Pros
A lot of vacation days per year.
Cons
1. Low salaries. They will tell all about the magical salary assessment software they use, yet the salaries are consistently below market average. 2. No JobRad or public transportation ticket. Ancient hardware. 3. Constant flow of layoffs. 4. Disregarding years spent in the company and all the achievements, be prepared to be replaced when your department is put to focus. Observations: the company is not product-centric. It’s even stakeholder or client-centric. It is CEO-doing-his-doings-centric, with primary focus on personally getting more VC money. And when something seems important, CEO doesn’t trust his own employees, he either outsources them, or replaces entire departments. This is the only sensible explanation for what is going on in the company. Veterans got laid off without telling anyone with new people to replace them. C-levels spend tons of money on outsourcing what could’ve been done internally, and spend even more on never editing shopping spree of other companies just to add their performance to their own and please investors. And then tender deals are lost due to low quality product, outsourced topics are a waste of money and never get finished, VC require profitability, and then layoff after layoff. If that’s the norm, no wonder Germany has such slow digitalization process.
