Pros

Central location in Berlin. It took me one interview to get the job.

Cons

Where do I begin? The company is very profit oriented despite all the sustainability propaganda that lures you in to work with them. In Berlin, where jobs are rather supportive to those in Ludwigshafen, they care little about the well-being of their employees - crowded offices, poor on-boarding experience, even poorer salaries, no flexibility when it comes to the language (they hire more and more foreigners, promise the work in English, but continue to hold all the meetings in German), the top manager during the introduction session basically admitted he got there by a lucky coincidence. The systems and processes are outdated and very complex. Overall, I had the most terrible experience in the job market I have ever had.

Pros

Great international colleagues, great flexibility on working hours, great company parties

Cons

the company is trying to cut the budget for everything, so it is very likely that you end up doing the workload of 2 to 3 persons, with no salary raise, long long loooonnnng working hours, no development plan...
