Pros

The colleagues are generally friendly and very international environment. Remote working is a great plus.

Cons

The company doesn’t set employees up for sucesss. Everyone seems to want to sweep things under the rug and there’s a lack of harmony between the teams. There is a clear lack of strategy and leadership doesn’t motivate employees.

Pros

The team that I worked with was great - all skilled engineers, focusing on quality The management and seniors within the team were exceptional Good work-life balance

Cons

The C-level management have no desire for openness, despite touting themselves as such There was definitely a feeling of being spread too thin on multiple features, trying to cover multiple directions without a plan Culture and values were defined too broadly, with too much HR-speak that was void of substance

Pros

Cons

- no idea how to upsell current products and develop new ones - only C level buds are promoted/hired - not really a place to grow - Germans have more benefits than people from other countries
