent administrative reality.
Administrative Inconsistency: Final performance reviews (certificates) do not align with the factual high-level output confirmed by direct creative supervisors.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Modernize the administration: Move from a punitive to a professional, solution-oriented conflict management style.
Align Processes: Ensure that administrative evaluations reflect actual project performance and creative lead feedback.
Infrastructure: Install air conditioning in workspaces to maintain professional standards during summer.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The colleagues are the heart of this company. The teamwork is exceptional, collaborative, and inspiring.
Image
The external perception of a highly innovative "think tank" does not align with the internal reality of a rigid, bureaucratic system.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There is a training budget of €1,000. Employees are required to use their own vacation days for professional development.
Gehalt/Benefits
The salary is at the lower end of the industry standard.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
A strong contrast: While my direct creative supervisor was exceptional, supportive, and appreciative, the overarching administration/HR lacks alignment. It is highly unprofessional when final performance reviews (Zeugnis) are significantly downgraded by administrative staff, actively ignoring the expert evaluation and praise of the actual project leads.
Arbeitsbedingungen
No Air Condition during the summer.
Kommunikation
Internal communication between the creative departments and the administration is inefficient.
Gleichberechtigung
Gender equality is lived and practiced. However, there is a noticeable preference for seniority over individual talent/performance when it comes to administrative standing.
