Unternehmenskultur

Despite being a modern translation agency with young employees, the working atmosphere is rather heavy. This is because employees are usually promoted by seniority and not by competence, so team leaders often lack managerial skills and there is a strong tendency to micromanagement.

Important decisions are made by bosses and employees are rarely involved. Showing dissent is mostly viewed negatively and is unfortunately reflected in performance reviews.

There are very nice and open colleagues with whom it is nice to spend a lunch break or have a coffee. However, the practice of badmouthing each other is widespread, and a competitive atmosphere is thus established.

Overtime is not paid but is compensated with free time.

Unfortunately, many team leaders are not sufficiently trained from a managerial point of view. Important decisions are made without communicating with employees.

The tasks are interesting, but in some teams it happens that the most interesting jobs are only given to employees who have been with the company the longest. Consequently, even if an employee has worked for many years in other agencies, it is likely that he/she will still be regarded as a newcomer to the company and that his/her previous skills will not be appreciated.
