Pros
The salary is still slightly higher than other startups.
Cons
The company leadership has a lack of accountability: every now and then they say things will change and get better, but they only know how to blame the employees. Every change that happens goes at the employees level but the leadership changes nothing. The company was able to hire good leaders in the past, but they all left and the remaining ones are quite lost. The bureaucracy is very German-like, changes are impossible to happen and everything moves slowly. The company domain is very specific and complex, but still the company favors new people over the existing ones. New people have no proper onboarding because there is no one to do it. Promotions are very hard, you need to put so much effort that it seem impossible. You need to get a sponsor and hope they can “sell” you good enough for the leadership. But the real issue is that they rather hire someone new than promote you.
