Pros

Flexible schedule, some professional growth. Good atmosphere in the teams and some people still know the way forward.

Cons

Top management is restricted to Germans. Bad ones, at that. Steering Committee is steered by emotions and politics rather than data. Huge growth has no impact on employees' lives. The compensation package is just average. Tons of unfair situations and redundant positions (no one challenges the status quo) that taint the environment. Not too much professional growth. Company culture could be so much more, based on the previous. But they prefer to trust consultancy-sourced people rather than the talented people, a shame.

Pros

The job could be interesting, and most of the people working there are very nice and interesting. The salary is fairly good, and they offer a hybrid working model.

Cons

It is extremely chaotic, with many irrational changes. Some of the managers are openly discriminatory and even racist. Employees can be fired simply for having children or for wanting to have children or becoming pregnant. This has happened in practice: they find countless pretexts to dismiss you and then replace you with very young, completely inexperienced girls who have not even completed their education.
