Pros

The salary is good for a German employer.

Cons

Poor work-life balance due to late meetings, top-down decisions made in Seattle without regard to the reality in "remote" offices such as Aachen, Germany.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
