Pros

Dreamlines is a young, international company located in the heart of Hamburg. It has a relatively flat hierarchy and informal atmosphere which is great for young professionals and those looking to find their feet. Flexible working times and extra perks (e.g. after work drinks, events, sports) are great for those arriving to a new city. There are opportunities to grow within the company which are not limited to your field of study or past experience. This is useful for those wishing to change field/focus. Even as a lower level employee, you can feel that your opinion and knowledge is important and contributes to the day-to-day running of the company.

Cons

Although there is room to grow within the Dreamlines framework, it is all at your own expense. There is little-to-no opportunity for training or further development. One must be entirely self-taught. There is a very high turnover rate across all departments. Many communication problems between the different departments. Management is very concerned with how the company appears on paper and this can often be to the detriment of employees. They expect employees to take on extra responsibilities outside of their role, without a raise in salary, a title change or lessening of their current responsibilities. They also cut roles just to bring down overhead leading to overworked teams/departments. The structure of the departments and different portals can make the chain of command very unclear and governance of particular projects/tasks often gets confused. Within this framework, it is possible for people to abuse their position without reprimand from management which causes tension between teams and individuals.

Pros

Provided growth opportunities for me which helped me learn new things.

Cons

Hired large group of people early on for the amount of business the office agents were receiving, which resulted in a lot of lay-offs.
