Pros

The SRL Berlin team is a diverse (yet predominantly male) team of different cultural backgrounds, hacking skillsets, and consulting focuses. The different teams' focuses range from red team engagements, large scale change management and pentesting to code reviews, device testing and maturity reviews. The team leads make sure that projects remain diverse and challenging. This way, you're rarely bored and regularly challenged. When not-so-cool tasks are up, the leads create a good atmosphere and make sure that the next project is more interesting. Most importantly, there is a very family-style atmosphere without the macho behaviour you often times find in IT. SRL is actively looking to increase diversity by reaching out to different backgrounds. In terms of international und intercultural diversity, there is great success. The active outreach to females will hopefully be even more successful in the future.

Cons

This is not a company for lazy people.

Pros

Some teams may offer interesting projects if you’re in the right department

Cons

- I received no feedback, onboarding, or training from myteam lead, who was largely absent. Despite being on probation and new to the company, I was left to "figure it out" alone, with zero guidance. - Although the company claims to value diversity, English-speaking employees are at a clear disadvantage. Internal communication during team events often defaulted to German, leaving me isolated. - One team member frequently engaged in toxic behavior: miscommunicating tasks intentionally, speaking negatively about others (including me) to management behind closed doors, and consistently creating unnecessary conflict. This person attempted to undermine my credibility, and unfortunately, their behavior was ignored by leadership. - I faced resistance in accessing necessary tools and resources to do my job. My previous industry certifications and academic background were subtly dismissed, creating a sense of being undervalued from day one. - Issues brought to management were either dismissed or left unresolved. No effort was made to improve the working atmosphere, even after conflicts were escalated.
