bad management

Pros

- big scale - nice people in most teams - constant feedback loops - great location

Cons

- few persons taking over management - less than average salary and benefits although they brag being a unicorn - take-it-or-leave-it attitude. Many great, loyal and hardworking developers left and no one asked why or changed something. - they have one of the most strict WFH policies I have ever seen, even when the BVG striked for a single day they required everyone to come!

Pros

-a lot of employees in the same building, it means you can know many interesting people -a lot of nationalities, that's cool -big company to build up your experience and CV

Cons

-no leadership trainings: leads and managers (and also head of) are completely inexperienced and dont know how to deal with people/teams/projects -no trainings at all actually: learning and developing is not implemented at all -management only takes decision, all the rest of the employees are not involved at all in the decision-making (even in the decision sharing actually - transparency is an unknown topic) -subjective rules: depending on your situation/experience/person, decisions like promotions, increases etc will be taken. It's not consistent and compliant to any sort of structure -weak possibilities of growing, still anchored to KPIs kind of style, not truly meritocratic environment -values/culture: don't exist. No real team bonding. -retention of employees: don't exist. You resign? Fine, this is the door

Pros

The company is great to work for, if you want to work. It's definitely not a place for laying low, not do much and get paid for it, which some of the other reviewers seem to expect from their employer. There are lots of professional challenges, with very up-to-date tech stack and areas to develop professionally. Given its growth (the tech department has doubled in the past year, so they don't just hire to replace as people claim) - it's going to keep on and offer great career opportunities for those who want to work and progress. Seems like some people just like to bash, lie and hate just for getting back at whatever they feel someone did wrong to them. For example asking employees not to drink beer in the office before 17:00 (Like someone below writes) is nothing unusual in any company I know. Also the beer is always there and people drink at any day of the week, after 17:00.

Cons

There is pressure to deliver, processes can be improved and with a 4-digit number of employees, some politics is expected but it is also uncommon and frowned upon by senior management.
