Stay away - Anonymous employee Goethe-Institut Employee Review

No 401-K plan. No tax withdrawal. Two class system: German government employees getting paid much more and local staff with a local American contract. Management has mediocre leadership skills. Almost no advancement options for local staff. Terrible HR. Internal issues will be discussed but very few solutions from upper management. Constant changes in new methods and databases from headquarters in Germany. Huge work load in a few departments. Therefor sometimes difficult to keep a decent work/life balance. Limited paid parking. No performance reviews for local staff. No performance reviews of supervisors from staff.
