Pros
Good products, very interesting tasks and topics, remote work possible, diverse international colleagues
Cons
Frequent reorganizations, dismissals, and early retirements. Even high-ranking employees or excellent people are made redundant. This appears to be a strategy to reduce headcount and save costs, as too few people leave voluntarily. Management decisions lack transparency and fairness. Promotions are rarely based on competence or performance — internal politics, favoritism, and cliques dominate career development. Highly qualified employees are held back by insecure managers who perceive them as a threat to their own position, rather than enabling their growth. Discrimination against women occurs, and there is a noticeable lack of concrete measures. Psychological safety is widely advertised but not practiced in day-to-day management. Agility is promoted in internal messaging but rarely practiced in reality. The company culture feels outdated, with very strong hierarchies instead of flat structures, and very limited communication between top management and operational teams.
