Not a good learning atmosphere - Intern Indeed Innovation Employee Review

Pros

Many of the employees are very friendly. There are some very experienced engineers and industrial designers.

Cons

They give the impression of a flexible learning environment but in reality there is little room to put you on projects that align with your skills or interest. If you like styling, then there is plenty for you. Don't expect to be working on anything thought-provoking, despite all the marketing. Interns are used as a low-cost source of labour for completing mostly repetitive tasks. In addition, there is zero client exposure and you will rarely be given real responsibility or involved in key decision-making. The design process followed is highly flawed. There is little user testing, the designers rarely ask each other for feedback and everything is highly assumptions-based. You will feel demotivated after your first week there. Finally, the intern salary is significantly below federal minimum wage and not enough to get by in Hamburg. There is a refusal to acknowledge this by senior management as they know that most interns are young and desperate. In conclusion, if you want an internship with a positive learning environment and where you will be valued as an employee, I would highly consider looking elsewhere.

Thank you for your honest feedback. It’s heard and understood. We are sorry to hear that you couldn’t find the right task within our actual project range for your skillset and weren’t involved enough in the complete design process to experience the whole picture of our client-related work. That’s our fault. We will pay more attention to that. But we always adhere to German laws and regulations, which includes paying minimum wage. We explicitly only accept mandatory internship applications and offer no internship to graduates. Nevertheless, Hamburg is a costly city and we will consider more support in the future. We take away from your review to pay a closer look at the learning needs of our interns in the future! So thank you once again.

Pros

This company provides excellent opportunities for professional development and career advancement. The environment encourages growth, and employees are supported in their career goals. The investment in employee learning and skill-building is appreciated.

Cons

While the investment in employee learning is evident, the compensation could be reviewed to ensure it is competitive with similar roles.
