Pros

- Competitive salary - Good benefits, such as breakfast and snacks in the office and gym membership - Founders seem to be nice people who care about their company

Cons

This review concerns my experience in the Berlin office, I believe the situation is different in other offices. Terrible environment. You either are a "yes man", or you'll end up being bullied and ostracised by management. Poor respect and lots of politics (management talking behind employees backs and escalating conflicts to shouting terms are not uncommon). Far from gender-equal mentality. Very high turn over (5 out of 12 employees left the company in the past year). While some of the employees are competent and nice, many of them seem to lack basic experience for their role. Nepotism seems to be present. Everything is micro-managed, and what was decided yesterday often doesn't hold today (but the change is not communicated).

Pros

- amazing office space with a no drama, supportive, high-energy culture - great people that genuinely care about you and your personal/professional development. A safe place to try new things and learn from those findings. No bad ideas! - international offices which brings a cool energy and diverse staff. Working on projects internationally is a good growth opportunity for project management/communication skills, and developing relationships across the entire company regardless of location - work is exciting, clients are really interesting, get to work on high-tech and innovative projects unlike anywhere else - laid back & flexible environment that allows you to have your own life while still getting high-quality work done

Cons

- If you’re not a motivated self-starter you will likely have a harder time adjusting, but that’s part of the personal growth aspect - practice self-leadership to get work done. - working across different time zones can be difficult at times, but it’s worth it in the end to have a completed project from different teams.
