Most uncreative workplace with the most arrogant designers I have ever worked with
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 :)
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...
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.

The image of the company is really good and the name is well known in the design industry because of the founder Erik Spiekermann.
