Pros

Flexible company, great clients , scope to learn and grow, fairly transparent, plenty of talented people both onsite and offshore, good open atmosphere, Company encourages employees to be healthy by offering partnership programs with fitness centers all over Germany and smart phone applications, there are various training programs offered to up skill employees

Cons

Salary is average, European presence is not as big but growing, knowledge repositories are so huge that sometimes it feels like searching for needle in a haystack when looking for information, you might come upon a few bad apples in terms of coworkers or middle managers

Pros

* They train new grads, so you get a lot of valuable training * Depending on the projects, it has the potential to have a good life balance *Hybrid and Remote opportunity Will recommend to get your foot in the door

Cons

* Pay is not very competitive. Needs improvement * Depending on some client projects, the work-life balance can also be very bad * The culture is horrible, the outlook and appearance of the company is so different than what is on the ground—cutthroat culture, pushing culture. * Sometimes it enables a rude and disrespectful culture * Career growth is very minimal * tend to hire lots of indians, and an indian dominated culture/circle can make a non indian feel left out
