avoid it if you can - Postdoctoral Fellow ESMT Employee Review

Dear former colleague, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate hearing from our current and former employees, as it helps us continuously improve our workplace environment. We're pleased to hear that you found our food offerings to your liking. Ensuring the well-being and satisfaction of our team members is important to us. However, we are deeply concerned by the negative aspects you've highlighted. At ESMT Berlin, we prioritize fostering a positive and supportive work environment for all employees. We take allegations of a stressful environment and aggressive behavior by our HR team very seriously. These are not in line with our values or the culture we strive to cultivate. We are committed to investigating these matters further to ensure that every member of our team feels valued, respected, and supported. Regarding your mention of a "slavery culture," we want to emphasize that such an accusation is incredibly serious and goes against everything we stand for as an organization. We do not tolerate any form of exploitation or unethical practices in our workplace. Please contact me directly (carolin.ludwig@esmt.org) to provide more specific details about your experiences so we can address them promptly and appropriately. We take your feedback seriously and remain committed to creating a positive and inclusive work environment for all. Sincerely, Carolin Ludwig Deputy Director of Human Resources ESMT Berlin
