      Directionless

      Customer support specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people have always been the best part of the company, unfortunately lay offs and shifts have eroded the confidence in where the company is headed and this in return made the culture nose dive.

      Cons

      Changes in plans, goals, priorities, personnel, strategy and direction every three months on top of round after round of layoffs caused all around confusion and a once thriving and lovely culture changed into one of fear and distrust.

      The good times are over

      Product marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A very nice office with all the amenities. A rather young, energetic group.

      Cons

      This used to be a great place to work but investor pressures have caused high turnover on the exec team and multiple rounds of layoffs. Trust in leadership has been lost by those employees still around.

      Toxic Culture, bad manager and leadership

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They pay slightly above market salaries, but due to salary freeze the rest of the market is quickly catching up

      Cons

      - Bad and toxic leadership - Culture of blame - They make colleagues compete against each other so there is no incentive to help anyone, every man for himself - The product is failing to get traction outside Germany, too much competition - Management operates from a perspective of distruct - Engineers are seen as dispensable resources - Top down culture and impossible to make a positive impact
