Mixed feelings - Marketing Da Vinci Learning Employee Review

Great international people and culture.

Salary could be slightly better.

A truly lovely atmosphere. From day one you really get the vibe that people enjoy working here. The office layout is open and flowing highlighted by a large balcony overlooking the courtyard. There's normally always fresh fruit available in the kitchen and an affordable snack station. Numerous employees even hang out after work.

If you start here on an internship, try and avoid having your contract extension talks take place near year's end. It turns out they have a history of cleaning house in order to tidy up their balance sheet. The easiest/fastest way to save money is by letting people go. They informed me two weeks prior to my internship ending that I wouldn't be extended. About 4 or 5 others were let go around the same time. When I agreed to intern there, I was assured by all sides that it would almost definitely lead to a 1 or 2 year contract moving forward. I gutted out 6 months of a sub-par living wage just to be given the axe in the end.
