I love coming to work every morning and collaborating with colleagues from all around the world!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Interessante Aufgaben
In general my tasks are varied and I also enjoy the freedom to take on additional projects whenever I want.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.

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.
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.
