Pros

Pay was great, benefits were great. The culture seemed good from what I can tell although I was fully remote.

Cons

People management and my experience being let go was terrible. My manager was too busy to give me time of day. I requested more 1 on 1 time to figure out the priorities of my role, and got 1 direct meeting with my manager in the span of a month. The next meeting I had with them was a meeting that telling me I was being let go due to team restructuring because juggling timezones was beginning to be hard for the team (who was mostly based in Berlin). That's fine and understandable. Unfortunate of course because even though I was trying to spend time to prove myself, I wasn't given direction on how to. Upon my exit, I was treated with condescending messaging from HR when I had questions regarding my exit. I asked about a bonus that I was wondering about since I had done my annual review months prior and bonuses were supposed to be paid out from that. But when I was told I wasn't getting a bonus because this exit was based on performance, I had questions that were answered with a very dismissing tone (like how dare I ask for clarity). In an already tough moment, that left me with such a sour taste regarding this company even if it was just the way I was treated by one employee.

Pros

Open and accessible communication: Easy to talk directly with upper management, product managers, and your own manager — minimal bureaucracy. Flexible and understanding work environment: Deadlines and workloads are discussed collaboratively, with a human-centered approach and personal situations often taken into account. Support for technical initiative: You're encouraged to suggest and lead your own technical ideas, and if there's interest, you're given the green light without much resistance. Strong company culture and benefits: Friendly and collaborative internal culture, great office space, plenty of perks, and regular team events. Autonomy and ownership: You're not micromanaged; there's a good amount of trust and freedom in how you approach your work.

Cons

Manager experience can vary: A poor manager can negatively impact your experience, and conflict resolution depends heavily on team leadership. Performance reviews may feel one-sided: Annual performance reviews and raises are infrequent and may not always feel fair or aligned with actual contributions. Limited career progression speed: Promotions and salary adjustments are rare and slow, even for high-performing individuals. Recent large-scale layoffs: The company laid off around 250 people, including high-performers with large equity packages, raising concerns about long-term stability. Learning and development could be stronger: While resources exist, the actual usage of training programs is limited, and internal mobility across countries is restricted due to standard industry policies in Germany.

Pros

- Able to WFH because management doesn't go to the office either. - Cultural diversity as you have colleagues from all over the INSEA region.

Cons

- Expect micromanaging from the top level to the bottom. As upper management is not familiar with pulling reports from SFDC, they expect people to update numerous reports on Google Sheets constantly. (40% of your time will be spent updating numbers). - Unrealistic targets: Every quarter your targets will keep increasing, regardless of whether you hit your goals. Targets are set 5 times above what people in the market are achieving. - Lack of resources/support. Management will always say they will support you, but when you need help, they go silent or don't reply in group chat. They wanted to focus on certain markets but lacked the resources/budget to drive any market initiative. - Managers don't know the market well. Doesn't know how each market functions. They just keep repeating the same old playbook, hoping things will change. Clearly, they have already lost their touch. No strategies from them. They are good at managing upwards, hence stayed in their role for very long. - Managers are flying over all, staying at places that they not supposed to stay. i.e. over-staying in certain locations and claiming that it's remote working. No oversight to their actions.

Pros

It was somehow great to work there aside my immediate team, HR and the people around me were nice.

Cons

onboarding was chaotic, it looks like i was back at Uni, i was so mobbed because i was different in my team in terms of gender etc. My immediate boss felt so untouchable and treated his staff however he wanted, it was so awkward and i'd never felt this way in my 15 years of career life (mind you the company is made up of about 95% non Germans). I'm glad i left and joined a company that had great managers.

Pros

Not too much anymore if we we're being honest

Cons

Well where to start? Purchased by Applovin, I'm sure they regret it, what they found was: 1. Rampant nepotism 2. Unqualified management due to above rampant nepotism 3. General incompetence, especially in Berlin. Due to German labor laws un-fireable, until now, somehow Applovin did it 4. You basically need to have the right relationships if you want to progress, managers will protect their favorites, it doesn't matter what you do, it's who's butt you kiss. At this point doubt you can progress at all. Only people left are yes-men/women 5. OLD commoditized tech, that no one really wants or needs anymore 6. The whole MMP space is basically done Alot of reviews blame Applovin, but these problems have always been there, especially in the last 3-4 years. The company was lucky to be bailed out by the acquisition, founders got wealthy, workers got shafted. If you look at the competition no one wants/needs this anymore. The industry's moved on
