DO NOT RECOMMEND THE COMPANY FOR FOREIGNERS
Pros
Excellent access to a large data base of information
Cons
Very TERRIBLE personal experience of bullying from senior woman leader, she was making sexist comments, shouting loud, refusing any questions and playing games to destabilise me from my first weeks at the company. After years of successful working experience she only gave me dull tasks such as booking meeting rooms and sending reminders, a second woman leader told me this is your role when I tried to move it to the newly joining intern in from to the team. Then I got assigned to a project on a team of only beginners with no experience and a project lead who had no prior customer interface experience, all new to the company. The task here was to create a survey and call the cohort to verify they receive properly the document. When I ask to change to a field more in line with my field of expertise it wasn't made possible. I have always been an excellent performer in my previous company and this threw me out of balance. Make sure you are joining a field where you would be valued and where you could conduct activities in line with your experience and expectations. At the time of the interview no information was made available on this beside asking the question. As I showed what I was capable of, the situation worsen and I got further bullied. No response was given from the company, they started speaking badly in german language and also questioning the fact to even have to speak in english. This was discriminatory, mobbing and psychologically purposely orchestrated. They started to spread incorrect rumours about me and tried to sully my reputation. Then they started to give me only dull tasks, to the point of asking me to make a slide more beautiful. I was enraging, not having the proper support to get out of the situation and felt terrible. I asked to quit, they retained me to fire me a week later. As I was new to the company, I had no mean to defend myself. As a top performer, highly trusted in my previous company and fully aware of these situation, I thought this would never happen to me. However when faced with the risk to lose a job after a period of unemployment, and now facing a very difficult financial situation, it is very difficult to see clearly and make the best call for one self. I was bored out and brought down by the leads of the two teams I have been in. The level of activities given was far too low versus my experience level. As in probation period I had no mean to defend myself - it is very hard to overcome this type of experience, it brings a lot of confusion and doubts.
