Pros

No pros- These were the worst months of my life

Cons

During the interview I clearly mentioned I speak no german and asked if the team is international. When I joined the team was only germans and they were daily speaking german excluding me all day long. It was the worst experience ever. They were saying daily jokes and they were all laughing and I was there without understanding what's happening. A colleague also mentioned in my face at some point that she doesnt like that the company is getting more international and she is obliged to speak in english. Once I worked overtime for a project to help my colleague finish earlier and it was already 20:00. The manager ordered viet food for herself and my colleague and didnt even asked me if I want something (which I was willing to pay of course). Apparently the company was trying to get more international however the employees (germans) dont want that and they are not willing to include diversity
