Verbesserungsvorschläge

I would recommend InterNations to continue its efforts to be as eco-friendly as possible. InterNations should also continue to keep up the good work by offering feedback rounds to its team members and making sure that all suggestions are taken on board or at least considered.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

I am happy with the working atmosphere at InterNations. The company praises itself on being an organization with flat hierarchies, and I definitely feel confident to approach and talk to anyone in the office, from intern all the way up to team leads, department heads and the CEOs themselves.

There are a lot of feedback rounds where you can evaluate both your own performance and that of your supervisor. I'm also regularly encouraged to provide feedback whenever the need arises.

Image

I absolutely love and commend the work that our Content & Communications team is doing to ensure that we have really great videos about both member stories and team members working for InterNations.

Work-Life-Balance

Since the introduction of our home office policy last year, my work-life-balance has significantly improved. I am now in a position where I have the security of knowing that if an emergency pops up, I can spontaneously take a day of home office. I am also able to take extended periods of home office if I give my supervisor some notice. This is such a great relief for so many of the expats that work at InterNations, because it's often a struggle to juggle your annual leave days between going on vacation and visiting friends and family back home.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

There are a lot of different things that are offered to me, such as workshops and also individual trainings based on my needs. I have completed several online courses and they proved very helpful for my daily work.

Gehalt/Sozialleistungen

In recent times I have noticed that my supervisor and management in general have made the salary topic much more transparent, especially in the last official feedback talk of the year. I also think this entirely depends on what team you're working in.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

I'm really happy that InterNations is finally taking the topic of sustainability seriously. I do, however, think that we have a long way to go before we can call ourselves a green/eco-friendly company. It's a great shame that there's still not the possibility to recycle plastic waste.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

As mentioned in "Arbeitsatmosphäre", I really enjoy working with both my direct colleagues and also collaborating with team members in other departments and have never encountered any issues when doing so.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

I really like how work anniversaries are now displayed on our Confluence start page. It's really great to see long-standing team members celebrated!

Vorgesetztenverhalten

I have a very pleasant working relationship with my supervisor, and thanks to the regular feedback rounds on offer, I have the possibility to bring up anything that's bothering me if necessary.

Arbeitsbedingungen

The office can get quite hot and stuffy in the summer, but since last year we now thankfully have portable air con units in each room to make things more comfortable!

Kommunikation

Since the introduction of Slack, team communication has greatly improved and there are now a huge number of additional possibilities to reach out to individual team members or departments as a whole. We also have a Confluence space that provides a lot of really useful information about company-wide topics, as well as the latest updates with the individual departments.

Gleichberechtigung

In general I feel like there is a great gender balance here at InterNations, although it would be great to see more female developers.

Interessante Aufgaben

In general my tasks are varied and I also enjoy the freedom to take on additional projects whenever I want.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

This would turn into a multiple pages text so just read the things I stated above

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Not ideal at all. Given the legacy and the questionable state of the techstack, it's no wonder that barely anyone is really enjoying working on it. The scattered setup of the teams in tiny single offices across two separate buildings is not helping. Also, you barely find talented and motivated people at InterNations unfortunately, so don't expect to learn a lot unless you're just starting your career. If you look for a challenge and personal development, keep looking.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Colleagues were quite nice, at least in Product and Development. You don't really get in touch with other departments so everyone pretty much stays within their field.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Vorgesetztenverhalten

My superior was great, although I know that that was a lucky exception.

Arbeitsbedingungen

One of the worst parts. The office situation is literally horrible and for what ever reason, they decided not to change it. When I was there, the company was planning to relocate but last minute decided against it. I get that Munich is expensive, but these offices are actually so bad that I couldn't wait to get out of there. Tiny, dark single offices! 4 people crunched into 15qm. Outdated, crappy laptops, poor monitors. Bad! No place to relax, nothing nice or beautiful, coffemachines from 1997 that are constantly broken, no goodies, nothing

Kommunikation

None, literally. Especially not from management.

Gleichberechtigung

Most important positions are filled with men, don't expect to make a career here.

Arbeitgeber-Kommentar

Dear former colleague,

Thank you very much for leaving your open and honest review — we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.

We would first of all like to thank you for your positive comments regarding our work-life balance, and are happy to hear that that you had a great experience with your supervisor and fellow colleagues in Product and Development. You did, however, mention that you didn’t have that much contact with other departments, and that you felt isolated from the rest of the company being in a separate office. This is something that we are fully aware of, and in recent times we have introduced several initiatives to bridge the gap between the two buildings, as well as continue to plan for the future setup of the InterNations offices.

With regards to long or unnecessary meetings, this is also something that we have tackled last year. Several of our team members from all different positions worked very hard on our “Meeting Culture” initiative, which has already produced some very positive results company-wide. Many feel that there are less meetings, and that there is much more structure and purpose to the ones that now take place — not to mention that we recently replaced all of our coffee machines so we can now also enjoy our new-found love of coffee in them!

Finally, we would love to address the topic of social awareness. You are absolutely correct that in previous years, InterNations was not doing enough to reduce people’s awareness of what’s happening to our planet, but also to reduce our own carbon and plastic footprints. This has thankfully changed with the introduction of our “Sustainability – Responsibility – Impact” initiative. We are now working tirelessly to ensure that we are not only a carbon neutral company by the end of 2020, but that all team members are provided with alternative ideas and resources in order to ensure an eco-friendly work environment for years to come.

We once again thank you for your honest words about your experience with us. If there’s anything else we can do for you, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us by email if you are comfortable doing so. We’d love to clarify further any of your points mentioned or anything else that you have in mind.

All the very best,
Your InterNations HR Team

Lieber ehemaliger Kollege/Liebe ehemalige Kollegin,

Ich möchte mich zunächst für dein Feedback bedanken. Als Unternehmen bemühen wir uns, eine angenehme und offene Arbeitsatmosphäre zu schaffen, in der Kritik geäußert werden kann und ernst genommen wird. Es tut uns natürlich leid, dass wir deine Erwartungen an deine Aufgaben hier nicht erfüllen konnten. Es ist aber auch schade, dass deine Kritikpunkte nicht schon zu einem früheren Zeitpunkt zur Sprache kamen, denn wir hätten gerne die Chance genutzt, um etwas zu ändern und deine Erfahrung in unserem Unternehmen positiver zu gestalten.

Great International Team and Easygoing Corporate Culture with Some Room for Improvement

Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung für dieses Unternehmen gearbeitet.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

* Integrate education and training measures into personal job profiles and skills development
* Try to improve retention rate by offering better options for long-term careers
* Maybe rethink salary levels / general perks to remain attractive for new people in an expensive city like Munich

Arbeitsatmosphäre

The general atmosphere and the team spirit are two of the things I value most about working at InterNations. Of course, we now have at least 20 different teams across the entire company, so I can only speak for mine: I'm generally happy with the relaxed atmosphere at the office, the fact that I can work mostly independently, and my smart, helpful, and friendly colleagues. If anything, the only issue I see is us sometimes being too friendly and relaxed -- many of us are so used to working with each other that we probably don't notice some "blind spots" (i.e. room for potential improvement) anymore. But that's really what the Germans call "Jammern auf hohem Niveau". :) The team events for the entire company are also well organized and usually a lot of fun.

Work-Life-Balance

In my team, working additional hours is rare for anyone not in a team lead / management position. If you are a regular employee or an intern, you usually have more or less regular office hours. If there's an important deadline, everyone does stay longer if necessary, but that's the exception rather than the rule. However, I think it's a bit sad that things like flexible working hours, home office, or making up for the occasional evening spent at the office mostly depend on your supervisor's goodwill. Personally, I haven't got any issues with the way it's been handled informally in our team, but it would be nice to show greater appreciation for flexibility with an official company-wide policy.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

I really appreciate that we do have regular offers in the form of monthly lectures and workshops, as well as free German lessons for our non-German employees. But I think further education and training options need to be a lot better integrated into personal skills development and career path planning.

Gehalt/Sozialleistungen

Okay for regular employees, I guess. Can't say anything about salary on management level, obviously. Considering that this is Munich, the salary might be a bit better, but I honestly can't say whether this is due to the actual salary or to the plain crazy living costs around here (esp. for new arrivals facing the local rental market for the first time!). I really like having a sponsored company pension plan, though.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

I think some people in this company really care about topics like sustainability or CSR, but I also miss some more large-scale efforts and active, structural commitment to such causes.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

See my comment on "Arbeitsatmosphäre" above.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

This is the one aspect of diversity that we fall definitely short of. I think we only have a handful of employees aged 45 or older. Quite a few positions are entry-level jobs, and there doesn't seem to be much interest in retaining people for a long-term career track.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Again, that probably depends on your direct supervisor, but mine has never been anything but clear in communication, constructive in giving feedback, and helpful in difficult situations.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Could be worse, but could also be better. I know that the ongoing search for new office space for a growing company is very difficult in Munich, but our current location is not ideal. Working in two buildings hampers internal communication (see above); one of the buildings is also lacking a proper reception area, stricter security measures, and air-con in summer. The office has really good transport connections (for which I'm very grateful) and lots of shops, banks, fast food joints etc. nearby, but the neighborhood is kind of loud and a bit dodgy. Our team lodge is really comfy and stylish, though, but still, I'm looking forward to what another, larger, office in a different neighborhood might look like.

Kommunikation

My rating for communication really depends on the level within the company organization that we are talking about. Within our team, we have at least one weekly meeting to keep us informed of what's going on and what everyone is working on (plus the usual gossip in the office kitchen), so no complaints there. On a horizontal level, it's hard to know for half the company what the other half is working on: different departments are located in two separate buildings, and I think this has really hindered the informal information flow. The monthly team meeting with its short official update is really not enough in that respect. Vertically, I think quite a bit of information can get lost in the "trickle down effect" from upper management, too, so that's another reason why there's only three stars out of five.

Gleichberechtigung

We are a very international company, so we probably do better than plenty of other businesses when it comes to national, linguistic, or ethnic diversity. (I say "probably" since I might be the wrong person to judge such a sensitive issue, but I haven't become aware of anything obviously negative in this regard.)

I do feel more at ease when talking about gender, though. I think I can safely say that ours is definitely not a hostile work environment, but I miss a certain commitment to active support and development in that respect.

Interessante Aufgaben

That depends a lot on your job and responsibilities. My position has sort of accrued a lot of different tasks over time, which I have rather enjoyed in terms of variety, so I'd say I'm generally satisfied with this aspect of working here. But there are some other positions in other teams which I can imagine to quickly become repetitive and which are best regarded as temporary entry-level jobs for recent graduates.

Dear colleague,

Thank you very much for giving such detailed and thoughtful feedback. We really appreciate how much time and effort you put into your review!

We are pleased to hear that you are satisfied with so many aspects of working at InterNations. We are very happy to hear that you enjoy the relaxed working atmosphere, the team spirit, and our team events.

As for the areas where you see room for improvement, you have made several very good points. Thank you for sharing them, as it’s important for us to know which issues our team members see as priorities.

We agree that we could do more to offer better training opportunities for each team member. We are currently working on providing a clear overview of available opportunities and making them more individualized based on the job position.

We completely agree with you that we need a new office building! We’ve been growing so fast over the past few years, which gives this even higher priority. Our CEOs are working hard to find the right place, and we all hope that we can move in soon!

All the best,
Lisa
