Going through changes - has potential
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr im Bereich Design / Gestaltung in Berlin gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Friendly colleagues, team culture, interns/trainees also receive a fair wage.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Timing of communication from management. The sudden shift to prioritising German as the business language when we had international colleagues.
High staff turnover during my time.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Invest in supportive internal processes and team members. Implement feedback from colleagues.
Image
disillusioned over time
Work-Life-Balance
Mostly reasonable. Overtime could usually be balanced throughout the week. Some colleagues in operational and senior roles were overworked.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
No clear progression plan or initiative from the company to support learning. Before cuts, there used to be more benefits, like language courses and coaching.
Gehalt/Benefits
reasonable

Kollegenzusammenhalt
For me, this was the best part. Colleagues support and understand each other, and you look forward to spending time even outside of work.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
A lot of long-term colleagues left during my time.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Assumptions that in my experience were not verified with team members. Being blindsighted by decisions made by managing directors.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Overall good. Hybrid set-up 2 fixed office days per week.
In the summer it gets very hot.
Kommunikation
The majority of communication between project members worked well when expectations were clearly defined. Feedback meetings at the end of projects were missing, as you had to jump onto the next project.
Gleichberechtigung
Women were the first to seek out leaving the company when issues arose internally.

Poor Leadership and High Turnover – Better Options Elsewhere
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr im Bereich Design / Gestaltung in Berlin gearbeitet.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The overall atmosphere is strained. Due to widespread dissatisfaction with the management team and general working conditions, a large majority of employees are actively looking for new opportunities. This makes it difficult to foster a collaborative environment or seek guidance from colleagues.
Image
The company’s reputation has suffered over the years. What was once a respected agency no longer reflects its former image in its current day-to-day operations.
Work-Life-Balance
This varies significantly by role. While some workloads are manageable, others are overwhelmed. Particularly for interns and young people, there were instances of staying late due to questionable and inconsistent decision-making from the leadership/management.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There are very few opportunities for learning or professional growth. Due to the poor culture, most employees view the agency as a short-term stopover and plan their exit shortly after joining. It is not a place for long-term career building.
Gehalt/Benefits
The compensation is below the market average for design agencies in Berlin. If you have other offers, it is highly recommended to consider them for better financial prospects.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
While there are many kind and helpful individuals, the poor overall atmosphere makes professional cooperation awkward and difficult. The lack of stability in the teams affects the sense of unity.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
The management lacks the necessary organizational and people-management skills to run the company effectively. A short-sighted business strategy leads to a recurring cycle of declining performance every few years. Consequently, talented employees often leave of their own accord, while others are dismissed under unclear circumstances.
Kommunikation
Communication is severely hindered by high staff turnover and a lack of structured knowledge sharing. Information is often lost, and there is little transparency. Meaningful communication typically only happens within small circles of trusted colleagues.
Interessante Aufgaben
The quality of projects has declined significantly. While the agency may have had a strong portfolio in the past, there have been very few innovative or engaging projects in the last decade.

Die Firma hat eine Menge Potenzial, aber sie machen es kaputt
Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung im Bereich Administration / Verwaltung in Berlin gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Haben Gefühl für Humor und sind nett
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Last Minute Kommunikation, keine Ahnung wer was macht. Fehlt an Respekt für Mitarbeiters Job.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Management soll dringend sich ausbilden als Managers. Einige Management workshops brzuchen sie dringend. Und die Ausgaben sollte die auch mal dringend reduzieren.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Früher war die Atmosphäre super, heutzutage gar nicht mehr
Image
Sie hatten einmal einen guten Namen, und sie leben immer noch davon, aber sie machen ihn leider selbst kaputt.
Work-Life-Balance
Überstunden dürfen wir nicht machen, aber sie erwarten es doch
Gehalt/Benefits
Mein Gehalt ist zu wenig, für der Art von Arbeutsauslastung und disrespekt mein Job gegenüber.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Sie gehen zwar zu Demos, aber trennen noch nicht richtig der Müll, und kaufen alles was die wollen und reisen wie die wollen.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Die Kollegen sind super, und helfen einander.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Die Kollegen sind nett, egal wie alt
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Sind nette Leuten, aber sie sind keine Managers.

Great people and space to learn
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr im Bereich Design / Gestaltung in Berlin gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
ESPI is a great place for people that are self-reliant and have lots of self-initiative. Space is given to all to improve the way work happens. So the studio is particularly fit for people in the early stages of their career as they will get exposed to lots of different projects and disciplines. It is also possible to grow responsibilities, regardless of the seniority.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The company is undergoing a positioning transformation which doesn't always make it easy for people that seek stability to have a clear sense of direction
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Improve employee retention
Work-Life-Balance
flexible hours and few overtime (if so time gets compensated)
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Very much depending on how much each person initiates growth and learning initiatives but yes all possible if one asks
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Your colleagues are the best part of the job. Lots of talented and fun people that make the place enjoyable to work in and inspiring
Arbeitsbedingungen
Beautiful open space office. All necessary hardware and software is provided
Gleichberechtigung
Not enough women in leading positions

Most uncreative workplace with the most arrogant designers I have ever worked with
Ex-Praktikant/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr im Bereich Design / Gestaltung in Berlin gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Some great people, high potential.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
arrogant, ignorant and uncreative designers, as an intern I was really just an intern doing stuff the designers dont want to do, the agency tries to be creative but its actually not really...
Verbesserungsvorschläge
I recognised most of the people I have worked with already left the company! I hope that most of the stuff have written here changed since then. It can be a cool, inspiring and creative place but unfortunately the people I and other interns have worked with made the time there really bad :/ .
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The designers let us really feel we are "just" interns. They did not talk to us, didn't wanted to listen to us and just gave is jobs no one of them wanted to do. Most of the designers (who already left the company) were really arrogant and treated the interns like we are air.
Most of the interns did not have anything to do for months, but no one cared. Some interns even shortened their internship because they really did not like it to work there.
The company tries to be cool, and there are also some really great people (!!) but the designers (which left the company) did not talk to you if you were not cool enough, and give you shitty work. I was also shocked by the quality of some projects....
Unfortunately, I did not learned anything during my 6 month internship at edenspiekermann, like most of the others. I was really excited to work there but afterwards I was even questioning my future design carrier thinking about to work at a place like this. But fortunately, the experiences I have made afterwards in other agencies where totally different :)
Image
The image of the company is really good and the name is well known in the design industry because of the founder Erik Spiekermann.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Even as an interns you really felt that the atmosphere in this agency was not really good. Some people did not talk to others ad treated them like air. But there were also some really great, inspiring people, which I was really happy to meet.
Arbeitsbedingungen
cool office, good coffee, nice inspiration talks
Kommunikation
As a designer you have a buddy, who cares for you if there are any problems etc. but actually, the buddy of me and some other interns didn't care at all...
