Pros

a great ambitious local team

Cons

too much complicated processes - too many approvals (boards) to take to proceed and sell & deliver to the market - cause time loss / hard fight to get self-evident things like team events

Lots of freedom for self-improvement

Pros

My company leaves me a lot of freedom for self improvement ... ... but, at the same time, encourages (and expects) me to develop strong self-responsibilty to do so. If required, you will receive guidance and mentorship on your personal development. But nobody will precisely tell you what to learn next. If you are happy to meet and communicate with people from various backgrounds, skin-color, gender, ... this company is perfectly made for you. Our diversity policy is something you will really become proud of! As with wierd dealings of present American politics, our company board is definitely on the good side. :-)

Cons

If you feel unhappy with self-empowerment this company will definitely not be your place to be. Compensation is good (you will definitely not have to starve!!), but plain. Unless you are paid on incentive, your overall compensation will consist of 12 salaries per year + no extra payments + little to no bonus. However, there will be a regular increase in your salary based on your performance.

Pros

- best manager ever - colleagues are helpful and kind - good work-life-balance - exciting technology topics

Cons

- self-paced learning is important and a good idea, but the platform YourLearning needs to be updated. Learning materials need to be improved and the courses could me more interactive (for example like DataCamp)
