Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The international environment, exciting projects, great team culture, and the trust placed in me – even as a student employee.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
While my overall experience was positive, there were a few structural weaknesses. There is no active workers' union or formal representation for employees, which can be noticeable in situations that affect the workforce more broadly. Additionally, crisis communication during certain internal changes was handled rather poorly – information was either delayed or lacked transparency, which impacted team morale.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
In times of uncertainty or change, more transparent and empathetic communication would be helpful. Also, more interdepartmental exchange formats could strengthen collaboration across teams.
Also a workers union seems necessary for a company that size. Thats a red flag for me that this isn't given.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
I always felt very comfortable in my team. The overall environment was respectful, open, and appreciative. The international team made daily collaboration especially enriching.

Carnival Maritime has a strong reputation – both in the industry and among applicants. The connection to AIDA and Costa gives the company a particularly appealing profile.
Work-Life-Balance
Very flexible setup. Home office was easily possible, and personal situations were always taken into account. That said, for me personally, working fully remotely became demotivating over time.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
I had many learning opportunities and felt genuinely supported in my development. As a working student, long-term training options weren’t really relevant for me, but for full-time staff, there are definitely structured programs.
Gehalt/Benefits
The pay was fair for a working student, and the contracts were clear and transparent. I can't speak for full-time employees, but from what I saw, compensation seemed appropriate.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
There are clear efforts being made toward decarbonization, which is commendable. However, given that the company operates in the cruise industry, it's difficult to justify a full five-star rating in this area.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Team cohesion was excellent. Everyone was supportive, open, and even during remote work, there was a strong sense of helping each other out.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
No issues at all – respectful and professional across all age groups. Age-diverse teams worked together seamlessly.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
My direct supervisors were fair, open to feedback, and showed a lot of trust in me. Their decisions were understandable and well communicated.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Technical equipment was okay, including for remote work. Office spaces were also okay but a little to open for my taste. The location of the office in the HafenCity is amazing!
Kommunikation
Communication within the team was generally good. However, during critical company-wide situations (like internal restructuring or crisis management), communication from upper management could have been more transparent and empathetic.
Gleichberechtigung
The company embraces diversity. I never experienced any form of discrimination – quite the opposite: different perspectives were seen as a strength.
Interessante Aufgaben
The projects were very diverse and engaging. The collaboration with AIDA and Costa made many of the tasks especially exciting. Even as a working student, I was able to take on responsibility and learn a lot.
