Pros

The environment is very good. All the colleagues and especially my supervisors are very cooperative. When I joined the company I was expecting tough times for me where I will be required to follow some predefined rules and schedules all the time. But here the best thing was, I was given freedom to choose and work on the project I like. I could give my own input to change the perspective of the ongoing project. Above all the behaviour of my supervisor was very encouraging for me and gave me much confidence during my starting days. I hope I am going to have some really exciting moments ahead.

Cons

Language barrier is the only negative I can think of right now. One must understand and speak German if he wants a good career here but naturally it is always difficult to learn a new language. Without German language it is almost impossible to find a permanent job here.

Pros

A very forward-thinking and modern company, which I really enjoyed working for. The original company I worked for was bought out and integrated into IBM. The salary banding is very fair and the flexi-time and remote working was useful.

Cons

I honestly can't think of anything negative.
