Avoid!
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The atmosphere is stressful. There are a lot of last-minute tasks and unclear instructions. Not a pleasant place to work.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Some coworkers are friendly and helpful, but there was also gossip and favoritism. Some people acted in ways that felt like bullying, and nothing seemed to be done about it. I am glad I am no longer working there.
Arbeitsbedingungen
They hire people for about six months before the event. You work very hard and go through so many stressful situations, and then they tend to fire people after 6 months.
Even though I got positive feedback from my team lead right before the end of the probezeit, I was still fired by management on my last day of probation. I guess they only want people for a short time to prepare the event.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
IFA is organized by Clarion, which also hosts defense shows like DSEI. I personally find this ethically difficult.
IFA generates a lot of waste. Although Clarion talks about sustainability, I did not see much real action. After the event, there is a lot of leftover electronics, materials, and disposable items.
Gehalt/Benefits
Benefits are very limited. No BVG ticket, slow computers, and no real perks.
