Slowly but surely the company is going down

Pros

Almost none at this stage. Used to be a more fun environment. Dependent on the brand either hit or miss. Either you get lucky with the team or you might end up in some toxic environment.

Cons

Salaries are too low now for the industry. The current CEO doesn’t care about people but only cares about KPIs and numbers. HR only protects the company. Some people are not on the official headcount thus get no healthcare or pension contribution. No career progression or support.

Okay but slow

Pros

Large corp with interesting app projects and, technically, a large career potential.

Cons

Software is not VW's strength. VW tends to outsource software development to full or partial external companies which leads to massive friction, disappointments, slowdown, inefficiencies, instabilities.
