Pros

Work atmosphere is good, nice colleagues, not a bad salary, compared with other German IT companies.

Cons

Difficult to get promoted as a software developer. In generally, normal IT company will encourage the engineers to work efficiently and focus on coding, just like a slogon: DO NOT talk and show me the code.

But you can not get promoted, because you are talking too little in our team". Are you kidding me? Software project is done by idle talking or real coding? I agree that developers should share their knownlege with others. But TALKING should not be recognized as one promotion specification in IT company!!!!! Such thing will push to the developers to focus other ascpects, for example: try to please their managers, join the no-ending process discussing, and son
