Pros

Nice colleagues, remote work during Corona.

Cons

Few weeks ago I would have given upday 5 stars, but after managers decided to delegate their work to employees to get their ideas for a new business and paying for the best ideas 500 euros (which is a joke) I decided to give it only 2 stars. Managers since they have the power and are members of AxelSpringer's board, they think they can talk however they want without any respect. There were this question asked by someone what happens if an idea brings so much profit to the company? Does the person who gave the idea get a share or reward? The rude answer from one of the managers was: "If you think your idea is so amazing and don't want to share it with us you can leave the company and pursue your dream elsewhere".
