There is a very clear line between an intern and a full-time employee, aka, interns don't get big responsibility and are refused for certain data access even if it's relevant for work. Although interns are "considered as interns" very explicitly, they don't get the mentorship they need in contrast. Whoever volunteers as mentors don't fulfil their responsibility and leave the interns struggling through everything. Colleagues fluctuate in quality. Reliable people exist but there is a considerable amount who just don't get stuff done and sometimes even leave the responsibility to interns... The company is new but the culture is very old and stubborn. Reluctant to changes even when it's visibly better than the current rules. The reason we get is always "Because back in Nuance we did it like so" Like to promise but never fulfilled anything, the agile methodology and management is a mess. Planning is not realistic and cause extra work on the developer. No trust from the management side, always telling developers what to do and never ask our opinion when changing the tools WE use!

- no clear view of the goals and strategy, - no focus on employees growth and development, - lack of professional management skills, - reactive behaviour with no wish to change (constant chase and firefighting), - overall culture and ethics are questionable
