Incompetent management and biased behaviour

Pros

There is hardly any point which can be considered as positive.

Cons

The job was offered because no native was interested at that time. After joining, I saw that the treatment is too biased towards the foreigners. They can't communicate in English even if the company is Finnish. Technical discussions were always held in German. No one cares whether an English speaking person is able to understand. During the coffee discussion some AfD supporters even show up and shares their views why Germany is better without the foreigners.
