Pros

Decent salary package ...nothing else

Cons

it frustrate in some many levels, there is not direction, that is why results every year are worst and worst. Always looking for some head to cut when something goes wrong, knowing that issues starts high up in the organization, instead of looking for the real root cause, the environment is quite toxic, attrition of the last years is higher and higher, and talented people are leaving after short time

Pros

Very demanding company which makes you learn a lot if you’re committed to it. Career opportunities if you’re ready to go to the HQ in Düsseldorf.

Cons

Company culture is very specific, very rigid and very old school, despite having a pretty young team overall (management included - too young even probably). You basically have to give your life to the company if you want to last over there. Teams are simply under staffed for the workload per capita. And that’s just the way it is. This implies an unhealthy atmosphere, tired, demotivated and frustrated people. Difficulties of management to take decisions. A lot of time spend on analyzing over and over things that will anyway not be considered. A lot of non sense in this company that loves thinking they are the best out there and don’t know how to question themselves. On top, salary is not in line at all with the performances the company demands from employees. Fight for your raises!
