Diversity
At Wikimedia, employees with a wide range of specialist backgrounds use their professional know-how and expertise to promote the idea of Free Knowledge. Our fields of activity are as diverse as our employees: politics, fundraising, software development, education, science and culture, volunteer development, communications, events and back office and employee services.
What sets us apart
We’re proud of our collaborative working culture that’s guided by our values: participation, diversity, free and open access, equity, sustainability and respectful collaboration.
Fair Work
We want to make it easier to combine family and career, so we’ve created flexible working models that accommodate changes in the lives of our employees as well as 30 days of vacation (25 days for working students) and guaranteed comp time off for overtime work.
Social Responsibility
We support our employees with a free public transport ticket. In choosing service providers, we rely on regional suppliers and promote a resource-conscious approach to working materials. We use 100% green electricity, organic and fair-trade products, and recycled paper.
Development
We offer In-house training and professional development as well as free external life coaching (professional counseling and coaching on professional and private topics).
