Pros

- Networking opportunities - Chance to learn from experienced Investment Bankers and Entrepreneurs - Free fruits, cereals and drinks

Cons

- Poor planning (several projects died before launching but after hiring - leaving a lot of new hires in limbo) - Poor communication (no farewell emails, no explanations why projects are shut down, management is never in the office) - Companies not working well / bad execution (Valendo, Billfront, Dataconomy, and Finreach are barely surviving) - Terrible work environment (half of 2015 hirings left the company, pessimism began to rein since some months ago)

Pros

People in general are very friendly. Work life balance. They respect your vacation time. They're trying with their culture. They have free breakfast.

Cons

Watch out for the bait and switch. They'll give you inflated titles and give you junior work. Consultants shouldn't be running the company. Waterfall waterfall waterfall. All the smart people leave within 3 months. You're a department of a big German company. English work language they said, managers speak German. Was told several times that I won't become a CEO as I'm not German, not that I even asked. Ridiculous valuations. Feels like a ponzi scheme.

Pros

- More professional than the former fox party character - Learn from finance consultants and entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds. - Located central and nice part of Berlin near the popular Alexanderplatz. - If management likes you personally you get promoted quickly. - They hire very friendly people so the office cheerful.

Cons

- Titles are overused at Finleap along with all Hitfox companies. Do not count on a title to be a determining factor person is skilled enough for that role. -Females are not treated equally. There are favorites by the management team and those favorites are invited to all male team building trips. - If responsibilities become almost unachievable, management is finding reasons to legally terminate you. There is a previous history of employees and cofounders who left quietly and amicably. - Hitfox and Finleap are similar to Rocket. Unoriginal, quickly built and the management turnover is a glass door that spins round to push people in and out of the company quickly. - CEO who is founder of HitFox seems nice but never knows what his management team is doing. Often he is too busy jettsetting around the world or hosting his own private parties to pay attention if he hired good or poor leadership. - There are little growth opportunities at any of the companies if you do not fit into their preconditioned profile of what an entrepreneur should look like.
